It became a Special Guerrilla Unit led by General Vang Pao.

He became a one of the eight founders of the Neo Hom in 1981, along with Prince Sisouk na Champassak and Vang Pao.

Vang Pao ( Hmong: Vaj Pov ; December 8, 1929 – January 6, 2011 ) was a Lieutenant General in the Royal Lao Army.

Vang Pao was born on December 8, 1929, in a Hmong village named Nonghet, located in Central Xiangkhuang Province, in the northeastern region of Laos, where his father, Neng Chu Vang, was a county leader.

When Vang Pao was taking an entrance examination, the captain who was the proctor realized that Vang Pao knew almost no written French.

Vang Pao insisted that the captain told him the answers, and that the captain did not actually guide his hand on the paper.

Anne Fadiman, author of The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, said that Vang Pao did not express any embarrassment for his cheating.

After WWII, French GCMA authorities recruited Vang Pao as a lieutenant during the First Indochina War to combat the Viet Minh ( archive video by Col. Jean Sassi ).

While in exile, Vang Pao assembled other Lao and Hmong leaders from around the world to create the United Lao National Liberation Front ( ULNF ), also known as Lao National Liberation Movement or simply the Neo Hom, to bring attention to atrocities happening in Laos and to support the political and military resistance to the government of the Lao People's Democratic Republic.

In the mid-1990s, Vang Pao, aided by influential American diplomatic allies and vast numbers of Hmong-Americans, halted forced United Nations-sponsored repatriation back to Laos of thousands of Hmong refugees in Thailand.

In 2001, Vang Pao began to moderate this position, publicly advocating normalization of U. S .- Laotian relations in hope of alleviating the human rights abuses by the Laotian government against the indigenous Hmong people.

On June 4, 2007, following a lengthy federal investigation labeled " Operation Tarnished Eagle ," warrants were issued by U. S. federal courts ordering the arrest of Vang Pao and nine others for allegedly plotting to overthrow the communist government of Laos, in violation of the federal Neutrality Acts.

Following the issuance of the warrants, an estimated 250 federal agents representing numerous U. S. federal law enforcement and other agencies conducted simultaneous raids on homes, offices and other locations throughout central and southern California, arresting Vang Pao and the other nine.

Vang Pao and the other Hmong were also initially denied bail by the California federal court, which cited each of them as a flight risk.

Vang Pao's fellow friends, including Hmong, Mienh, Lao, Vietnamese, and Americans individuals who knew Vang Pao protested the arrest and rallied throughout California, Minnesota, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin.

Throughout Vang Pao's residence in the U. S., the Hmong leader has diplomatically opposed human rights violations by the communist government of Laos against the Hmong.

Several of Vang Pao's high-level U. S. supporters have criticized the California court that issued the arrest warrants, arguing that Vang Pao is a historically important American ally and valued current leader of U. S. and foreign-based Hmong.

On July 12, 2007, under significant pressure from Vang Pao's Hmong and influential American supporters, the California federal court ordered the release of the Hmong leader on a US $ 1. 5 million bond secured by property owned by members of his family.

The U. S. Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ), to disrupt these operations in northern Laos without direct military involvement, responded by training a guerrilla force of some thirty thousand Laotian hill tribesmen, mostly local Hmong tribesmen along with the Mien and Khmu, led by Royal Lao Army General Vang Pao, a Hmong military leader.

The Hmong were joyful to hear this news ; many had participated in numerous protests over several weeks in California and elsewhere, calling for Vang Pao's release from the date of his incarceration until his release under bail nearly a month later.

Vang Pao, who battled diabetes and heart problems, died aged 81 of pneumonia with heart complications on January 6, 2011, at Clovis Community Medical Center His eldest son, Chao Francois Vang, said he had been admitted to the hospital on December 26, 2010, after attending Hmong New Year celebrations in Fresno.

Traditional Hmong funeral services for Vang Pao were scheduled to be held for six days, starting February 4, 2011, at the Fresno Convention Center.

One of the troopers in the relief column marching from Luang Prabang was a young Hmong named Vang Pao.

David Langford cited Vance's " engaging speculation ", but concluded that the protagonist " seems too weak a character for his leading role ", while " the culture and landscape of Pao are grey and ill-defined, in strong contrast to the exotically colourful societies and ecologies which became Vance's trademark ".
