General Intelligence Agency of Mongolia
The General Intelligence Agency or General Intelligence Directorate (GIA; Mongolian: ТЕГ, Тагнуулын ерөнхий газар, romanized: Tagnuulyn yurönkhii gazar) is the intelligence agency of the Government of Mongolia, under the direct control of the Prime Minister of Mongolia. Its headquarters is in the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar. The GIA employs several hundred people and acts as an early warning system to alert the Mongolian government of national security threats. It collects and evaluates information on a variety of areas such as international terrorism, organized crime, weapons and drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal migration, and information warfare.
Founded in 1922 with Soviet assistance, Mongolian intelligence performed well against both Imperial Japanese and Republican Chinese services during the 1930s and 1940s, while providing assistance to Soviet forces and Mao Zedong's Chinese Communists. Later, after the Sino-Soviet split and the Cultural revolution in the 1960s and 1970s, Mongolian intelligence confronted Mao's intelligence agencies in close collaboration with the Soviet KGB.
The General Intelligence Agency began as the Directorate of Internal Security (Mongolian: Дотоодыг хамгаалах газар, romanized: Dotoodyg khamgaalakh gazar), which was established on 3 July 1922 under the leadership of director Dashin Baldandorzh with 14 employees for counterintelligence operations. Despite the name "Internal Security", a "Foreign Department" was established within the Directorate in 1926, that sent agents to both China and Japan to gather intelligence, under Soviet tutelage.
In 1933, it was reorganized as the General Directorate of Internal Security, and in 1936 as the General Directorate of State Security under the Ministry of the Interior, later the Ministry of Public Security of the Mongolian People's Republic (Mongolian: БНМАУ-ын Нийгмийг аюулаас хамгаалах яам). The Ministry of Public Security was a catalyst for the republic's paramilitary forces, which totaled around 30,000 men by 1955. The GIA was founded as a successor to the State Security Directorate after the abolition of the socialist state in 1992.
