The Marines will be in Mongolia until August 20 as they train with 800 troops from 19 mostly Asian nations. 

Begun in 2003, Exercise Khaan Quest is jointly hosted by the Mongolian Armed Forces and the U.S. Pacific Command. 

Mongolian President Nambaryn Enkhbayar spoke at the opening ceremonies on August 1.

A second part of the exercise involves conducting United Nations Peace Support Operations techniques, tactics and procedures. Participants include South Korea, Bangladesh, Tonga, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Cambodia.
