The Frontier Service, officially called the Committee for State Border Protection of the National Security Service (Uzbek: Milliy xavfsizlik xizmatining Davlat chegaralarini qo'riqlash qo'mitasi) and commonly referred to as the National Border Guard,[1] is a department of the military and National Security Service of Uzbekistan responsible for border security, part of the Security Service since 2005.[2] It has had many disagreements with the Frontier Forces of Kyrgyzstan since 2011.[3]

A small riverine naval force is operated by the Frontier Service on the Amu Darya river, with two Gurza-class gunboats in service as well as other small craft.[4]
