Chapter 1: Ministry of defence

A ministry of defense or defense (see spelling changes), sometimes known as a department of defense or defense, is the portion of a government that is responsible for affairs pertaining to defense and military forces. Governments that are divided into ministries or departments are found in states where the government is organized into ministries or departments. This type of department often encompasses all elements of the armed forces and is typically governed by a minister of defense or a secretary of defense.

There is a significant amount of variation in the function of a minister of defense from one nation to the next. In some countries, the minister is solely responsible for overseeing general budgetary affairs and the acquisition of equipment, while in others, the minister is also an essential component of the operational chain of command for the military.

Historically, these departments were known as a ministry of war or department of war. However, in most cases, they were only responsible for the army of a country, and a different department was responsible for the administration of the other branches of the military. Before World War II, the majority of things that were referred to be ministries of war were actually army ministries. On the other hand, the navy and the air force, if they were a separate branch, had their own departments. For instance, the Soviet Union possessed a ministry of war in addition to a ministry of the navy as late as the year 1953.

After the end of World War II, there was a trend toward consolidating and renaming these departments, as well as coordinating the mostly distinct components of the defense (air, land, and naval) that had existed up until that point.

There were a number of acts taken by the President of Kazakhstan on May 7, 1992, in relation to the defense sector. He signed a decree on the 'establishment of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kazakhstan', the transformation of the State Committee of Defence of the Republic of Kazakhstan into the Ministry of Defence, on the attribution of Sagadat Nurmagambetov the military rank of Colonel General, and the appointment of General-Colonel Sagadat Nurmagambetov as Defence Minister of Kazakhstan. During his tenure as Minister of Defense, Mukhtar Altynbayev held the position twice, the most recent time being from December 2001 to January 10, 2007.

Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union on June 30, 1992, the Turkestan Military District of the Soviet Armed Forces was dissolved after the Soviet Union fell apart. The most strong grouping of forces from the Turkestan Military District was subsequently selected to serve as the core of Kazakhstan's new military infrastructure. Kazakhstan was able to acquire all of the units that were part of the 40th Army, which was formerly known as the 32nd Army, as well as a portion of the 17th Army Corps. These units included six land force divisions, storage bases, the 14th and 35th air-landing brigades, two rocket brigades, two artillery regiments, and a significant amount of equipment that had been removed from over the Urals following the signing of the Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.

Following the implementation of a presidential decree on July 6, 2000, the armed forces were reorganized into a dual structure consisting of general-purpose troops and air defense forces. Additionally, the Airmobile Forces were founded, and with their establishment came the transfer to a new military-territorial structure consisting of pre-existing military districts. According to a regulation that was issued in February of 2001, the roles of the Ministry of Defense and General Staff were separated. It was not until the years 2000 and 2003 that the change of the Armed Forces to the brigade structure of troops was completely achieved.

At Otar Military Base on May 7, 2013, Kazakhstan had its very first military parade in its entire history. The parade was held in celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day, which was officially recognized as a national holiday for the very first time. The first woman to ever be promoted to the rank of General achieved this honor during the event.

A decision was made by the countries that make up the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) to send troops to Tajikistan during the civil war that was taking place there. Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan were the countries that took part in the event.

One of the most comprehensive peacekeeping operations in the Commonwealth of Independent States is carried out by Kazakhstan. The 38th Air Assault Brigade (KAZBRIG) of the Airmobile Forces is the primary military unit responsible for maintaining peace in Kazakhstan. The KAZBAT is the primary peacekeeping military unit.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kazakhstan, Kazakhstani military members who are volunteers have been called upon to participate in the fight against the virus. In addition to patrolling the streets and stationing themselves at checkpoints and public institutions, the volunteers are also responsible for enforcing lockdowns.

A quarter of the funding that was allotted to the Ministry of Defense in 2012 was made available for the purpose of modernization, restoration, overhaul, and the procurement of weaponry. The total amount spent on defense throughout the period of 2012 to 2014 was 12 billion tenge.

For a considerable amount of time, the 32nd Army had been stationed in Kazakhstan. Initially, the 32nd Army was renamed the 1st Army Corps in 1988, and then in June of 1991, it was renamed the 40th Army. The Kazakh government took possession of it in May of 1992. The First Army Corps was established on November 1, 1992, with its headquarters located in Semipalatinsk. It was formed on the basis of troops that had previously been a part of the Soviet 40th Army belonging to the Turkestan Military District. Subsequently, the Eastern Military District was established at its base, and on November 13, 2003, it was renamed Regional Command East.

There are now four regional commands that make up the Ground Forces:

The Regional Command Astana (with its headquarters in Karaganda)

Headquarters of the Regional Command East are located in Semipalatinsk.

Regional Command West located in Atyrau, with its headquarters

Location of the Regional Command South (Taraz Headquarters)

Additional forces include the Artillery and Missile Forces, which were established as a separate branch on May 7, 2003, as well as the Airmobile Forces, which consist of four brigades.

At the time that the Soviet Union was falling apart, the 24th Fighter-Bomber Aviation Division was stationed in Kazakhstan. This division consisted of three aviation regiments in addition to three independent regiments. It was Major General Aliy Petrovich Volkov who was in charge of the Air Force at the time.

At the present time, the Kazakh Air and Air Defense Force possesses four bases for fast jets:

Featuring a MiG-29, the 600th Guards Air Base is located in Zhetigen, Nikolayevka, Almaty, MiG-29 aircraft from the 602nd Air Base in Shymkent, Previously known as the 129th Fighter-Bomber Regiment, the 604th Air Base, Taldykorgan Airport, is being equipped with MiG-27 and Su-27 aircraft.

MiG-31 aircraft can be seen at the 610th Air Base, Sary-Arka Airport, Karaganda.

The framework for Eurocopter's creation of a 50/50 joint venture with Kazakhstan Engineering Kazakhstan to assemble EC145 helicopters was established today, on October 28, 2010, through the signing of two strategic agreements. These agreements also establish the framework for the sale of 45 of these locally assembled aircraft for government missions in Kazakhstan. Delivery is scheduled to continue until the year 2017.

Airbus Military entered into a legally binding agreement with Kazspetsexport, a state-owned company that is affiliated with the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, on January 3, 2012, for the purpose of supplying two EADS CASA C-295 military transport aircraft, in addition to the associated service support package for spare parts and ground support equipment. Furthermore, a memorandum of understanding has been made for a further six C295 aircraft, and separate firm contracts will be signed for each of these aircraft in a gradual manner over the course of the following weeks and months. It is anticipated that the first two aircraft will be delivered by April of 2013, and a delivery plan will be established for the remaining six aircraft over the course of the subsequent years. The purchase in question is most certainly a kind of a quid pro quo. Titanium sourcing agreements were established between EADS and Kazakh producers in the year 2008. The latest systems that will be installed on these Eurocopters will be manufactured by the Turkish company Aselsan.

According to a presidential decree issued on May 7, 2003, Kazakhstan's Naval Forces were founded, despite the fact that Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country on the planet. From their base in Aktau, they conduct business in the Caspian Sea. There are fourteen inshore patrol ships owned and operated by the Kazakh Naval Force, which has a total strength of three thousand personnel.
