History

The SURA had multiple factions, such as the "Tai Revolutionary Council" led by Moh Heng, a group which would merge in 1985 with Khun Sa's Shan United Army in order to create the Mong Tai Army with its base of operations in Homong. 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.
