This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations of studying public order maintenance within military history. It analyzes the concepts of “public order” and “public safety,” their interpretation in legal and historical scholarship, and their significance for national security. The study also considers Uzbekistan’s measures to preserve and promote national military heritage, develop military-historical research, and strengthen international cooperation. Particular attention is given to archival research, specialist training, and the application of modern digital technologies. Based on the identified challenges, relevant recommendations for further developing military-historical research are proposed.
