The 3 Division Commander of the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces, Major General Don William Nabasa has urged troops to embrace intensive training in order to enhance operation efficiency and effectiveness so as to pacify Karamoja and foster socio-economic transformation of the sub-region.

 Maj Gen Nabasa made the remarks while officiating at the pass out of 336 soldiers who completed a three and half months’ refresher training in combat readiness and effectiveness intake 02/2023 at Kolinyang, Napak District.

 Maj Gen Nabasa noted that UPDF being the vanguard of creating security and peace, the forces must perform their constitutional obligation for total normalcy to return to enable the people to adapt to other economic ventures rather than inter-community cattle rustling.

 On his part, Col James Barigye Rukundo, 3 Division Operation and Training Officer said that the training scope was rich in skills, making troops more oriented and acclimatized to the disarmament operational environment.
