Background
The Military Reenactment Society was established in 2002 as part of the New Zealand wing of the Commemorative Air Force. In 2007 they separated from the Commemorative Air Force and became a stand alone organization. The Military Reenactment Society performs public displays and battles at events such as the Museum of Transport and Technology Military Open Day, Warbirds over Wanaka and the Classic Fighters air show. At these shows they display camps and equipment scenarios and perform scripted battles using blank ammunition and occasionally pyrotechnics in a manner as close as realistically possible to the conditions prevailing at the time.
The MRS are also used as reference for modeling and gaming companies, they have also been used in TV adds for Sky Network Television, movie rolls as extras and military advisers. The club took part in the New Zealand premiere of the Valkyrie movie and The Pacific (TV miniseries)
