Unit Branch Support Committee
Each SCC, NZCC and ATC unit has a Unit Branch Support Committee (USC) which is a branch of their respective National Support organisations, (SCANZ, CCANZ and ATCANZ). This is the community part of the partnership with the government through the New Zealand Defence Force.
Unit Branch Support Committees are comprised of interested parents, ex-cadets, members of the local community and anyone else who has the interest of NZ Cadet Forces at heart.
Unit Branch Support Committees are comprised of interested parents, ex-cadets, members of the local community and anyone else who has the interest of NZ Cadet Forces at heart.
Our USC is responsible for:
- Liaising with the local community and publicising the activities and achievements of the unit.
- Providing and administering funds for the maintenance and training requirements of the unit.
- Assisting the Unit Commander in preparing the annual activity programme of the unit.
- Assisting the Unit Commander in recruiting new cadets and officers.
- Assisting the Unit Commander to support and supervise local activities when required.
Unit Branch Support Committees meet whenever there is a requirement to make decisions and plans on providing support for the unit, usually once a month. Meetings follow the normal meeting format and are generally relaxed. Everyone is encouraged to contribute their knowledge and expertise.
Members of the committee are not required to attend weekly parade nights, their role is to provide the support which is not provided by NZ Cadet Forces or the unit officers.
