Soviet troops were stationed in Mongolia during the Russian Civil War, the interwar period and the Cold War. The Russian Armed Forces withdrew from Mongolia in late 1992.

For the first time, Soviet troops were introduced into Mongolia in 1921 during the period of Civil War in Russia and Mongolian Revolution in order to attack the anti-communist White Movement, which had a foothold in Mongolia. In March 1925, the Soviet Union withdrew troops from the MPR.

Later, troops were brought in in 1932 to suppress the Khusugul uprising, in 1937, which was due to the need to repel Japanese aggression against the allied Mongolian state and in 1967 to carry out tasks to defend the country from a potential military threat from China. The troops of the USSR stationed on the territory of Mongolia, in contrast to the deployment in other allied countries, did not form a separate "Group of forces", "grouping" or "contingent", but were directly subordinate to the MOD/Soviet General Staff or the Transbaikal Military District.
