The UPDF is an army that has evolved from a liberation force into a professional army grounded in strategy, ideology, and patriotism. At every stage, pan-Africanism has been our guiding principle, shaping our purpose, training, and regional responsibilities. We are not just building an army for Uganda but creating a force for Africa’s liberation, stability, and unity. Pan-Africanism is not merely theoretical. It is the reason we started and remains the reason we serve.
