A multi-agency search and rescue training exercise named Operation Oasis will take place from March 20 to 22, 2026, in the Lake Tekapo area of New Zealand’s South Island.
Involving over 200 personnel from organizations including Police, Coastguard, Surf Life Saving New Zealand, and the New Zealand Defence Force, the drill will simulate complex emergency scenarios using helicopters, boats, and ground teams across varied terrain.
