A solemn Military Oath ceremony for new conscripts was held at Military Unit 5548 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan. For every serviceman, this marked one of the most important days of their life, as the Military Oath symbolizes the beginning of their journey as defenders of the nation.Parents, relatives, and loved ones gathered to share this memorable occasion with the young soldiers. After the ceremony, the parade ground was filled with congratulations as families embraced their sons, took commemorative photographs, and wished them success in their military service.Among the hundreds of servicemen celebrating this milestone with their families, however, was one young soldier who quietly watched from the sidelines. No one had been able to come to support him that day.The moment was noticed by Gulmira Zhanysbayeva, the Mangystau Region and Aktau representative of the "Analar Zhuregi" (Mothers' Hearts) Soldiers' Mothers Committee. She approached the serviceman, spoke with him, and recorded a short video, which she later shared on social media.The young soldier's sincere emotions deeply touched viewers. In less than 24 hours, the video had been viewed nearly 1.5 million times, with thousands of Kazakhstanis leaving messages of encouragement, noting that the story served as a reminder of the importance of compassion, care, and human kindness.The soldier featured in the video was Private Vladimir Usov, who had been conscripted from the city of Uralsk. Due to valid personal circumstances, his parents were unable to attend the Military Oath ceremony."Of course, I wished my parents could have been with me on such an important day. But I understand the circumstances. The most important thing is that they know I'm doing well. I will do my very best to serve with honor and live up to their trust," the young National Guardsman said.Following the ceremony, the unit's command organized video calls for servicemen whose parents had been unable to attend the event. The young soldiers were able to see their families, hear their words of encouragement, and receive congratulations on one of the most significant milestones of their military service. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1267877?lang=ru

The National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan is introducing a new digital property management system that will make it possible to track every item of equipment—from the moment it arrives at a warehouse until it is issued to an individual serviceman.This initiative follows the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between the Main Command of the National Guard and Center for Digital Economy Development LLP.The joint project aims to make the accounting of military supplies and equipment fully digital, transparent, and efficient.Each item will receive its own unique digital identifier, either an RFID tag or a barcode. This will enable commanders to monitor, in real time, the location of every item, identify the serviceman to whom it has been issued, and check current warehouse stock levels.The first military unit to implement the new system will be Military Unit 7552 in Almaty. Following the completion of the pilot project, the system is expected to be rolled out across other National Guard units throughout Kazakhstan.The transition to digital inventory management will address several key challenges. It will eliminate errors associated with paper-based accounting and inventory procedures while significantly accelerating the receipt, issuance, and verification of equipment. Processes that previously required hours—or even days—will be completed in just minutes.The implementation of modern digital technologies will enhance transparency, improve inventory accuracy, reduce information processing time, minimize the impact of human error, and establish a unified digital management system for military supplies and equipment.Through this initiative, the National Guard continues its comprehensive digital transformation, adopting advanced technologies that improve operational efficiency while making the management of state property more accurate, faster, and more transparent. Press Service of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of KazakhstanSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kvv/press/news/details/1267253?lang=ru
