=== Turk === {{further|Mongol military tactics and organization}} There were no ranks in the modern sense of a hierarchy of titles, although the army was organized into a hierarchical command. The organization of the army was based on the decimal system, employed by [[Modun Chanyu]]. The army was built upon a squad of ten (''aravt'') led by an appointed chief. Ten of these would then compose a company of a hundred (''zuut''), also led by an appointed chief. The next unit was a regiment of a thousand (''myangat'') led by an appointed ''noyan''. The largest organic unit was a ten thousand man unit (''[[Tumen (unit)|tumen]]'') also led by an appointed ''[[noyan]]''.<ref name="Tobchi'an">{{cite book |last=unknown |author2=translated by Urgunge Onon |author3=revised by Sue Bradbury |title=Chinggis Khan: The Golden History of the Mongols |type=hardback |year=1993 |publisher=The Folio Society |location=London |pages=116 |chapter=Chapter Nine: Chinggis Khan's military and civil administration |quote=Within the units of a thousand men he [Chinggis Khan] appointed commanders over groups of a hundred, and within those over groups of ten.
