The National Defense University (MNDU) is an accredited Mongolian military university located in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. On March 24, 1921, the Provisional People’s Government and the Central Committee of the Party held a joint meeting to address military organization issues. During this meeting, they adopted a resolution stating: “...a military school should be established to train intelligent Mongolian soldiers, educate them in military studies, and prepare them to become commanding officers.” This resolution marked the official decision to establish the first military school, and on October 15, 1921, the school commenced its first classes.The NDU prepares officers and NCOs alike to have grounded leadership skills, physical and moral strength and a high military and civilian education.

History

It was established initially as the Commanders School of the Mongolian People's Army in September 1921 at the initiative of Damdin Sükhbaatar, who was a founding member of the Mongolian People's Party (MPP). The first leaders of the school was Soviet expert P. Mhalpinein and director L. Dzuzav, the Mongolian director. The NDU has since operated under the follow names:

  • Commanders School of the Mongolian People's Army (September 1921 – September 1923)
  • All-Arms General Military School (September 1923 – May 1932)
  • General Military Higher School (May 1932 – June 1967)
  • Combined Military Higher School (1967–1991)
  • Military University (1990–1999)
  • Defense University of Mongolia (1999–2017)
  • National Defense University (since 2017)

In 1994, the NDU maintained a border protection faculty, which would later be expanded to establish the Border Troops Institute and what would later become the Law Enforcement University of Mongolia. Since 1998, the NDU's international relations have been intensified, with some cadets at the university studying and/or training at military educational institutions such as the Military University of the Russian Defense Ministry, the United States Army War College, and the Turkish Military Academy.
