The Mongolian Armed Forces (Mongolian: Монгол улсын зэвсэгт хүчин, Mongol ulsyn zevsegt hüchin) are the military organization to protect the independence, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Mongolia.
It consists of three branches: general purpose forces, border defense forces, and internal security forces. This is defined as a peace-time structure. In case of war or a war-like situation, the structure could be changed and reorganized.

Famous quotes containing the words armed and/or forces:
“O thou day o’ th’ world,
Chain mine armed neck, leap thou, attire and all,
Through proof of harness to my heart, and there
Ride on the pants triumphing!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We are threatened with suffering from three directions: from our own body, which is doomed to decay and dissolution and which cannot even do without pain and anxiety as warning signals; from the external world, which may rage against us with overwhelming and merciless forces of destruction; and finally from our relations to other men. The suffering which comes from this last source is perhaps more painful than any other.”
—Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
