Wellington (City of Wellington's Own) and Hawke's Bay Regiment

The Wellington (City of Wellington's Own) and Hawke's Bay Regiment is a Territorial Force unit of the New Zealand Army. It was formed in 1964 during the reorganisation of the army by the amalgamation of two seperate regiments:

• 5th Wellington Regiment
• 9th Hawke's Bay Regiment

The amalgamation saw the new regiment become a TF battalion of the Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment. This was until the later reorganisation of 1999, which saw the TF battalions split from the RNZIR to become multi-function battalion groups. The Wellington and Hawke's Bay Regiment became the 7th Wellington and Hawke's Bay Battalion Group, with the following unit types:

• Infantry – Hawke's Bay Company, Wellington Company
