{UAH} Dummy's guide :retiring form UPDF

It's illegal, according to the UPDF Conditions and Terms of Service to have an officer at the rank of captain or major, aged 50 in active service.

If at the age of 40, a captain is not promoted to the rank of major, the army must retire the officer, but there are captain who are over 50 years and are still serving.
Regulation 28, Cap 307 of the terms of service specifies at which age an officer should be promoted to another rank, if not be retired from the service but according to army sources, UPDF has flouted its own regulations.

From the rank of Lieutenant to Captain one can apply for retirement at 40 years, while a major can leave service at 45.

A Lieutenant colonel can retire at 47 and a colonel's retirement age is 51.
The army code also specifies the years of service upon which an officer can rightly apply for retirement but some have doubled the required number of years and are still waiting to be retired.

From the rank of Second Lieutenant to General an officer can rightly apply for retirement after 14 years of service while the lower ranks can retire at Nine years.
