The Shan United Revolutionary Army (Burmese: ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်တပ်ပေါင်းစုတော်လှန်ရေးတပ်မတော်; abbreviatedSURA) or Tai Revolutionary Council (TRC) was a Shaninsurgent group in Myanmar (Burma), led by Moh Heng.[2]
The SURA however took anti-communist position due to its close links with the KMT. In 1984, it merged with the anti-communist 2nd Brigade of the Shan State Army to form the Tai Revolutionary Council (TRC) when the 2nd Brigade headquarters was overrun by Khun Sa's Shan United Army (SUA).[4]
In early 1985 its headquarters at Piang Luang came under pressure from the SUA as the latter sought to consolidate control over the border area.[5] The TRC then ended its relationship the KMT, and allied itself with the SUA, to create the Mong Tai Army with its base of operations in Homong.[6][7] In 1996 most of its soldiers disarmed, but a group of 800 soldiers were integrated into the newly formed Shan State Army - South by Yawd Serk.[citation needed]
