Problems of 2 NZEF

Officers

Officers

(16) The replacement of Officers whose casualties have created vacancies for promotion is dealt with in Regulations for 2 NZEF, Sections E, F, G.

(17) Officers evacuated beyond RAPs or otherwise placed on ‘X’ List, at once create vacancies on the strength of the field unit and are immediately replaceable by another officer from the Base, who will be attached for 14 days, after which period, if the officer evacuated is still not available, he will be posted.

(18) Part C of AF W3008 allows COs to nominate any officer whose return to the unit is particularly requested. In general only 2 i/cs of Coys and upwards and specialist officers are to be so nominated.

(19) The Military Secretary is kept informed of all casualties to officers or requests from COs on AF W3008, and of the arrival of officers in the Training Depots.

(20) He will, as vacancies occur, select the officers to go forward to Units taking into account rank, period of time spent in the Training Depot and any special requests received. In the event of First-Reinforcements being held at an Advanced Base, OC Adv Base will decide with the Commanding Officer in the Field which officers will go forward. MS will send forward officers in replacement to Advanced Base.

(21) In the case of Infantry, replacements may be drawn from among the ex-officers of the Battalion which has the vacancy, from the ex-officers of the linked Battalions which form the group, or from reinforcement officers of the group. In the case of other arms, the officers selected will be the most suitable of those available in the Corps as a whole.
