Republic of Kazakhstan

The Republic of Kazakhstan is a country in Central Asia and Europe. The world's largest landlocked country, it has a territory of 2,727,300 km2 (greater than Western Europe). It is bordered by Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and China. The country also borders on a significant part of the Caspian Sea.

Vast in size, the land in Kazakhstan is very diverse in types of terrain: flatlands, steppes, taigas, rock-canyons, hills, deltas, mountains, snow-capped mountains and deserts.

Kazakhstan sent 29 military engineers to Iraq under Polish command as part of the Coalition of the Willing. These engineers were sent to assist the US occupation in Iraq in order to provide a show of support to the West, while maintaining a cost-effective force.
