Deuane continued to serve in the Lao military after the French defeat, becoming a company commander in "Bataillion Parachutistes 2" (Parachute Battalion 2) under Captain Kong Le. When Kong Le revolted against what he perceived as a corrupt government in August 1960, Deuane sat out the coup. However, afterward he attached himself to Kong Le as the captain tried to rally the nation to the side of the coup forces.
