military exercise cancelled

Military exercise between Tonga and NZ cancelled

Exercise Tropic Wing 2017 was mutually agreed upon by HMAF and the NZDF during a meeting in 2015.

The purpose of the training exercise is to maintain the close cooperation and relations between both armed forces, and to further develop military skills and jungle training of respective troops.

The exercise was planned to take place on Tongatapu and ‘Eua in close coordination with the Tonga Police Force, Tonga Airport Authority and Forestry in Eua. HMAF is looking forward to further opportunities in the future to train with our development partners.
