NEW MOTORIZED RIFLE DIVISION
DZUUNMOD. MONGOLIA (SWN)
1. SIGNIFICANCE: THE FOURTH MONGOLIAN PEOPLE'S ARMY (MPA)

ARMY BKS EAST. (SWN)
2. REMARKS: THIS DIVISION, LOCATED 15 NAUTICAL MILES
SOUTH-SOUTHEAST OF ULAANBAATAR, HAS BEEN FORMED 25X1
DIVISIONAL ASSETS IDENTIFIED INCLUDE: THREE MOTORIZED 25X1
RIFLE REGIMENTS (WITHOUT ARMORED PERSONNEL CARRIERS), A TANK
REGIMENT (T-55 TANK EQUIPPED), AN ARTILLERY REGIMENT (122MM
HOWITZER M-30 EQUIPPED), AN ANTIAIRCRAFT ARTILLERY REGIMENT

ANALYST'S COMMENTS -- THE FORMATION OF THE DZUUNMOD DIVISION
IS PART OF A GENERAL UPGRADE AND EXPANSION OF THE MPA. THE
THIRD MPA MRD WAS IDENTIFIED AT ERDENETIYN MPA BKS (BE
IN APRIL 1982. THE FORMER BRIGADES IN THE 25X1
ULAANBAATAR AND DZUUNBAYAN AREAS WERE UPGRADED TO MRD'S
BETWEEN 1980 AND 1983. THESE MRD'S ARE NOT AS ELABORATELY
EQUIPPED, ESPECIALLY IN THE SUPPORT UNITS, AS SOVIET MANEUVER
DIVISION, BUT THEY DO INDICATE AN INCREASING MONGOLIAN
CAPABILITY. (SWN)
