Formerly part of the PDF as Tamu Battalion 3, the NLA split off on March 5, 2023 to form their own resistance organization.[3] [1] On March 24th, the NLA launched Operation Coucal where they performed an early morning raid on a Myanmar Police Force station in Bokkan village. Shotguns, BA-94 Uzis, BA-63 battle rifles, AK-47 assault rifles, ammunition, knives, bayonets, explosives, and police equipment were seized.[2]
