Facing Nemesis-the hardest training exercises

The notorious Exercise Nemesis puts our New Zealand Army Officer Cadets to the test as one of the hardest training exercises they will face during the New Zealand Commissioning Course.

EX Nemesis takes place in the unforgiving Waiouru training area where the cadets have to complete physically and mentally taxing tasks day and night for five days with minimal food and rest. Leadership, comradeship and teamwork are integral to successfully completing the exercise.

Designed to develop our Officer Cadets’ mental and physical resilience, the exercise builds upon our soldiers’ abilities to perform under pressure for future exercises and operations.
