The Ramanya Joint Column, also known as the Ramanya Joint Task Force,[1] is a joint military force active in southern Myanmar. Its establishment was announced on 19 January, 2025, by several Mon resistance organisations fighting against the military junta of Myanmar. The column contains the Mon National Liberation Army-AD, Mon Liberation Army,[a] Mon State Revolutionary Force, and the Mon State Defense Force. The groups first agreed to unify during a meeting on 19 December, 2024; using the column to test whether such unification was feasible. The purpose of the force is to encourage unify the disconnected resistance groups fighting in Mon State.[2] In the column, each Mon group contributes 25 soldiers, having 100 soldiers in total. The Mon groups also contribute 2 representatives each to the commanding committee, with an NMSP-AD representative being the senior-most officer.[3]
