President Yoweri Museveni, holding the position of the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, has implemented notable changes within the Special Forces Command (SFC). As outlined in the statement from the Ministry of Defense and UPDF, Col Allan Matsiko, previously serving as the SFC director for intelligence, has now been assigned the role of the 303 brigade commander.

Simultaneously, Col JB Asinguza has taken on the position of the commander of Special Forces Group One. Col Asinguza also holds the responsibility of the Director of Training within the Special Forces Command.

These strategic changes within the SFC reflect a realignment of leadership roles, potentially aimed at optimizing the efficiency and functionality of the Special Forces. The redistribution of key personnel underscores the President’s commitment to ensuring a dynamic and effective armed forces structure. The specific expertise and background of Col Allan Matsiko and Col JB Asinguza in intelligence and training, respectively, may indicate a targeted approach to enhance these crucial aspects within the Special Forces Command.
