The Chief of the General Staff is appointed by the President of Kyrgyzstan, who is the supreme commander-in-chief of the armed forces.[1] The current Chief of the General Staff is Major General Erlis Terdikbayev.[2] From 2014-2021, the Chief of the General Staff was the paramount leader of the armed forces, just second to the commander in chief.

The headquarters of the General Staff is located on 26 Yakov Logvinenko Street, in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.[3]

General information

The Chief of the General Staff is appointed directly by the President of Kyrgyzstan, who is also commander in chief of the country's military. He/she holds the rank of Major general (Генерал майор). The general staff is the chief organizing and executive body in the armed force responsible for maintaining its combat readiness. From 2014-2021, it was higher in precedence to the State Committee for Defense Affairs, which was the equivalent to Kyrgyzstan's defense ministry. In February 2014, the General Staff was expanded to have complete control and authority over the entire military, with the state defense committee playing a smaller, sometimes ceremonial role.[4] This was reverted in February 2021, with the General Staff presently serving as an administrative position under the Ministry of Defense.[5]
