This collection documents the Liberation / Bush War led by President Museveni from the initial attack on Kabamba Military School to the jungles of Luwero Triangle.

On February 6, 1981 a group of 41 men, led by President Yoweri Museveni drove along Masaka-Nyendo-Katigondo-Ssembabule road in an old truck with one mission, to attack Kabamba Military Barracks and grab as many guns as possible so that they start a revolution to overthrow President Milton Obote.

They attacked Kabamba at around 8:15 am, but they did not get as many weapons as they expected. When they attacked Kabamba on February 6, they had 27 guns. To these, they added 13 after the attack.

This, according to accounts of Museveni and fellow fighters, was not so good, but also not bad since they did not suffer grave losses.

On the next day, the group attacked Nsunga Police post and on top of three guns also captured a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG).

The total number of guns they had then increased to 43 with an RPG. Rocket Propelled Grenades are important for mobile guerrillas because they are the only movable close combat support weapon available.

The number of guns increased to 60 on February 8, after they attacked Uganda National Liberation Front (UNLA) posts in Kiboga district.

The attack on Kabamba triggered a five-year guerrilla war also known as the Liberation War, which brought Museveni to power in 1986 under the National Resistance Army/Movement (NRA/M).
