It has been decided that 80 percent of the UN reimbursement for troop contributions to peacekeeping operations will be allocated as mission allowance to the personnel of the Armed Forces contingent, and the remaining 20 percent will be channeled to the Armed Forces Development Fund.
The United Nations reimburses the Government for compensation provided to service members who have served in peacekeeping operations, calculated individually for each member of the respective military contingent. However, in the case of Mongolia, the mission allowance granted to the personnel of the military contingent serving in UN peacekeeping operations has been provided through the Government’s decision. At the Government meeting on October 23, 2025, the Government’s resolution stipulates that 80 percent will be allocated to the peacekeepers and 20 percent will be channeled to the Armed Forces Development Fund. Previously, in 2006, the distribution was 60 percent to peacekeepers and 40 percent to the Armed Forces Development Fund. Furthermore, Resolution No. 270 amended this to a 70:30 split in 2011.
Member of Parliament and Minister of Defense Batlut Damba stated, “A decision has been made to change the mission allowance for personnel participating in UN peacekeeping operations. Since 2002, in duplicate count, approximately 23,000 service members have served in UN peacekeeping operations over a period of 23 years. At the Government meeting on October 23, 2025, it was resolved that 80 percent of the allowance will be given to the personnel who performed the duty, and 20 percent will be allocated to the Armed Forces Development Fund. This marks a significant improvement in the social welfare of the service members participating in peacekeeping operations. The key feature of this decision is that service members who have completed a full year of duty in distant lands will now be provided with an additional MNT 6.0 million in mission allowance.
Currently, a motorized rifle battalion comprising 850 personnel is honorably executing its duty in the Republic of South Sudan, while a medical team with four service members is doing the same in the Republic of Lebanon.
