Uganda Peoples Defence Force (UPDF) is the Uganda's armed forces. It was previously called the National Resistance Army. The International Institute for Strategic Studies estimates that the UPDF's total strength was between 40,000 and 45,000. It consisted of both land forces and an aerial wing. The British retained the majority of high-ranking military commands after Uganda gained independence in October 1962.
