		Militaries in many larger countries are divided into an army, an air force, and a navy (if necessary).
		The investment in military forces and their associated technologies can result in many ancillary benefits to the society as a whole.
		These military investments are increased during a war or other conflict, and in a virtuous cycle can accelerate the technological development of the society as a whole.

	West's Uzbekistan dilemma - Military Photos
		At the heart of the dilemma is Uzbekistan's strategic importance in the region, Dr Roy Allison, a specialist in Central Asia at the London School of Economics, says.
		As well as having key energy resources that could lessen Europe's dependence on Russia, Uzbekistan is also an important base for the war in neighbouring Afghanistan and for keeping good relations with the rest of Central Asia.
		Uzbekistan has a well-documented record of torture and ill-treatment in police custody and prisons.

		On 13 September the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Uzbekistan made a statement to remind that it was Uzbekistan that had been the first among the UN member countries to put forward the initiative of setting up an International Anti-Terrorist Center, which, unfortunately, had not been further developed.
		On the contrary, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan which one year ago were loyal to the Taleban, are now almost ready to provide their territory and airspace for retaliation strikes against Afghanistan.
		Whereas Uzbekistan, seeking to protect itself from both the future threat from the South and Russia trying to assert itself in the region, has also found itself in the ambiguous situation.

		Increased military operations in Central Asia in the wake of the September 11, 2001, attacks, and Uzbekistan’s repression of suspected Islamic extremists, has diminished the strength of radical Islamic groups that had posed a significant threat to the region’s stability; tfhe human rights community has criticized the government for detaining many suspects without cause.
		Uzbekistan was among the poorest of the Soviet republics, but following independence did not experience as drastic an economic downturn as most of the other successor states, due to its postponement of macroeconomic and structural reforms.
		Uzbekistan is the world’s second-largest cotton exporter as well as a major exporter of gold and natural gas, but plummeting world cotton and gold prices have had a sizeable impact on the Uzbek economy, which sank into recession in 1999.

	Turkestan Military District
		For example, in 1969 the Turkestan Military District was divided to create the Central Asian Military District and enable the Soviet Union to double its military forces and infrastructure along the border with China.
		The ministry also assumed jurisdiction over the approximately 60,000 Soviet military troops in Uzbekistan, with the exception of those remaining under the designation "strategic forces of the Joint CIS Command." With the subsequent abolition of the Turkestan Military District, Uzbekistan established a Ministry of Defense, replacing the Ministry for Defense Affairs.

	The Indepundit
		Uzbekistan formally evicted the United States yesterday from a military base that has served as a hub for combat and humanitarian missions to Afghanistan since shortly after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Pentagon and State Department officials said yesterday.
		In a highly unusual move, the notice of eviction from Karshi-Khanabad air base, known as K2, was delivered by a courier from the Uzbek Foreign Ministry to the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, said a senior U.S. administration official involved in Central Asia policy.
		Donald Rumsfeld recently won assurances from two of Uzbekistan's neighbors, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, that the U.S. military could continue to operate airbases on their soil in support of operations in Afghanistan.

	Uzbekistan, Pakistan
		Uzbekistan is trying to take advantage of cooperating with the US war on terrorism but its people may not support a pro-US policy, a Kyrgyz newspaper has suggested.
		If subunits commanded by Dostum achieve military successes, American politicians may bet on him as a counterweight to the pro-Iranian and pro-Russian forces of [Masud's successor] Gen [Mohammad Qasim] Fahim, whose predecessor failed to take relations with the West which were opening up to their logical conclusion.
		Thus it is quite possible that under certain circumstances, Uzbekistan could be threatened with the fate of today's Pakistan, where the authorities adhere to a pro-American policy due to the foreign policy situation, while an absolute majority of the population are against it.

		In a region still dominated politically and militarily by Russia, Uzbekistan was the first former Soviet republic to signal its willingness to aid a U.S. military operation against Afghanistan in the days immediately after the terrorist attacks.
		Uzbekistan has long pursued the most independent policy of the five former Soviet republics in Central Asia, courting friendly relations with the United States over Russian objections and withdrawing from a Russian-led regional security treaty.
		Uzbekistan sought to distance itself from Russia, and was an eager participant in the NATO-organized Partnership for Peace military exercises.

		Uzbekistan's own struggle against an indigenous terrorist group - the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) - contributed to a keen awareness of the threat facing the region and the world.

	Uzbekistan: Bush's New Best Friend
		Uzbekistan has granted the U.S. access to its airfields for what it insists are "humanitarian" and "search and rescue" missions, but adamantly denies (in the face of evidence to the contrary) that U.S. troops, including Special Operations Forces, are on the ground.
		Now that Uzbekistan is our close ally in the war on terrorism, that figure is likely to increase substantially.
		But, this "marriage" between Uzbekistan and the United States is one more instance of U.S. dependence on allies in the fight for "enduring freedom" that are not free or even democratic.
