NATO supports Mongolia in transforming defense education system. Mongolia recently marked the successful achievement of goals set under its Defense Education Enhancement Program (DEEP) with NATO. Through DEEP, Mongolia has completed an ambitious multi-year plan for the modernization of its professional military education system. Since 2013, the National Defense University of Mongolia (MNDU) has implemented a new core curriculum for staff officers, reviewed instructors’ teaching methods and placed greater emphasis on English and other foreign language teaching. With NATO’s support over the last four years, experts from Germany, Canada, Slovakia, Ukraine and the United States, worked with their Mongolian colleagues to develop a state-of-the-art Mongolian Staff Officer Course (MSOC) and to implement modern teaching methodologies in the University’s curricula. Launched in 2015, the MSOC has become a prerequisite for advancement as an officer in the Mongolian Armed Forces. Mongolia will continue to engage with NATO, in the sustainment phase of this program and has already offered experts to contribute to new DEEP efforts in other partner countries. In addition, Mongolia is taking steps to build upon the results of this program in the defense education system.
