| == Revolutionary movement ==
| |
| Choibalsan joined a revolutionary group located in the consular quarter of Örgöö (now Ulaanbaatar) that included the teacher [[Dogsomyn Bodoo]], the lama [[Darijavyn Losol]], and some low-ranking officials. He first met [[Damdin Sükhbaatar|Sükhbaatar]] in the fall of 1919, and his group merged with Sükhbaatar's group in June 1920 to form the MPRP. Three days later, he set off to Russia with [[Soliin Danzan]] to get support from the [[Communist Party of the Soviet Union|Bolsheviks]]. On July 22, his group met Sükhbaatar and other party members in Verkheudinsk (now Ulaan-Üde) and then went to Irkutsk. He stayed in Irkutsk with Sükhbaatar while other party members visited [[Moscow]] or returned to Örgöö early.<ref name=":03" /><sup>:278–82</sup>

The First Party Congress on 1921 March 1 appointed Choibalsan as commissar of the newly formed [[Mongolian People's Army|Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army]] under commander-in-chief Sükhbaatar.<ref name=":03" /><sup>:289–90</sup>
