Tatmadaw (Myanmar Armed Forces)

The Tatmadaw is the military of Myanmar, responsible for the country's defense and security. It was established in 1945 and has played a significant role in Myanmar's politics, particularly after the military coup in 1962. The Tatmadaw has been involved in various internal conflicts and has been criticized for human rights abuses against civilians. Despite its military prowess, its governance has led to economic challenges and international sanctions. The organization operates independently from the civilian government and has a complex history intertwined with Myanmar's struggle for democracy and ethnic tensions.
