\u201cWe had removed the fifth division for training and they took advantage of that. But now we have brought it back. It will help make the rustlers lose appetite for the gun. I am very happy to come here in Labwordong. I was here sometime ago . I thank you for remembering to turn this place into training wing. I am also happy that the leaders here and elders gave land to the army to train. We shall compensate you for the land don\u2019t worry. We need to use the land for training. The training security wing here; it\u2019s good for the army and it\u2019s also good for security,\u201d President Museveni stated .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOne you have got a big number of people here, those who disturb security will not come. We need a guard force to contribute to security of this area. It will also contribute to the economy of the area. These
people are here, government buys food for them, they get salary and go to shop for other essentials here. The community benefits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Museveni commended the army leadership for putting the training school here and pledged to support the facility in the construction of new classrooms, instructors\u2019 houses and improving the shooting range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Labwordong Training School Commandant Lt. Col. George Stephen Eyoku, the 2657 trainees including 516 females were voluntarily mobilized by the national recruitment team of the UPDF in October 2021 for 24 weeks. “Our objective is to train young energetic Ugandans with values, norms and ideological orientation of the national army. The development of character mentally and physically is key. They are trained to serve their country diligently. The army wants a fit you rather than a sick you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Deputy Chief of Defence Forces Lt Gen Peter Elwelu commended the training school instructors for a job well done and welcomed the trainees to the UPDF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou are welcome to the UPDF family. Here the army is not a job, it\u2019s about service to our people. It is important to look at it from that angle otherwise you will be disappointed. If you are to stay in the UPDF, do your work and do it well. It is not about pay but service,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
