NEW ZEALAND CADET FORCES
The New Zealand Cadet Corps (NZCC), is one of the three corps in the New Zealand Cadet Forces, the other two being the Air Training Corps (ATC), and Sea Cadet Corps (SCC). There is no reference to the Army within the official title of the NZCC, but an army theme is used for the NZCC. All of its members, from the cadets themselves to the officers and the support committees are civilian volunteers. Members have no obligation to head into the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) however some do choose to join the NZDF.
ICU is an Army Cadet Unit part of The New Zealand Cadet Corps.
The NZCC is the land force component of the NZCF and is aligned with the NZ Army. As well as the weekly commitment, there are a wide range of activities held on various weekends throughout the year.
ICU operates under the vision, mission and values of the NZCF, these values form the backbone of our thinking and the way we operate.
