On February 6, 1981, Museveni launched a guerrilla war with 41 fighters, with only 27 armed with guns and pistols and attacked Kabamba Military School. This bold move launched a 5-year guerrilla war that liberated Uganda. 

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.
