New Zealand
The New Zealand Defence Force also employs Physical Training Instructors, who bear the same symbols as their British counterparts. The New Zealand Army Physical Training Corps (NZAPTC) wear the crossed swords, the Royal New Zealand Navy wear the crossed clubs, and the Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) wear the clubs and arms. In January 2010, the RNZAF amalgamated the Physical Training Instructor trade with the Air Security trade and renamed it Force Protection. Force Protection personnel specialise in one of three areas: Ground Defence, Security and Investigations, or Physical Training. Physical Training qualified personnel are classified as Force Protection Physical Training Specialists (FP(PT)). The NZ Army and RNZN PTIs remain in their traditional name and structure.
RNZAF PTIs utilise the motto Mens Sana In Corpore Sano, which roughly translates as "a healthy mind in a healthy body".
