Infantry (Conscript / Professional)
Mongolia maintains a mixed conscript-and-volunteer force structure. All men aged 18-25 are subject to one year of mandatory service under the 2010 Law on Military Service. The conscript component provides basic trained manpower; the professional officer and NCO corps provides continuity. Mongolia's ground forces are structured around combined arms brigades drawing on Soviet-era doctrine, with ongoing US-assisted modernisation through the Third Neighbor relationship and annual Khaan Quest exercises. The ground forces are sized for a country of 3.4 million people — well-trained relative to population, but limited in overall mass.
