To meet those requirements our New Zealand Army leader has devised a new blueprint that she believes will “create a fighting-fit force for the future!”
Our army leadership haven’t just pasted some PR spin over a previously used “keep the polies happy double speak” to present a new glossy “we’re ready” plan to show us they are on to it.
We’re not talking about new small arms, we’re not talking about new armoured vehicles, we’re not talking about new heavy artillery and we’re not even talking about new state of the art drones!
Thinking outside of the square does not even come close to being able to describe this proposal. Forget small, incremental or staggered change.
This is big time step change thinking! This is cutting edge, world leading thinking! You could even say revolutionary!
This change moves beyond “continuous improvement,” this is a complete overhaul of how things will be done!
Army leadership have taken a strategic approach and focused on achieving a radical, non-linear change. Army personnel have been emphasized as the people who will ensure this profound, sweeping change takes root, aiming for an “ownership” mentality rather than passive compliance.
This change pushes beyond comfort zones, acknowledging that real progress requires navigating uncertainty, challenging the norm, breaking new ground and managing the risk inherent in such a change!
This new blueprint is the brainchild of Chief of the Army, Major General Rose King.
Central to Roses new plan “to create a fighting-fit force for the future” is to implement a Bicultural Heritage Framework.
Now this is where this new plan begins to drift into the realms of disbelief!
To do this Rose is calling on the help of, none other than, Rongo, the god of peace, Papatūānuku, the Earth Mother, and Hine-nui-te-pō, the goddess of death.
This bicultural overhaul of Army doctrine features Māori cosmology at its core!
The NZ Army’s new “general orders” to soldiers uses a temple of te ao Māori gods as guiding influences for its strategy “to achieve a bicultural status by enabling the recognition of Māori cultural interests as they are guaranteed within Te Tiriti o Waitangi”.
The new orders introduced the Cultural Skills Framework set expectations for personnel at every leadership level. Expectations that included understanding the Treaty of Waitangi, engaging with Māori communities, practising tikanga and developing te reo Māori.
Is this not Major General Rose King simply trying to emulate what the higher education sector has been inflicting on students for decades and is now immersing it throughout the structure of the army?
Let’s call it what it is ….. BRAINWASHING!
Do you think the government ministers are now asking – “Is Major General Rose King fit for the job?”
The new doctrine has taken the NZ Army’s 1994 adoption of its role as the iwi of Ngāti Tūmatauenga – the people of the god of war – as the name for its guiding framework.
It states in its introduction: “As the people of Tūmatauenga, it is crucial for us to understand the cosmological traditions associated with the deity whose name we bear.”
This Bicultural Heritage Framework is intended to link identity to operational capability and argues it creates a shared identity that will build stronger cohesion than hierarchy alone. It said doing so better prepared soldiers for modern forms of conflict, including disinformation and psychological operations.
“…better prepared soldiers for modern forms of conflict, including disinformation and psychological operations” by invoking Maori mythology??
Gee thanks Rose. How to make our army the laughing stock of the world in one easy lesson!
The Bicultural policy set a vision of the Army as an expeditionary combat force strengthened by bicultural heritage and a diverse workforce reflecting New Zealand society. Is Rose trying to vie with our Navy in the diversity stakes? That hasn’t worked out too well for them!
I have to say words fail me!
The promotion of “Maori Wonderfulness” just reached a new level!
The forces of Ethnocracy will have won a very decisive battle if this blatant over reach of invented “partnership,” Maori Wonderfulness and Maori spirituality is not promptly and completely quashed by Chris Luxon’s government!
It is not hard to imagine some long serving and, yes male, senior army commanders, shaking their heads in wonder at this use of and reliance on the spiritual and supernatural to become “Agile, adaptive and lethal.”
That the chief of the army has the desire and the ability to implement a cultural framework based on a woke indoctrination of myths, mysticism and mumbo jumbo is symptomatic of the way those firmly embedded in positions of influence in government and government departments are able manipulate their employees and the populace.
What will it take for the general public to see where this insidious creep of Māorification will end up?
How do we get the general public to shrug of the pall of apathy that pervades our political landscape? If we are unable to do that just imagine, for one moment, how Willie Jackson and Rawiri Waititi would take Roses marvellous plan, add their “polish” to it and then we would see “Maorificationus Extremus!”
Let’s take this stupidity and elevate into the BIZARRE!
Our new “Bicultural Defence Force” framework designed by Chief of Army Major General Rose King, could have a training manual something like this –
We’re not talking about new small arms, we’re not talking about new armoured vehicles, we’re not talking about new heavy artillery and we’re not even talking about new state of the art drones!

Our new “Bicultural Defence Force” framework designed by Chief of Army Major General Rose King, could have a training manual something like this –
1. First, we shock them with a haka! Not just any haka, we use “Kapa o Pango” haka. That scares the sh-t out of the enemy!
2. We then show them our sharpened taiaha’s, our beautiful Patu’s and our Pounamu Mere!
3. Our final stratagem we employ will be the sight of the newly prepared hangi pits, fires freshly lit, ready to offer the final indignity to our enemies!
Yes, that’s ridiculous I know but then is not Major General Rose King’s belief that our combat force would be strengthened by a bicultural heritage framework that set “expectations for personnel at every leadership level. Those included understanding the Treaty of Waitangi, engaging with Māori communities, practising tikanga and developing te reo Māori.”Just as ridiculous?
For leaders in the Army, it said they should know at least two waiata, pronounce te reo Māori words correctly and have “beginner’s use” of te reo Māori. That included being able to “interact in predictable exchanges” using te reo Māori.
OMG! A very bizarre thought has just struck me; The ability to “interact in predictable exchanges” using te reo Māori. Are they expecting a Maori uprising and therefore Maori prisoners???
Is that thinking out of the square or what? Or is that just STUPID!
