Uganda’s participants in the upcoming 13th Field Training Exercise, “Ushirikiano Imara,” have been urged to demonstrate the country’s capabilities in peacekeeping missions fully.

The participants are currently undergoing an induction exercise at the Non-Commissioned Officers Academy in Gaddafi Barracks, Jinja.

The 13th East African Field Training Exercise, scheduled to take place in Rwanda in June, aims to practice and perfect the United Nations Chapter VIII’s enhancement of the constitutional basis for the involvement of regional arrangements in the maintenance of international peace and security as a robust mechanism for resolving local disputes.

The Director of Training and Doctrine, Land Force, Brigadier General Fred Twinamasiko, who will lead Uganda’s contingent, advised the participants to integrate the different components, comprising military, police, and civilians, and be prepared to embrace the multidimensional international nature of the work. “Use your expertise but also be flexible and learn new things from the forces of the partner countries to deepen and widen cooperation as the East African Community,” said Brig Gen Twinamasiko today during the opening of the induction exercise in Jinja.

On behalf of the Police component, Commissioner of Police Nkore Paul urged the participants to exhibit excellence and resilience during the exercise and encouraged them to consider it a valuable learning opportunity to help prevent future conflicts.

The participants will practice countering terrorism, disaster management, peace support operations, and counter-piracy.
