The Chief of the New Zealand Army, Air Marshal Tony Davies, resigned due to an inappropriate relationship during his command. He acknowledged personal reasons and past judgment errors, which contradicted the values of the Defence Force. Davies expressed regret for not disclosing the relationship earlier and requested privacy as he focuses on his family. The case has been referred to an independent oversight body. Defence Minister Paul Goldsmith stated that the circumstances of the resignation would disappoint many in the armed forces, emphasizing issues of integrity that were not previously disclosed. Davies had been appointed as army chief in 2024.
