PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has promoted the commander of Singo Army Training School, James Ssebaggala, from colonel to brigadier, for exemplary performance.
Ssebaggala joined the bracket of generals on Friday during a ceremony in Luweero district, where Museveni passed out 1,455 soldiers who completed a nine-month basic military training course. Most of them are university graduates.
Chief of Defence Forces Gen. Aronda Nyakairima said, “The Commander-in-Chief was happy because Ssebaggala did exactly what he has often told training officers to teach about tactics, skills and techniques.â€
Museveni has also promoted 50 UPDF officers in northern Uganda and southern Sudan in recognition of their exemplary performance and efforts in fighting LRA rebels.
The promotions come a few weeks after Museveni promoted several top army officers to the ranks of generals.
In a statement yesterday, northern army spok-esman Lt. Chris Magezi said Museveni promoted 15 officers from the rank of captain to major and 34 lieutenants to captain.
