5th / 7th Battalion , Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment 5th / 7th Battalion , Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment is a territorial force infantry battalion of the New Zealand Army with its headquarters in Trentham , New Zealand . History . The 7th ( Wellington ( City of Wellington ' s Own ) and Hawke ' s Bay ) Battalion , RNZIR was formed in 1964 during the reorganisation of the army by the amalgamation of two separate regiments : The Wellington West Coast and Taranaki regiment became the 5th ( Wellington West Coast and Taranaki ) Battalion , RNZIR The respective amalgamations saw the new regiments become TF battalions of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment . This lasted until another reorganisation in 1999 , which saw the TF battalions split from the RNZIR to become multi - function battalion groups . Then again in 2012 the territorial force reorganised with the battalion groups splitting and the former units rejoining their parent corps and regiments . The infantry battalions were amalgamated from six to three , this included the 5th and 7th battalions which amalgamated to form the 5 / 7 Battalion , Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment . Regimental bands . Until 30 June 2012 , both battalions each had a regimental band or regimental pipes and drums .

This dates from the service of the Taranaki Volunteer Rifle Corps , from which the Taranaki Regiment is descended , during the New Zealand Land Wars , specifically in the Battle of Waireka . The other unit to share this honour is the Cape Town Highlanders Regiment a reserve mechanised unit of South African Army .

Elements of national security National security has a number of component elements which , when individually satisfied , provide a nation with security of its values , interests and freedom to choose policy . These are listed differently by various authorities . Besides the military aspect of security , the aspects of politics , society , environment , energy and natural resources , and , economics are commonly listed . The elements of national security corelate closely to the concept of the elements of national power . Choice of elements . As in the case of national power , the military aspect of security is an important , but not the sole , component of national security . To be truly secure , a nation needs other forms of security . Authorities differ in their choice of nation security elements . Romm . Joseph J . Romm , an American physicist , climate change and energy security expert , in his 1993 book " Defining national security : the nonmilitary aspects " takes Ullman ' s 1983 definition of threat as a starting point and lists security from narcotic cartels , economic security , environmental security and energy security as the non - military elements of national security . Paleri . Prabhakaran Paleri , an Indian academician , lists a larger number of elements in his book " National Security : Imperatives And Challenges " ( 2008 ) : Paleri has chosen these elements keeping in mind that each term should be a fundamentally whole concept , universally applicable , of macro - level social impact and directly affecting human life ; continuously under threat ; uninterrupted in continuity from its origin in its existence , even though this may be periodic ; and , currently in vogue in the current language of natural security , in addition to a number of other attributes . Paleri also examines and rejects certain terms , commonly found in discussions on national security , such as " homeland security " , " terrorism " , " social security " etc .

As Scimitars started to be phased out of first line servicing , 736 Squadron was disbanded on 26 March 1965 . 736 NAS reformed shortly afterwards with the Blackburn Buccaneer S . 2 , using aircraft and aircrews from the recently disbanded 700B Flight ( the Buccaneer S . 2 Intensive Flying Trials Unit ) in order to train aircrews for the aircraft . Still based at RNAS Lossiemouth , from 1967 onwards the unit shared a pool of aircraft with 803 NAS , the Buccaneer HQ and weapons trials unit . With the decision to transfer all the RN ' s Buccaneers to the RAF , 736 NAS took on the extra task of training RAF crews . To cope with this , several Buccaneer S . 1s were taken out of storage to increase the numbers of aircraft available , and a number of RAF aircrew who had previously served exchange tours with FAA Buccaneer squadrons were posted to 736 NAS as instructors . After a few accidents due to engine problems the S . 1s were withdrawn from service in 1970 . In 1971 the RAF stood up their own operational conversion unit ( 237 OCU ) to take over the training of both their own and the dwindling number of RN aircrews . 736 NAS was finally disbanded in early 1972 , and was inactive until it was recommissioned in order to operate the Fleet Air Arm ' s Hawk T1s in 2013 .
