MEETING ThE ChALLENGE OF TRAINING The six month overlap arising from the deployment of ‘Whisky One’ (the second Rifle Company) in December 1967 and ‘Victor Three’ in May 1968—both for one year tours—this resulted in each ANZAC Battalion thereafter having to cater for a Company ‘relief’ during its tour—and as a consequence a ‘veteran’ company, having served six months, coming under Command of the next incomingANZAC Battalion for the balance of its tour. Under the New Zealand Force structure in South Vietnam, the 2ic Anzac Battalion was the Commanding Officer for disciplinary purposes for all New Zealand personnel in 1ATF. The overall strength deployed in theatre represented ten per cent of Regular Force strength of the New Zealand Army and at no stage did New Zealand introduce conscription. The Move to Singapore By December 1969 28 Comwel Inf Bde Gp had been disbanded and Terendak Garrison handed over to the Malaysian Army. By this time, as agreed by Australia and New Zealand, the remaining ANZAC elements of the now defunct Commonwealth Brigade had been withdrawn to Singapore and relocated at Changi Barracks and Neeson Garrison. For 1RNZIR this move to Singapore resulted in the unit being quartered away from its principal training areas, and as a consequence much time was to be spent in travelling into Malaysia to reach distant training grounds. Neeson Camp, however, provided excellent Base facilities and in particular had its own rifle ranges (to 600 metres) adjacent to the camp. Withdrawal from South Vietnam In 1970 there were further changes in the Vietnam commitment with ‘Whisky Three’ Company being withdrawn without replacement in November 1970. In its place 1RNZIR was then required to assist in the raising, training and deployment to South Vietnam of the first New Zealand Army training team. This reduced commitment did, however, result in a measure of stability returning to 1RNZIR. The Unit establishment was raised to 560, three rifle companies were re-established and Admin/Sp. Company reverted to separate sub-units. In May 1971‘ Victor Five’ returned and was replaced by ‘Victor Six’. 1RNZIR moved to its new home in Dieppe Barracks in Sembawang, Singapore, and in November a change of government in the United Kingdom led to a review of the decision by Britain to withdraw from the Far East. Under the auspices of the Five Power Defence Agreement, ANZUK Force hQ with 28 ANZUK Brigade (of which 1RNZIR became part) and 28 Logistic Support Force under command was established with effect from 1 November 1971. 205
