The Internal Military Organization of Mongolia (Mongolian: Монгол Улсын Дотоодын цэргийн байгууллага) is the paramilitary gendarmerie which performs special guard and reserve duties in the Mongolian Armed Forces. They protect buildings for institutions and areas such as the Mongolian National Broadcaster and Altan-Ölgii National Cemetery.
It is led by a chief of staff who reports directly to the Minister of Justice and Internal Affairs.[1]
History
[edit]It is the successor to the Internal Troops of the Mongolian People's Army (officially known as the Border and Internal Troops Administration). During the Cold War, they were responsible for border patrol, guard duties, and immigration control. By the end of the 1980s, it numbered around 15,000 troops.[2] The Internal Troops were originally formed in 1922 by the Military Council with over ten units, serving under the name of Special Unit for Internal Security Affairs.[3]
The Internal Troops in their current form were adopted in 1995, serving for 18 years until their governing law was repealed on 16 March 2013 by the State Great Khural with the backing of the Altankhuyag government. After its repeal, its functions were transferred to the National Police Agency and the border guard by 1 April 2014.[4] After a thorough look into the matter and a landslide victory of the MPP in the 2016 parliamentary election, the recreation of the Internal Military was reconsidered.[5]
In February 2017, the parliament formally passed a law to recreate the Internal Troops.[6][7]
