In order to adapt to the development, the Inner Mongolia Military Region combined with the border areas and compiled an 8-person reconnaissance class in 2022. According to airdrop, search and rescue, reconnaissance and other tasks, three types of drones are equipped: large, medium and small. Jian Xiao, director of the War Readiness Construction Bureau of Inner Mongolia Military Region, said that in recent years, the nine militia cavalry companies compiled by the military region have been honed by task practice, and their abilities and qualities have been continuously improved, and they have increasingly developed into an important force of grassland militia.

The terrain along the 8,000-mile border in Inner Mongolia is complex, with vast desert Gobi in the west, hilly mountains in the middle and vast forests and snowfields in the east. In areas with complex terrain such as barren beaches, wetlands and virgin forests, roads are impassable and modern patrol equipment cannot give full play to its advantages.

Since 2020, the military region has compiled and built seven militia cavalry companies in mountainous hills, forests and grasslands of Bayannaoer City, Wulanchabu City and Xilin Gol League on the basis of the militia Baima Company and Heima Company in Xiwuzhumuqin Banner and Abaga Banner. According to the principle of combining convenience with personnel and equipment to make up for the deficiency of modern duty equipment.

In terms of training, cavalry units in different regions carry out targeted training according to their tasks. Even the backbone of the militia cavalry in Wulate Zhongqi is a retired soldier, who once served in the cavalry, with excellent military quality and professional skills.

The Bayannaoer Military Division organized them to carry out cavalry training in difficult subjects such as riding, chopping, immediate handstand and hiding stirrups. Cooperate with the team tacitly and improve the task ability.
