The work of the Salvation Army commenced in Burma in 1915 under the administration of India. Thirteen years later it became a separate command. Despite restrictions on the entry of officers and lay workers from overseas, Myanmar Salvationists have continued to develop their witness and service in the nation, particularly in Upper Myanmar (Mizo-speaking). In 1994, the Myanmar Region became part of the Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar Territory. The Region comes under the direction of a Regional Officer. There are four districts under the leadership of District Officers. Two Burmese districts are in Lower Myanmar, with headquarters in Yangon and Mandalay and two Mizo districts are located in Upper Myanmar with headquarters in Kalaymyo and Khampat. There is a School for Officer Training in Yangon which has facilities for training up to 14 future officers of the Salvation Army.
