Khaan Quest (Mongolian: Хааны эрэлд) is an annual military exercise held in Mongolia for a week in the summer. It brings together over a dozen foreign militaries to engage in the sharing of practices for multinational peacekeeping operations.^[1] In the exercise, personnel gain United Nations peacekeeper training as well as certification for support of peacekeeping operations.^[2] According to Mongolian Armed Forces Chief of Staff Tserendejidiin Byambajav, "Khaan Quest has become one of the signature training events for the participating nations."^[3]

Since its establishment in 2003, it has been held in the Five Hills Training Area. It only became an international exercise in 2006, originally being a joint exercise between the Mongolian Armed Forces and the United States Indo-Pacific Command.^[4][5][6] It is usually opened by an opening ceremony attended by the President of Mongolia.
