After taking some time to reflect on the Defence Capability Plan (DCP) 2025, I am generally supportive of its direction and content. I agree with Judith Collins' characterization of it as a beginning — “the floor, not the ceiling” — and the analogy that the NZDF has moved “out of intensive care and into the ward.” However, much more remains to be done.
