SCHOFIELD BARRACKS, Hawaii - New Zealand’s sergeant major of the army visited the Noncommissioned Officer Academy, June 14, in conjunction with a visit to Pacific Command and U.S. Army-Pacific.

“We look forward to working with the New Zealand soldiers and sharing our curriculum,” said Command Sgt. Maj James Fraijo, commandant, NCO Academy-Hawaii.
