A New Zealand Army soldier reveals every piece of gear he would take on a 72-hour mission. Sam, a bombardier serving in the New Zealand Army's 16th Field Regiment, asked us not to use his full name for operational-security reasons.<br />While much of Sam's field gear resembles that carried by US service members, he shared some terms that many Americans may not be familiar with, such as "hoochie" and "scroggin."<br />In November 2023, the New Zealand Army participated in the Joint Pacific Multinational Readiness Center training exercise hosted by the US Army's 25th Infantry Division in Hawaii.
