Members of the Canadian and British forces are also taking part. The exercise is a continuance of the increasing training opportunities the NZDF is sharing with its defence counterparts.The exercise consists of a live firing component in Waiouru where soldiers and LAV will conduct live fire attacks. This will be followed by a "free play" exercise in the Wairarapa next week

TCSG Dost Started Her Duties In The Black*Sea
The first pair of offshore Patrol vessels of the Turkish Coast Guard have arrived to their home ports and started to their duties.
SG-701 TCSG Dost is located in Samsun and SG-703 TCSG Umut is located in Marmaris. *TCSG Dost started her duties in the Black Sea on 19 May 2013. It is not clear now when TCSG Umut will start her duties but I do not think it will take too long.
Both ships *were commissioned in Turkish Coast*Guard*on 5 April 2013.
The contract for the construction of 4 ships at RMK Marine Shipyard was signed on 16 January 2007. The keel of the first ship TCSG*Dost*was laid on 3 May 2008. She was launched on*9 June 2010 and was supposed to enter service last year. Similarly TCSG*Umut*was launched in 2011 and supposed to enter into*service*this year. So TCSG*Dost*is*entering*two years late and TCSG*Umut*is entering into service just about time.
These are the first large ships of the Turkish Coast Guard which never used any boat with a large displacement than 200 tons. Their primary task will be search and rescue missions on heavy seas and in bad*weather*conditions*when the*smaller*boats cannot operate. Secondary missions*will be*showing the flag,*patrolling*the seas and prevention of*smuggling.
This class of ships have fire fighting equipment and a hangar and a flight deck for helicopter operations.
These are very capable coast guard vessal and a great addition to the Turkisk coast guard, they look amazing
