On May 5 AC users were active participants of the topic ''25 Anniversary of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan''.

Kazakhstan is located in the center of the Eurasia continent and occupies the ninth place in the world in terms of area - 2,724.9 thousand km². In the east, north and northwest, Kazakhstan borders Russia, in the south - with Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Turkmenistan, and in the southeast - with China.

Kazakhstan is an independent state, and its purpose is to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. For this, the army and police are necessary.

On May 7, 1992 the Armed Forces of the Republic of  Kazakhstan were created under the decree of the President Nursultan Nazarbayev. This is our army. On June 23,1992 the law «On the Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan Authorities», i.e. police, was passed.

Army of Kazakhstan is divided into three types of Armed forces –

Land Forces, Air Defense Forces and Naval Forces.

The Land Forces also include kinds of troops such as Airmobile Troops, Missile Troops and Artillery. In addition to the Armed Forces, military organization includes Republican Guards, Interior Troops  and Border Guard Service.

Land Forces are designed for combat operations on land. They are the first to meet the enemy on their borders and to attack. Missile Troops and Artillery are designed for combat operations  with the gun and missile systems use, as well as artillery reconnaissance and control 

Airmobile Troops  are designed for operational, rapid execution of sudden, urgent tasks. 

Air Defense Forces conduct reconnaissance, protect cities from the enemies air raids, carry valuable cargo.

Naval Forces protect the interests of the country while conducting combat operations at sea.They also provide merchant ships protection from pirate attack.

The National Guard of Kazakhstan is the young, but a worthy competitor to the famous airborne troops and marines. It was established by the Presidential Decree of 16 March 1992 as a separate military unit and reserve armed forces, and actually the Republican Guard is considered to be an elite unit, the best and most prestigious in the structure of the army in the country.

No wonder that it is called a "business card" of our country. Beside security maintenance of the President and the higher authorities of the state, participation in ceremonial rituals, the unit stands honor guard at the standards of the National flag and the coat of arms, protects critical facilities, and in case of emergency is called to participate in the activities set by the appropriate law.

 A miltary service – is a honorable duty of every citizen of  the Repulic of Kazakhstan.
