COVID-19 was reported in New Zealand less than a month after the exercise. This was closely followed by an announcement from the NZCF Headquarters of "an operational pause to all NZCF activities".

To be reviewed on a weekly basis, while all of New Zealand remained at Alert Level 3 or above then all NZCF activities ceased. The cause for this "Operational Pause" was for two reasons; To prevent the spread of COVID-19 within the organisation and comply with government restrictions on the size of gatherings. To free up NZDF personnel in NZCF roles for recall to other positions for Operation PROTECT. Due to the multiple COVID-19 resurgences in New Zealand there have been further operational pauses, forcing NZCF units to rapidly shift to online learning tools. Due to the continued closure of NZ borders all international exchanges have been indefinitely postponed. Future Upcoming Activities and (probable) historical events include: National Cadet Activity - Scheduled for early 2023, this event will likely follow the same format as Cadet 2020 and Cadet 150.

Introduction of Cadet Working Dress - As of August 2021 the Air Cadets' new CWD uniform rollout is underway, Navy Cadets are expected to receive theirs in 2022 and Army Cadets in 2023. 80th Anniversary of the formation of the New Zealand Air Training Corps. The implementation of the 'Cadet Strategy 25'. This is a general strategy regarding the improvements following a "CADET" framework. Cadets - Offer and exciting, challenging and fun military cadet experience to as many young people as our resources can sustain, and to inculcate the ethos and values of the NZCF, in order to better enable cadets to succeed in the future. Adults - Invest in adult staff and support personnel (Officer, Officers-under-training, Supplementary Staff and Support Committees) in
