"On 14 March 2022, the Myanmar Royal Dragon Army (MRDA), stationed in Yinmabin District of Pale Township in Sagaing Region, officially underwent a restructuring process. As part of this transformation, the MRDA's forces were reorganized into Yinmabin District battalions numbered (3), (4), (5) and (6). This reconfiguration was carried out with a commitment to honor the Chain of Command and the Code of Conduct jointly established by the Ministry of Defence of the National Unity Government and allied Ethnic Revolutionary Organizations. Similar to other People's Defence Force battalions operating under the same command structure, these Yinmabin battalions have received financial support totalling MMK 318,000,000 (EUSD 122,976.48) since May 2022 through to the present date. Prior to their integration into the command structure, the MRDA received roughly EUSD 24,166.67 in support specifically allocated for weapon production. Additionally, donations totalling around EUSD 28,070, including contributions from local sources and the diaspora (including the People's Revolutionary Supply Family), were channelled through the Ministry of Defence. In March 2022, the Ministry extended support to the MRDA by providing approximately EUSD 90,000 for the purpose of procuring weapons. The Ministry also collaborated with allied parties to facilitate the acquisition of these weapons. During the early phases of the revolution, the MRDA was initially supplied with five automatic rifles and ammunition through the Ministry, and 15 grenade launchers with ammunition via No. (1) Military Region. Among the four Yinmabin District battalions under the command, Yinmabin District battalion No. (6) was outfitted with an impressive arsenal, including 93 automatic rifles and seven grenade launchers. As the People's Revolutionary allies work diligently to establish a well-defined and resolute command structure aimed at securing victory in the defensive war, Yinmabin District battalions No. (3), (4), (5) and (6) are committed to maintaining their roles as People's Defence Force battalions. They will steadfastly adhere to the Chain of Command and the Code of Conduct. It is hereby declared that both the Ministry of Defence and No. (1) Military Region will provide all forms of support to these battalions, and that they will remain under their existing command structure..."
