all ATC personnel now wear dark blue oval badges with "AIR TRAINING CORPS" on their shoulders to differentiate themselves from the RNZAF. Cadets wear a shoulder brassard on their right arm to display their individual achievements and to further distinguish them from RNZAF personnel. Cadet achievements include Duke of Edinburgh's Award, flying/navigation badge, marksman badge and training level badges, as well as the number and name of the squadron they parade with. Commissioned Officers, Officer Cadets', National, and Area Warrant Officers do not wear brassards to distinguish themselves from unit level Warrant Officers. Uniforms The Air Training Corps follows the Royal New Zealand Air Force with regards to uniform standards and clothing items, with all mandatory clothing being issued by the RNZAF. In the past the system used was that a unit would be graded 1-5 based on the quantity of personnel that attended a units parade night. Based on that grading the unit would then be issued an annual allowance for the unit to order new uniform as replacements or to provide to new cadets. The Air Training Corps currently operates the following uniforms; In December 2020 a major overhaul was announced. In combination with the update to cadet net, new uniform will be issued directly to a new cadet upon their enrolment into a squadron. Unit equipment officers will source measurements for each cadet and enter them into CadetNet. The cadet will then be issued with uniform. Units will still maintain a local supply of uniform as spares however the bulk of uniform issued to new recruits will come from Headquarters New Zealand Cadet Forces. Air Cadet Working Dress In 2018 the NZCF identified that DPM was no longer a viable uniform for the Air Training Corps. This stemmed from the NZDF moving away from the uniform entirely. With there no longer being a source of NZDPM the organisation started exploring new uniforms. The product of that exploration is the 'Cadet Working Dress' (CWD). Intended to be introduced in late 2021 the Sea Cadet Corps and Air Training Corps have adopted a single multipurpose uniform that replaces the New Zealand Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM) currently used by the Air Training Corps as its No. 8 Field Service Uniform. The Air Training Corps will adopt the uniform first to free up DPM for the New Zealand Cadet Corps. The style of the uniform is modeled off the RNZAFs General
