Myanmar Veterans' Organization

The Myanmar Veterans' Organization is the official organization of veterans who have retired from the Myanmar Armed Forces (Tatmadaw).
History
Veterans who retired from the Tatmadaw after serving in various roles assigned to them since national independence, formed many different local veterans organizations since 1948. Those organizations were officially organized in 1973 and the Constitution of the Veterans' Organization and fundamental rules were adopted in 1975. Necessary amendments to the Constitution and the Fundamental Rules were made in 1976, 1982, and 1986. After the Tatmadaw was compelled to assume the duties of the State in 1988 (8888 Uprising), the State Law and Order Restoration Council (later named the State Peace and Development Council) promulgated the Myanmar Veterans' Law and the Rules Relating to the Law[1] in August 1989 and the Myanmar Veterans' Organization was re-organized. Due to weaknesses in implementing its mission, the State Peace and Development Council reorganized the Central Organizing Committee with 30 members[2] on 21 October 1998. A further reorganization with 42 members was carried out[3] on 15 March 2005. Currently, the Myanmar Veterans' Organization operates under the supervision of Central Organization Committee members and has 19 States and Divisions Veterans' Supervisory Committees. As of March 2007, membership strength is over 170,000 with 89,775 members and 79,519 auxiliary members.
