After the overthrow of the regime of Saddam Hussein in April 2003, the international community took measures to normalize the situation in Iraq. To achieve this goal, four stabilization zones were created. The South-Central Multinational Division, led by the command of the Polish military contingent in Iraq, took control of the south-central zone. The Center-South Multinational Division consisted of troops from 23 states, among them 2,500 Polish soldiers and the engineer-sapper unit of the Kazakhstan peacekeeping battalion "KazBat", which was sent to Iraq on September 19, 2003. The Kazakhstan peacekeeping battalion "KazBat" was formed in 2000 by decree of President N. Nazarbayev. The Kazakhstani detachment consisted of an engineering and sapper group, a water supply and supply group. Among the tasks of the engineering group of the “KazBat” were the search, storage and explosion of explosive objects.

At the exhibition, for the first time, more than 30 photographs will be presented to visitors, reflecting the different moments of the soldiers' everyday life of Kazakhstani and Polish soldiers who fought side by side for peace in Iraq.
