💨 Abstract

The New Zealand Defence Force plans to cut 374 civilian positions to reduce costs and stay within budget. The proposed job cuts are due to the need to prioritize outputs and find savings while maintaining combat readiness. The Defence Capability plan, which will increase military spending, is expected soon. The Defence Force currently employs 3,294 civilians, with plans to create 293 new roles to offset the cuts.
