This article examines the social organization and its functions at the intermediate-level of a banner society of Khalkha Mongols during the Qing times. In the author's terminology, the "intermediate-level" means a level between a banner office and families at which social relations were adjusted. Although in recent years researchers have clarified the social structure of the Mongol banners in the Qing era, they have scarcely demonstrated how their organization worked. This paper aims to elucidate such a problem through examining how people dealt with the cases of "separation" in the Middle Front Banner of Setsen Khan Ayimag during the latter half of the Qing period. "Separation" is equivalent to the Mongolian word "saljiyud", which means the state where nomadic pastoralists dwell apart from groups. The examination showed that the cases of "separation" were handled by the organizations called "sumu" and "otog" at the intermediate-level of the banner society. In other words, the authorities administered its banner through these organizations, and the tayiji managed their own arad through the otog. This proves that management by tayiji and administration under the Qing dynasty were incorporated into a single system and functioned in the banner society of Mongols.
