Draft:Outline of the Mongolian People's Army at the end of the Cold War
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Mongolian People's Army (the predecessor of the Mongolian Armed Forces) at the end of the Cold War:
The Mongolian People's Army (Mongolian: Монголын Ардын Арми), also known as the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army (Mongolian: Монгол Ардын Хувьсгалт Цэрэг) or the Mongolian Red Army (Mongolian: Монгол Улаан армийн), was an institution of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party constituting as the armed forces of the Mongolian People's Republic. It was established on 18 March 1921 as a secondary army under Soviet Red Army command during the 1920s and during World War II. In 1992, the army's structure changed and then reorganized and renamed as the Mongolian Armed Forces.
