While maintaining their focus on security, the Soldiers took the opportunity to communicate in harmony with the Ndugusiga residents. In this communication, the Soldiers and Ndugusiga residents conducted soccer joint practice to utilize the free distribution by the Chief of Army. In response to the soldiers’ role, a resident, Markus Tabuni, said, “Thank you, Commander 509. We are happy to practice soccer together. God bless.” This heartwarming response from the youth underscores the impact of the Army’s efforts and the unity and support in the assigned area, providing a sense of reassurance and security.
