Servicemen of the Spring 2025 conscription serving in Military Unit 5513 of the National Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan are preparing for discharge into the reserve. During their year of service, they helped maintain public order on city streets, guarded secure facilities, and performed duties at penitentiary institutions.
Over the course of their service, the soldiers of Conscription Cycle 1-2025 successfully completed 256 service and combat missions. Personnel of the unit were deployed 65 times to ensure security during mass public events.
While conducting patrol duties, they delivered 574 individuals to the internal affairs authorities, including 72 persons suspected of committing crimes. In addition, 38 attempts to smuggle prohibited items into correctional facilities were prevented near penitentiary institutions.
Three servicemen distinguished themselves through their dedication and service in various areas of the National Guard’s mission.
Private Nurbolat Murat from Kokshetau became widely known after a video of him gained thousands of views on social media. While on duty, the guardsman comforted a crying child in a stroller, earning heartfelt appreciation from online users. Before joining the military, Nurbolat worked in the food service industry, and during his service he qualified as a military cook. His story became a vivid example that servicemen are distinguished not only by discipline and responsibility, but also by compassion.
Private Beibarys Rakhym was drafted from the city of Shymkent. During the Military Oath ceremony, he was entrusted with leading the color guard among the conscripts. Today, he serves at a vehicle checkpoint of a penitentiary institution, where the security of the facility depends on his vigilance.
Private Nurdaulet Kosherbay also arrived for service from Shymkent. Before joining the military, he was actively involved in judo. He now serves as part of a guard unit responsible for protecting penitentiary institutions. According to the guardsman, military service allowed him not only to continue practicing sports but also to gain valuable life experience.
In the coming days, the soldiers will return home. Each of them will remember this year differently, but they all share one thing in common — the experience of military service, responsibility for the safety of citizens, and an understanding of the importance of military duty.
Overall, during the past year, National Guard servicemen across Kazakhstan detained and delivered approximately 18,000 offenders to internal affairs authorities, including more than 700 individuals suspected of crimes. They carried out 3,308 patrol missions, ensured security during 985 mass events, seized 308 firearms and bladed weapons from illegal circulation, and uncovered 153 cases involving the possession and transportation of narcotic substances. In addition, the law enforcement troops provide security for 39 penitentiary institutions and one industrial facility.
Today, as they conclude their service, these soldiers are passing the baton to a new generation of recruits who will continue carrying out missions to ensure public safety and law and order in the ranks of the National Guard.
