GENERAL RECRUITMENT
In 2004 the Ministry of Defence and Veteran Affairs (MoDVA) undertook a comprehensive program to transform the Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) into a modern, professional, and accountable force subordinate to the civilian authority. This undertaking has enabled the UPDF to acquire requisite skills and capabilities to defend and protect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Uganda.
Peace and Stability remain a fundamental prerequisite for socio-economic transformation for any country. It is therefore envisaged in the Uganda Vision 2040, that Uganda can only harness her abundant opportunities and achieve its aspirations when there is absolute tranquillity.
This imperative has therefore become a cornerstone in all UPDF missions and drives the institution to keep an all-time force that is modern and professional replenished through a continuous recruitment of able-bodied willing Ugandans. Articles 51 and 52 of the UPDF Act, 2005 give UPDF authority to recruit Ugandans who meet the standards prescribed in all districts without discrimination. Uganda Army Recruitment Application Form

The UPDF leadership has set up teams to ensure that the exercise achieves its objectives within the time given. Districts are encouraged to meet their quotas allocated as per the results of the population census which will be communicated by the team leaders.
Finally, let it be clear that recruitment into the UPDF is not an off-the hook job opportunity, but rather a patriotic calling to serve our country Uganda in a field that requires great sacrifice and determination from the very first day of recruitment to the last day of one’s service.
For God and My Country.

ready to serve die found my country (+256)UG
I heared the president of uganda today after his swearing in making his speech and it broke off an alarm that has been silent for the last 24 years of my life. I have tried to serve my country but may be not convincing enough and its until today that I have picked an inspiration from the president himself who has been serving and still continues to serve this great Nation even when most of us dont seem to appreciate just as much. I know within in me that if one desires to be a good leader he or she must first learn how to follow and serve diligently and after taking so much thought about this I feel so ready to serve my country aslong as im worthy..so help me God
