The spring conscription for compulsory military service in the National Guard will be conducted in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The process will follow the same procedures as the draft for the Armed Forces, other military branches, and military formations.

Every year, more than 14,000 citizens are drafted into the National Guard. In the spring draft of 2025, approximately 7,000 conscripts will be sent for service. The deployment of military units is scheduled between May 20 and June 30.

The conscripts will serve in units primarily stationed in cities of national and regional significance. Their duties will include:

Guarding key state facilities

Maintaining public order in cooperation with law enforcement agencies

Providing security for correctional institutions

Currently, representatives of National Guard military units are conducting preliminary selection of conscripts through Defense Affairs Departments.

As part of support for conscripted servicemen, 3,000 educational grants were allocated in 2024 for the Armed Forces, other military branches, and military formations. Of these, 1,267 grants were awarded to National Guard servicemen.

Notably, 22 conscripts, upon completing their mandatory service, enrolled in the National Guard Academy to become commissioned officers and earn their lieutenant ranks.
