In September 2009, the United States alongside the East African Countries of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda launched a coalition operation in Kitgum, Uganda. Their mission was to prepare the region for the challenges of a pandemic or equally devastating regional disaster. As the operation unfolded, unmistakable leadership lessons emerged amidst the backdrop of humanitarian and security operations. This is the story of Task Force Kitgum: the lessons gleaned from a dynamic multinational environment, the results, and the influence the mission had on its participants and the local people. This book is best characterized as a guide for leaders of business, government, nongovernmental and faith-based organizations working in complex human environments where teamwork is critical for success.
