Recurrence pattern: Every year on the last Sunday of November.

Defense Sports-Technical Organization Employee Day is observed in Kyrgyzstan every last Sunday of November. Established by the government in 1995, this professional holiday recognizes the contributions of the Defense Sports-Technical Organization (OSTO) to the patriotic upbringing of youth and the training of specialists for the Armed Forces. OSTO, the successor of the Soviet-era DOSAAF, focuses on military and patriotic education, operating over twenty centers for vocational training, including driver instruction, which accounts for 18-20% of all driver training in the country. The holiday is marked by various festive events organized by OSTO, where employees who have excelled in their roles receive special recognition and gifts. The organization plays a significant role in preparing young people for military service, as conscription is mandatory in Kyrgyzstan.
