President Yoweri Museveni on Friday passed out 171 UPDF soldiers who concluded their six months training in counter terrorism warriors course at the School of Military Intelligence (SOMI) in Nakasongola district.

The UPDF spokesperson Lt Col Flavia Byekwaso says the officers were trained in buildup areas in the air, under very strenuous circumstances using both small arms and heavy weapons at short and long distances.

Speaking at the pass out of the graduates, the president said that the training prepares officers for the best at a time when there are many terror threats on the African continent.

“It’s a good beginning for you, don’t lose this chance. One element about fighting is to be sure of yourself. When you are confident of yourself, you can handle any combat situation. I congratulate you upon completing this very difficult course,” Museveni said.

The Chief of Defence Forces Gen Wilson Mbasu Mbadi, congratulated the graduands upon fulfilling their mission course of counter terrorism and thanked President Museveni for the wonderful and strong efforts in boosting and strengthening the Defence capabilities through professionalising both physical and mental combat operations.
