ABSTRACT: Since 1990, when Mongolia embarked on a path of democracy, the interest of citizens in military service has decreased. At the same time, the number of young people studying at universities has increased, and the number of conscripts has decreased. Since university students are exempted from military service during their studies according to the law, there is no condition for every citizen to fulfill the obligation of “defending the homeland and serving in military service according to the law” as stipulated in the “Constitution of Mongolia”, and therefore there is a need to implement a new program based on social demand. In line with this, it has been 10 years since the “Student Soldier” program was implemented. Therefore, this article aims to describe the results of the implementation the analysis of the “student soldier” special program training in Mongolia.
