Participants of the Battlegroup Commanders’ Course have been encouraged to apply the knowledge gained to benefit the African Continent and the world, particularly during Peace Support Operations.
“As you depart from this course, remember that the knowledge and skills you have acquired here are not just for your personal enhancement but for the broader benefit of our region and the world. You are now better prepared to confront the diverse and formidable environments you will serve,” said Brig Gen Julius Bagonza.
The Director of Personnel and Administration – Air Force, Brig Gen Julius Bagonza, made the remarks at the closing of the Battle Group Commanders’ Course on Friday (14 June 2024) at the UN Regional Service Centre in Entebbe.
He thanked the European Union-African Peace Support Architecture (EU-APSA) for supporting the course.
Brig Gen Getachew Ali Mohamed, the Eastern African Standby Force, urged the participants to be ambassadors of the Eastern African Standby Force (EASF) and disseminate their knowledge to their subordinates.
The 14-day course brought together participants from the Eastern Africa Standby Force: Uganda, Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Comoros, Djibouti, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Sudan.
