A search has resumed this morning for a soldier missing on Lake Moawhango near Waiouru.
The soldier went missing last night during a training exercise.
Ruapehu Area Commander Inspector Steve Mastrovich says police were called just before six, after the soldier in his late 20's fell from an inflatable boat, on return from a training exercise.
He says police, New Zealand Defence Force Staff and a rescue helicopter were used yesterday evening to look for the man.
The police dive squad will be assisting in the search today.
