NZ Defence Review - shape of forces to 2035

Public submissions called for.
Righto.
Lets see... four C17's to ferry an NZ Army configured as an expeditionary rapid reaction/peace keeping force anywhere in the world with no help from anyone else.
Get rid of the P3's. Two Global Hawks should do it. 24/7 coverage (no disrespect intended 5 Squadron).
That leaves the issue of what to do when the Chinese invade... an X45 or two should sort them out.
I guess dreams are free....
