August 18 is Border Guard Day in Kazakhstan. This professional holiday was established by a presidential decree in 1992, but the date of the holiday was included to the calendar of professional holidays only in 2002.The present day Border Guard Service of Kazakhstan appeared only after collapse of the Soviet Union. New units were formed from the existing troops that were allocated in the territory of independent Kazakhstan.
The Border Guard Service of Kazakhstan lacked administrative personnel during the first years of its existence. This was caused by the fact that all Russian officers had left Kazakhstan. However, this problem was solved and all necessary personnel is prepared in the republic.
