Safety Upgrades for Soldiers in Kazakhstan: Making the Army Safer and More Transparent
The military landscape in Kazakhstan is gearing up for a transformation, as announced by General Prosecutor Berik Ashimov via his official platform. Vechernyaya Astana reported this exciting news.
In a drive to ensure military service is rooted in principles like security, dignity, discipline, and fairness, Ashimov instructed the Main Military Prosecutor's Office to collaborate with the Armed Forces and other military formations. The result? Two innovative projects: 'Law and Order in the Army' and 'Digital Prevention'. The goals? Protecting every soldier and earning trust and support from commanders, the bedrock of any successful military unit.
To kick things off, modern IT video surveillance systems infused with cutting-edge AI technologies will be deployed in military units. These advancements will empower real-time monitoring of commanders and conscripts during field exercises, shootings, and drills, thanks to video jetons.
"A digital consultant has sprung up on army.kz, and additional communication avenues are being crafted to ensure every soldier finds their voice and is supported," Ashimov shared.
To foster transparency, integration of the digital age is on the horizon, with plans to process and digitize protocols from conscription and medical commission meetings—all accessible remotely by conscripts. This step could help circumvent dubious conscription of individuals with health restrictions.
These and other measures aim to equip Kazakhstan's soldiers with a robust protective shield during their service term, as Ashimov concludes.
While specifics about these projects are scant, Kazakhstan's ongoing military modernization initiatives—such as the development of the Taimas 8×8 wheeled infantry fighting vehicle—may offer some hints about potential connections. Kazakhstan also plans to extend its involvement in UN peacekeeping missions, further bolstering its military capabilities and safety[2][3]. As more information about these initiatives becomes available from Kazakh defense or government sources, we'll be sure to keep you updated!
The Main Military Prosecutor's Office will collaborate with the Armed Forces and other military formations to introduce 'Digital Prevention,' a project that integrates technology in the form of modern IT video surveillance systems infused with AI to monitor commanders and conscripts. This digitization will also extend to the processing and remote accessibility of protocols from conscription and medical commission meetings, aiming to increase transparency and ensure fair conscription practices.
