Battle Parade
The Armed Forces of Kazakhstan holds Battle Parades (russian: Боевой парад) every couple of years on 7 May, which is Defender of the Fatherland Day in Kazakhstan.

So far, only two of these kinds of parades have been held; one in 2013 and one 2018. Concept Battle parades include tactical exercises and military demonstrations.

Guard Of Honour
A guard of honour ( GB), also honor guard ( US), also ceremonial guard, is a group of people, usually military in nature, appointed to receive or guard a head of state or other dignitaries, the fallen in war, or to attend at state ceremonials, especially funerals. In military weddings, especially those of commissioned officers, a guard, composed usually of service members of the same branch, form the Saber arch. In principle any military unit could act as a guard of honour. However, in some countries certain units are specially designated to serve as a guard of honour, as well as other public duties.
