Armed Forces of Tajikistan
Also present in Tajikistan was a large contingent of Soviet border guards, which transitioned into a Russian-officered force with Tajik conscripts.[8] Russian military advisors formed a committee in the Ministry of Defense that year that established a system of operational training throughout the armed forces.[12] In September 2013, the Russian government has given the Tajik military $200 million worth of weapons and hardware, in return for letting them continue to use the 201st base.[13] The Kyrgyz Prosecutor General's Office on 30 April accused the Tajik Armed Forces of invading the country and seizing their sovereign territory.[14] In July, the Tajik military held its largest training exercise in response to the Taliban offensive coming near their borders.[17] The main body of operational command and control of troops is the General Staff, which is responsible for developing mobilization plans and proposals on the military doctrine of the Republic.[18] Russia provided much support toward the creation of the national army, and trained command and engineer personnel.[27] The National Army has five Territorial Defense Zones (Tajik: минтақаи мурофиавии ҳудудии), divided among the Regions of Tajikistan and Dushanbe: They are led by their elected governors.Tajikistan is also patrolled by Russian aircraft as part of the Joint CIS Air Defense System.The base is commanded jointly by Indian, Tajik, and Russian personnel, who rotate units there periodically.An accident occurred on 6 October 2010 when a Mi-8, military helicopter from the Tajik National Guard crashed in the Rasht Valley[33] close to Ezgand and Tavildara.Similar to the Russian Airborne Troops, whom they perform training with, the Mobile Forces were created with no increase in military personnel by transferring a unit of the National Army.The Tajik National Guard is a special task force under direct command of the President of Tajikistan.[37] The Internal Troops, whose constituting document was passed on 28 December 1993, are tasked with state security, operating under the Interior Ministry.Russia claims to be sending additional tanks and armored vehicles by the end of 2021 after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan to bolster its forces in Tajikistan.[43] Another country with a military presence in Tajikistan is France, which formerly the Operational Transport Group of the French Air Force.[44] France used the space free of charge as a result of a bilateral cooperation agreement signed by Presidents Rahmon and Nicolas Sarkozy.[48] In 2003, Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf raised concerns to the Tajik government over the fact that Indian planes coming from the base would be able reach the border with Pakistan within minutes.
