Mike Callan, traveled in late May to Entebbe, Uganda, to discuss ongoing cooperative activities and potential future engagement with the Ugandan army and air force. Callan said there is already good military-to-military engagement between the two nations, and “as we look down the road, discussions at the senior level will better guide the nature, scope, and timing for future events.” Maj.
