More than 7,000 young Kazakhstanis will join the ranks of the law and order troops this autumn. The autumn conscription campaign will run from September 9 to October 15.

Conscripts in the National Guard undergo military training and acquire military specialties based on the specific requirements of their service. In addition, under the “Conscript 2.0” programme, distinguished servicemen have the opportunity to obtain higher education free of charge. To date, more than 70 universities have signed memorandums on admitting servicemen. Every year, more than 1,400 Guardsmen receive educational grants.

Young people who acquire a military specialty have another opportunity available to them. After completing their compulsory military service, they can continue their careers in the National Guard on a contract basis.

The first stage of the autumn conscription campaign began at the Astana city akimat’s assembly point. A ceremony was held here to see off 35 conscripts who were sent to begin their military service. They have now arrived at Military Unit 5571 in Almaty. In addition, 20 conscripts from Abai Region arrived in the capital to begin their service at Military Unit 5573.

In the coming weeks, the conscription campaign will continue across the regions, while National Guard military units will be reinforced with new defenders of the Motherland. After taking the Military Oath and completing the necessary training, the young Guardsmen will begin carrying out tasks related to maintaining public order and ensuring public safety.

During their compulsory military service, servicemen take part in protecting important state facilities and institutions of the penal system, as well as maintaining public order jointly with internal affairs agencies.

During their daily duties, Guardsmen assist citizens in a variety of situations. For example, servicemen frequently find children who have become separated from their parents and return them to their families. They also help residents recover lost valuables.

Every day, more than 7,000 Guardsmen in 21 cities across the country are involved in maintaining public order and ensuring public safety. During the first six months of this year, National Guard servicemen carried out more than 1,300 public-order tasks. As part of patrol and sentry duties, more than 6,000 offenders were detained and taken to internal affairs agencies, including 151 people suspected of committing crimes.
