Northeastern Regional Military Command (Myanmar)

The Northeastern Regional Military Command (Burmese: အရှေ့မြောက်တိုင်းစစ်ဌာနချုပ်); short form: Ya Ma Kha (Burmese: ရမခ) is a military headquarters based in Lashio, Shan State (Northern).

[2] On August 3, 2024, the Northeast Regional Military Command was completely taken over by the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) and allied militia groups.

In 1949, the former Northern Regional Military Headquarters, based in May City, was attacked and seized by the Karen National Defense Organization (KNDO), marking the first military headquarters in Myanmar to fall after 75 years.

[4][5] In the 1970s, due to the intensified activities of the Burma Communist Party in northern Shan State, the Strategic Operations Command was opened in Lashio in June 1970.

To better confront the increasingly powerful movements of the Burma Communist Party, on July 27, 1972, northern Shan State was separated from the control of the Rakhine Military Command and the Northeast Regional Military Command was established in Lashio.
