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.
