Thanks Tom. I'd read a little about the origins of the RPA within the Ugandan Army and the roles of Musevemi and Kagame. I've never been very clear on Tanzania, although I seem to recall that Kagame spent a little time there as well - I may be confused or mistaken about that though.

I have to admit from what I've been able to read so far about the formation, training, and operations of the RPF/RPA, to about equals parts admiration and shock.

You were in the Para-Commandos, n'est pas? Did you ever encounter COL Luc Marchal?
