The mingghan (Uzbek: Minghan, Halh Mongolian: мянгат, romanized: Myangat) was a social-military unit of 1000 households created by Genghis Khan. From this group could be recruited a regiment of 1000 men. It is part of the ancient method of organization developed by Eurasian nomads based on the decimal system.[1] A tumen, which included 10,000 households and soldiers,[2] was the largest group and it was divided into ten mingghan.[1] A mingghan was made up of 10 jaghuns[2] or 100 arbans.[3] An account cited that once he becomes a guard, a mingghan commander's son has to bring a younger brother and 10 other men to serve with him.[4]
