The 4 Infantry Division Commander, Major General Wilberforce Karate Serunkuma, led Division troops on a 30-kilometre route march as part of efforts to assess their physical fitness, discipline and endurance ahead of the Chief of Defence Cup.
Maj Gen Serunkuma encouraged the soldiers to maintain regular physical exercise as the Division prepares to host the inter-divisional sporting competition.
“This exercise is a check on discipline and endurance among the soldiers,” he said.
The Deputy Division Commander, Colonel Richard Kidega Obura, described the route march as an integral part of military training and urged the troops to intensify their efforts as the Division builds competitive teams for the forthcoming games.
He said the preparation was aimed at developing teams of both men and women capable of competing against other divisions.
The Division Training Officer, Col Orombi Oloya; Commander of Artillery, Col Wambi, also participated in the exercise.
