Mongolian military Day (Mongolian : Монгол цэргийн өдөр ) is a public celebration day in Mongolia is celebrated on 18 March annually. Being the official holiday of the Mongolian Armed Forces , it is the equivalent of Defender of the Fatherland Day in Russia and/or the male version of International Women's Day .[1] [2] [3] [4]
Background
[ edit ]
In March 1921, during the early stages of the Mongolian Revolution of 1921 , a Mongolian guerrilla army led by Damdin Sükhbaatar as Supreme Commander launched an offensive at the Chinese garrison at Kyakhta Maimaicheng (Altanbulag, Selenge ). The offensive followed a failed attempt by the Mongolian People's Party central committee to reach an ultimatum with Chinese troops. Despite Sükhbaatar's 400-man army being heavily outnumbered by the Chinese, he led his troops to victory in taking the town.[5] Mongolian People's Army .
Celebrations
[ edit ]
The holiday is celebrated in many different ways as it is both a civilian and military holiday. The military side usually conducts promotion and award ceremonies. The Chief of General Staff usually takes part in a wreath laying ceremony on Sükhbaatar Square .[6] President of Mongolia in his/her position as commander-in-chief usually sends greetings on the holiday, often visiting the country's National Defense University .[7] Military tattoos are held in the capital of Ulaanbaatar as well as gala concerts .[8]
The 100th anniversary of the armed forces was celebrated in 2021.[9] [10]
