The New Zealand Defence Force, however small is well trained and capable. They still have an Airforce, although with no Fighter Wing, they basically use the aircraft for transport purposes. It's Navy is small, not too sure about it's capabilities, but the NZ Army are ver professional and able to hold their own. NZ's Special Forces consists of only (as far as I know) NZSASR...New Zealand Special Air Service Regiment, they cross train with the Aussie SASR and with the Yanks and British SAS.

r3mix really was out of place with his comment. NZ has some very well trained soldiers, and I'm glad to have them as Allies and close neighbours. Blame the shitty New Zealand Government for it's fucked choices for the direction of it's Armed Forces, not the men and women who make up the NZ Defence Force.
