Indian Army is participating in the 21st multinational military exercise Khan Quest, held in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia from July 27 to August 9, 2024.
Khan Quest began in 2003 as a bilateral exercise between the U.S. and Mongolian armed forces, becoming a multinational exercise from 2008 onwards.
The Indian contingent includes 40 personnel, primarily from the Madras Battalion, including three women soldiers (one officer and two soldiers).
India and Mongolia share strong defense relations, exemplified by regular joint military exercises like Nomadic Elephant, with the 16th edition held in July 2024 in Meghalaya, India.
