In the spring of 1992, the National Guard of Kyrgyzstan under the Ministry of Defense accepted new recruits into its ranks, which should ensure the republic’s security. In the middle of summer, they took the oath. That is why, on July 19, the Republic of Kyrgyzstan traditionally celebrates National Guard Day every year.
In honor of the celebration in the military town of special purpose "Panther" usually spend a holiday. Representatives of the Office of the President of the country and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense are guests of honor. As well as persons holding the posts of Secretary of the Defense Council and Vice-Speakers of Parliament.
The custom event takes place in a festive atmosphere. All invitees have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the equipment of the guards: military uniforms, communications and weapons. Along with this, you can explore the well-equipped educational and residential premises: a barracks, a shooting gallery and a gym.
It just so happened that on this day, the National Guard shows officials all their skills in martial arts. For example, there is an unwritten law by which a company of a guard of honor demonstrates all its techniques of combatant strides. And the Panther Special Forces, as usual, presents spectators hand-to-hand combat techniques, elements of an operation to free hostages.
Representatives of the authorities from year to year can invariably observe the passage of classes in fire and airborne training. As a rule, all these festive events are accompanied by marching bands of a military band. In turn, representatives of the command of the headquarters inform representatives of the authorities about the state of affairs in the military formation.
In 2012, it was already 20 years after the oath was taken by the first recruits. To date, the department contains 4 units. Each of them performs its functions.
The training squad is a training venue for soldiers and sergeants. A detachment that provides guards with equipment, property and food is classified as material and technical. There is also a special forces unit that directly performs all military tasks. They are entrusted with the responsibility of marching at any time of the day or night. There is also an honor guard in the guard, which usually meets important guests, including heads of state. In addition, he guards important public facilities.
According to the established rules, the head of the presidential apparatus of the country solemnly addresses the guards with a congratulatory speech, which, as a rule, shows well-deserved respect and gratitude to the guards for serving the motherland. The parting word traditionally states that Kyrgyzstan has high hopes for the power of the national guard. The head, as usual, wishes all the military personnel further success in service, family well-being, longevity, and, of course, good health.
