The 3BHA is made up of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Arakan Army (AA), and the Ta'ang National Liberation Army (TNLA)..Shan is a territory in Myanmar that borders nations such as China, Laos, and Thailand..The agreement recognizes the MNDAA as a legitimate government in the northern territory, also establishing a 70-30 taxation system from border crossings at Chinshwehaw between the alliance and the Junta.
