KYRGYZSTAN ARMY  KOPNENA VOJSKA KIRGISTANA

      Kirgistanske kopnene snage, također poznatea i kao Kirgiska vojska, kopnena je grana Oružanih snaga Republike Kirgistan. Mjesecima nakon stjecanja nezavisnoeti, Kirgistan se zalagao za jedinstvenu vojsku ZND-a koja će zamijeniti Sovjetsku vojsku. Ti su se planovi srušili kad je Rusija objavila da neće financirati trupe ZND-a. U travnju 1992. Kirgistan je formirao Državni odbor za obrambena pitanja, a u lipnju je Republika preuzela kontrolu nad svim jedinicama na svom tlu (što znači preostale jedinice bivše Sovjetske vojske). 1994. godine 30 posto ofcira su bili etnički Rusi. 25. 01. 2017. predsjednik Almazbek Atambajev službeno je osnovao Kirgisku vojsku, a pukovnik Erlis Terdikbajev vršio je dužnost prvog zapovjednika.

      The Kyrgyz Ground Forces, also commonly known as the Kyrgyz Army is the infantry branch of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. During the months since independence, Kyrgyzstan advocated for a unified CIS Army which would replace the Soviet army. Those plans collapsed when Russia announced that it would not finance CIS troops. In April 1992, Kyrgyzstan formed a State Committee for Defense Affairs, and in June the Republic took control of all troops on its soil (meaning remaining units of the former Soviet army). In 1994, 30 percent of the officer corps were ethnic Russians. On January 25, 2017, President Almazbek Atambayev officially founded the Kyrgyz Army, with Colonel Erlis Terdikbayev acting as its first commander.
