,,, this is an interesting question. Helen Clark has to keep the left wing happy and balance dealing with the US at the same time.

New Zealand is involved only in Operation Enduring Freedom to the point of having their new frigate Te Mana in the Gulf, near Oman. Prior to this the frigate Te Kaha carried out the same function. These vessels help in searches of shipping in and out of the Gulf, under directions of the Canadians. I understand we have C-130s and P-3s there as well. As for regular troops in Iraq? Officially, "no".
