This ensures that the UPDF is ultimately answerable to the people of Uganda, while it remains professional, with focus on protecting its citizens, defending national sovereignty and contributing to regional stability.[6] Organisational structureAdministratively, the ministry is organised into three departments: the Department of Administration, Department of Finance, and Department of Logistics. The Permanent Secretary is the Chief Executive and Chief Accounting Officer for the entire ministry.[6] LeadershipThe ministry is headed by a cabinet minister. The current Minister of Defence, since 6 June 2016, is Adolf Mwesige.[7] He is deputised by the Minister of State, currently Colonel Charles Engola Okello.[8] Uganda People's Defence Force{{main|Uganda People's Defence Force}}During the colonial days, the national defence forces were named King's African Rifles (KAR). Later the name changed to Uganda Rifles (UR) and then Uganda Army (UA). The force that fought the Uganda Bush War, from 8 February 1981 to 26 January 1986, was called the National Liberation Army. In 1995, when a new constitution was promulgated, the name was changed to Uganda People's Defence Force.[9] See also
