The role of 2 MCU was the logistic control and movement of defence personal and freight throughout New Zealand and abroad, utilising both civilian and military modes of transport.

—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“He sways his head from side to side, with movements like a snake;
And when you think he’s half asleep, he’s always wide awake.”
