National Guard Day is observed in Kazakhstan every January 10, celebrating the servicemen of the National Guard of Kazakhstan. This day marks the anniversary of the formation of the Internal Troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1992, which later transformed into the National Guard in 2014. The National Guard is responsible for law enforcement, riot control, and counter-terrorism efforts, ensuring the security of state facilities and public order. The organization is composed of various military units, including regional commands and specialized units like the Birkit Special Operations Unit. Celebrations typically include awarding decorations to distinguished guardsmen and an annual gala concert featuring the Song and Dance Ensemble of the National Guard. The emblem of the National Guard features elements from the Kazakh flag, symbolizing its national significance.
