Today is a professional holiday celebrated by military engineers of the Armed Forces.
The Engineering troops were formed in 1993 on the basis of formations and units stationed in Kazakhstan. For more than three decades, significant changes have taken place in the command and control system, their structure and technical equipment.
Specialists of the engineering troops carry out fortification equipment of positions, mine clearance of terrain and objects from explosive objects, organize crossings over water barriers, carry out demolition work, lay routes for the movement of troops, are engaged in their water supply, camouflage and imitation.
These types of work require soldiers to have thorough technical knowledge, well-thought-out actions, accurate calculations, and sometimes non-standard solutions.
Military engineers provided tangible assistance to the local population and business organizations during the spring flood of 2024. Ferry crossings were deployed from the set of the pontoon bridge park on the Uil River in the Aktobe region and on the Yesil in the North Kazakhstan region and Akmola regions.
With the help of military engineers, over three thousand people were evacuated from flooded areas, fifteen hundred units of agricultural machinery were transported and over 400 tons of humanitarian aid were delivered.
Blasting operations were carried out in Atyrau region to divert flood waters from settlements. In the East Kazakhstan region, transport links were restored on the destroyed section of the road between settlements using a heavy mechanized bridge to provide life support to settlements. In addition, electrical supply of the affected settlements of the Akmola region was organized.
The troops are armed with remotely controlled sapper robots, equipment for organizing mine-explosive barriers and conducting engineering reconnaissance, earthmoving machines, drilling rigs for water extraction.
Staffed by qualified specialists and equipped with modern military equipment, the units of the engineering troops are always ready to carry out tasks aimed at ensuring the country's defense capability and the safety of the civilian population.
