The Waitakere Cadet Unit was started in 1980 by an ex SAS Soldier (Maj Howie James). In 1994 the units name changed to the Waitakere City Cadet Unit (WaitCCU).

Waitakere Cadet Unit (WaitCU) is part of The New Zealand Cadet Forces (NZCF)

WaitCu conducts military style youth development in line with the NZCF Mission,
To develop and enable self-disciplined, confident and responsible young New Zealanders. The unit paraded at the Te Atatu Primary School and was called the Te Atatu Cadet Unit. In that same year the unit moved to a building next to the BBQ Fa

📸 EX KAIMAI 2025– Highlights! 🌿💪🎭

Following on from an epic weekend at Ex Kaimai, our cadets didn’t just show up — they gave it everything!

Over the course of the exercise, cadets took on a 4km bush hike, went head-to-head in an intense tug of war competition, pushed through a tough endurance challenge, and best of all — they brought the laughs and creativity with team skits! 🤼‍♂️🔥🎬

It was incredible to see cadets from across the North Island working together, showing leadership, teamwork, and plenty of spirit. These moments are what cadet life is all about.

A huge shout-out to all the units who took part — it was fantastic to have you there. We’re already counting down the days until Ex MASH later this year! 🪖📅
