The Uganda Army,also known as the Uganda Rifles,served as the national armed forces of Uganda during the presidencies of Mutesa II and Milton Obote. As time went on,the military was gradually expanded and increasingly interfered in Uganda's national politics. It played a prominent role in defeating local insurgencies,suppressing opposition to Obote,and intervened in conflicts in the Congo as well as Sudan. Dissatisfied soldiers overthrew Obote in 1971,resulting in the establishment of the Second Republic of Uganda under the dictatorship of army commander Idi Amin. The Uganda Army was purged,with thousands of suspected pro-Obote troops killed or fleeing the country. The military was consequently split into an army serving under Amin –the Uganda Army (1971–1980) –and exiled rebel factions. The latter helped to overthrow Amin's regime during the Uganda–Tanzania War of 1978–79,and became the core of the Uganda National Liberation Army which would serve as Uganda's national military from 1980 to 1986.
The 1972 invasion of Uganda was an armed attempt by Ugandan insurgents,supported by Tanzania,to overthrow the regime of Idi Amin. Under the orders of former Ugandan President Milton Obote,insurgents launched an invasion of southern Uganda with limited Tanzanian support in September 1972. The rebel force mostly consisted of the "People's Army" whose forces were mainly loyal to Obote,but also included guerillas led by Yoweri Museveni. The operation was hampered by problems from the start,as a planned rebel commando raid had to be aborted,Amin was warned of the impending invasion,and the rebels lacked numbers,training,and equipment. Regardless,the militants occupied a few towns in southern Uganda at the invasion's start. However,no major popular uprising erupted as Obote had hoped.
