Mongolia Awards of the Ministry of Defence

More post-socialist ministerial awards.

On the website of the Mongolian General Staff I found this photo of a Mongolian MG with his Turkish colleague. Have a look at the last row of his ribbon bars. They are strikingly similar to those of the Soviet long service medals and may serve the same purpose. They are also similar to the colors of the badges posted by Ed.

I cannot recognize the third ribbon in the upper row, next to that of the Combat Merit Medal. If it is the Order of the Polar Star, the precedence would be incorrect.

A closer look.
