[5] It was unveiled by the President Islam Karimov as a replacement for a Soviet Army that was taken down the previous year.

The reasoning behind this move was that the Soviet monument "did not represent the values and the current state of the Uzbek army".

The main activity of the museum is to educate young people and servicemen in the spirit of military patriotism and devotion to the motherland.

The park is lined with World War II-era and modern combat equipment (MIG21, Katyusha JM13, tanks, cannons, howitzers).

The second floor is dedicated to the contribution of the people of the Uzbek SSR in the Great Patriotic War.
