Back then, units were based in schools and were limited to males. Numbers reached close to an unwieldy 60,000 by 1964. However, Cadet Units nearly ceased to exist in the late 1960s, but were saved by the community and our supporters such as the RNZRSA in conjunction with an agreement with NZDF. This led to the creation of the New Zealand Cadet Forces in 1971 through the Defence Act. The units on the right are from 1980-1990 and are just a sample of the NZCC units existing at that time. This was an era of Open Units starting up, with a healthy mix of male and female, which can be seen by the Unit Titles. | Facebook". www.facebook.com. Retrieved 30 September 2023.
