Burmese Army

The Burmese Army, officially known as the Tatmadaw, is Myanmar's military forces responsible for national defense and security. It consists of land, air, and naval branches and has played a significant role in the country's politics and governance. The army has been involved in internal conflicts with ethnic armed groups and has historically wielded considerable influence over civilian governments. While it is tasked with defending the nation, it has also been criticized for human rights abuses and involvement in political power struggles, including coups. The Tatmadaw remains a central and influential institution in Myanmar's socio-political landscape.
