SUBJECT:  UGANDA MOVES FORWARD WITH ACOTA PROGRAM FOR SOMALIA-BOUND 
PEACEKEEPERS 
 
1. (SBU) SUMMARY: Senior Ugandan military leaders and African 
Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) Program 
officials met in Kampala from March 29-30 2007, to plan peace 
support operations (PSO) training for Uganda's Somalia-bound 
peacekeepers. The ACOTA team also began laying the foundation for 
Uganda's long-term ACOTA partnership.  Senior Ugandan military 
officials including Lieutenant General Katumba Wamala, Commander 
Land Forces, reaffirmed the Ugandan military's desire for more 
training and commitment to the ACOTA partnership.  He emphasized the 
need for immediate training and limited equipment support for the 
rotation of Uganda's next contingent of peacekeepers to Somalia 
between August and October 2007.  Wamala also asked for immediate 
commencement of ACOTA's train-the-trainer program to support 
Uganda's achievement of full self-sufficiency in PSO training. END 
SUMMARY. 
 
------------------- 
UPDF ACOTA Planning 
------------------- 
 
2. (SBU) On 29 March 2007, a Department of State sponsored ACOTA 
Program team led by Chip Beck, ACOTA Program and Policy Coordinator, 
met in Kampala with Lieutenant General Katumba Wamala, UPDF Land 
Forces Commander, and Brigadier General S.W. Kayemba, UPDF Director 
of Training and Operations, to collaborate on the future of the 
ACOTA program in Uganda.  Wamala requested ACOTA PSO training for 
the next UPDF contingent that would deploy to Somalia, including a 
Battle Group Headquarters (PSO Force Headquarters) and two 
battalions that would serve as maneuver elements for the Battle 
Group.  Wamala noted that the decision about when to deploy the next 
Battle Group to Somalia was not yet definitive, but that it would 
generally be six to eight months after the first group's arrival in 
Mogadishu.  Since the first group was starting its second month in 
Somalia, all parties agreed that ACOTA training and equipment 
support should commence expeditiously.  As a result, several 
decisions were made during the ACOTA-UPDF meeting to accomplish that 
goal. 
 
--------------------------- 
SPECIFIC AGREED UPON POINTS 
--------------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) During this meeting, General Wamala and ACOTA agreed to the 
following: 
 
-- The ACOTA Training Strategy Conference (TSC) will take place 
23-27 April at Jinja, Uganda. 
 
-- The UPDF will provide trainers to receive ACOTA 
"train-the-trainer" PSO training from the beginning of the training, 
despite the heavy troop demands of Somalia.   This would be a major 
step forward for long-term PSO capacity building and sustainment for 
Uganda as an ACOTA partner. 
 
-- ACOTA will commence training of the UPDF Battle Group as early as 
16 May 2007.  The training would begin with simultaneous training 
for the Ugandan instructors and the Force HQ Staff training.  This 
training would be immediately followed by concurrent soldier and 
unit level PSO training for the two Battle Group battalions. 
 
-- The total training time from the commencement of the Force HQ to 
the end of the battalion/HQ field exercise will be 13 weeks.  This 
will allow the Battle Group to receive the full slate of ACOTA 
training in time for deployment, but with enough leeway to allow the 
Force time to conduct all necessary pre-deployment preparations, 
including administration and leave activities. 
 
-- The Training Strategy Conference will also look forward to the 
training and deployment of the third Battle Group six months 
following the deployment of this group, and the eventual training of 
the first Battle Group that was not afforded the ACOTA training 
prior to its initial deployment. 
-- The UPDF would likely rotate its Somalia Battle Groups every six 
months for "morale and effectiveness" according to Lt. Gen. Wamala. 
Thus within one year, ACOTA expects to train the three major Battle 
Groups (Three Force Staffs and six battalions, each including 
artillery batteries, tank companies, engineers, and medical teams). 
 
-- By the time the year-long cycle of training is complete, ACOTA 
anticipates the Uganda instructors would be proficient in ACOTA 
instruction and able to conduct training with minimal U.S. trainer 
presence. 
 
-- ACOTA and the UPDF would immediately commence collaboration on 
tailoring the ACOTA training support equipment package to meet the 
UPDF's unique PSO training needs and then expeditiously commence 
requisitioning and delivering the equipment.

Singo Military Training Area 
 
KAMPALA 00000581  002 OF 002 
 
 
---------------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) On 30 March 2007, the ACOTA team and Deputy Defense Attach 
accompanied Brigadier General Kayemba to the Singo Military Training 
Area approximately 90 kilometers outside Kampala.  While the roads 
approaching Singo were primitive, the training area itself was large 
enough to accommodate the training of two battalions and staff, with 
existing infrastructure fully capable of supporting the ACOTA 
training with minimal improvements.  Kayemba noted that the UPDF 
budget was already paying for the upgrades and new construction that 
the team observed in progress.  Uganda plans to make Singo its 
national Peackeeper Support Operations Training Center and appears 
well on the way to implementing its plan. 
 
------- 
COMMENT 
------- 
 
5. (SBU) The ACOTA team and the UPDF achieved significant progress 
including agreement for immediate ACOTA PSO training of the next 
UPDF Battle Group for deployment to Somalia; laying the framework 
for long-term PSO capacity enhancement in Uganda, including the 
UPDF's immediate commitment to train its own PSO training cadre; and 
determining the adequacy of the UPDF Singo training area for PSO 
training.
