The Border Troops (Tajik: Қӯшунҳои сарҳадӣ, romanized: Qūşunhoi sarhadī), also called the Border Service, is the border guard of Tajikistan. Functioning under the State Committee for National Security as part of the Armed Forces, the border guards are trained by the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, along with the Afghan Border Police.[1] A higher education college is located in the capital, Dushanbe, the Border Troops Academy, and a Border Troops Training Centre is located south of it, in the Rudaki District.[2] The main control station of the border troops is the Border Management Center of the Main Border Guard Directorate of the SCNS.[3]
Outside the border troops, a detachment of the Border Service of the FSB deployed in Tajikistan mostly consists of Tajik conscripts preferring to serve under Russian command.[4]
