SUBJECT: UGANDA: ACOTA TRAINING STRATEGY CONFERENCE SHAPES PEACE 
SUPPORT OPERATIONS STRATEGY 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: Ugandan military leaders and planners and African 
Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) Program 
officials and training specialists joined a four-day Training 
Strategy Conference (TSC) in Jinja, Uganda, to develop a strategy 
for near and mid-term Peace Support Operations (PSO) training and 
equipping.  Brigadier General Silver Kayemba, Chief of Training and 
Operations for the Uganda Peoples Defense Forces (UPDF) led a team 
of 30 military planners and ACOTA facilitators to develop the 
strategy.  The program calls for May 2007 commencement of ACOTA PSO 
training for the next UPDF "Battle Group" of 1500 peacekeepers 
slated to deploy to Somalia, as well as expeditious ACOTA equipping 
for each peacekeeper.  The UPDF strategy calls for ACOTA training 
and equipping for future UPDF Somalia-bound battle groups, and 
immediate commencement of ACOTA's "train the trainer" program to 
enable Uganda to achieve full self-sufficiency in PSO training 
within 18 months.  End Summary. 
 
2.  (SBU) Uganda's PSO Training Strategy Conference (TSC).  At the 
UPDF Jinja Command and Staff College during April 24-27, 2007, UPDF 
Brigadier General Kayemba led a team of 25 UPDF military planners 
and five ACOTA training specialists to develop a detailed strategy 
for UPDF PSO training and equipping activities through 2009. 
Department of State ACOTA Program and Policy Coordinator Chip Beck 
joined General Kayemba in opening and setting the agenda for the 
conference.  The four-day conference resulted in the drafting of a 
UPDF PSO Strategic Training Action Plan to be submitted to the UPDF 
Land Forces Commander, Lieutenant General Katumba Wamala.  The 
strategy calls for ACOTA PSO training for the next and succeeding 
UPDF battle groups deploying to Somalia and immediate commencement 
of ACOTA "train the trainer" training for 40 UPDF personnel.  The 
strategy also calls for provision of training support equipment and 
limited individual-soldier equipping for the UPDF peacekeepers 
undertaking the training through ACOTA.

BRITISH PEACE SUPPORT TEAM'S EASBRIG PRESENTATION 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
3.  (SBU) On April 24, British Peace Support Team (East Africa) 
Commander Colonel Andrew Mason provided a briefing that proposed 
UPDF long-term development (by 2010-2012) of a battle group to form 
a maneuver element of the East Africa Brigade (EASBRIG) of the 
Africa Standby Force (ASF), along with contingents from Kenya, 
Rwanda, and Ethiopia.  The briefing provided an approach to long 
term PSO strategy for the UPDF.  General Kayemba's responded that 
the UPDF's primary and immediate focus was on Somalia, but he noted 
that the British proposal provided a reference point for the UPDF's 
long-term thinking. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
ACOTA TRAINIGN FOR UPDF SOMALIA-BOUND PEACEKEEPERS 
--------------------------------------------- ------ 
 
4.  (SBU) ACOTA training for the next UPDF contingent that will 
deploy to Somalia, including a battle group headquarters (PSO Force 
Headquarters) and two battalions that will maneuver elements for the 
battle group, will be conducted at the UPDF's Singho Military Base 
during May 21 - July 27, 2007.  The strategy also calls for ACOTA 
PSO training and limited equipping for future Somalia-bound UPDF 
Battle Groups.  All ACOTA training will include PSO command and 
staff training for the Battle Group, PSO command and staff training 
for the two battalion commanders and staffs of the battle group, and 
PSO peacekeeping skills training for every soldier.  The ACOTA 
training will be tailored to include PSO training for the attached 
elements of the battle group, to include armor, engineer, signal, 
intelligence, and medical units.  Further, ACOTA will include 
specific areas of emphasis requested by the UPDF planners, to 
include military operations in urban areas, counter-improvised 
explosive device operations, counter-sniper operations, 
counter-suicide bomber operations, and a Somalia area analysis. 
ACOTA PSO "train the trainer" training will be conducted 
concurrently with all PSO training, with the goal of enabling Uganda 
to achieve a fully indigenous PSO training capacity by 31 December 
2008.

UPDF SOMALIA DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE 
-------------------------------- 
 
5.  (SBU) General Kayemba stated that the decision about when to 
deploy the next battle group to Somalia has not been made 
definitely, but that it could occur as early as August 2007. 
General Kayemba lamented that additional contingents of peacekeepers 
from other countries have not deployed to Somalia as Uganda had 
"hoped for and expected".

COMMENT 
------- 
 
6.  (SBU) Plans for training and equipping Uganda's next battalion 
for Somalia are off to a good start.  We will follow up with senior 
military officers on whether or not the UPDF Training Action Plan 
was approved by Lt.Gen. Wamala and with BG Kayemba for the names of 
the senior officers for the Leahy Human Rights vetting process.
