A military reform plan has been adopted at a Security Council meeting chaired by President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. The Head of State emphasized the importance of creating a modern, mobile and technologically advanced army as soon as possible. A key aspect of the military reform is the transition to a two-stage model of conscription service. During the first six months, recruits will undergo training at training centres, while the following six months will be spent serving directly in military units. In addition, plans include establishing institutes for military consultants and an Ombudsman for Military Personnel. Unmanned Forces will also be established, and the structure of the Armed Forces will be revised. Another important element of the military reform will be the adoption of a new information and communications strategy and improvements in educational work based on the constitutional principle of Law and Order. The Government and the Security Council have been tasked with coordinating the implementation of the plan.
