David Oyite Ojok (15 April 1940 – 2 December 1983) was a Ugandan military commander who held one of the leadership positions in the coalition between Uganda National Liberation Army and Tanzania People's Defence Force which removed strongman Idi Amin in 1979 and, until his death in a helicopter crash, served as the national army chief of staff with the rank of major general. ==Military career before 1979== Although there are few documented details regarding David Oyite Ojok's early years, he was initially noted in his late twenties as a junior army officer serving during the 1966–71 period of President Milton Obote's first government. He joined the Uganda Army in 1963. He was transferred from 1st Battalion to 4th Battalion on 7 February 1966 at Shaban Opolot's orders.〔Omii Omara-Otunnu, Politics and the Military in Uganda 1890–1985, 75, citing General and Administrative Order 9/1966.〕 However at the end of February 1966 he was transferred to Army Headquarters, to the important position of Deputy Assistant Adjutant and Quartermaster General (DAA&QMG). In September 1970, while Idi Amin was out of the country serving as the Ugandan representative at the funeral of President Nasser of Egypt, Obote appointed a new Chief of Defence Staff (Brigadier Suleman Hussein).〔Omara-Otunnu, 1987, 89.〕 In addition, Oyite-Ojok, described by Omara-Otunnu as 'Obote's principal military confidant' was appointed to the '..newly created post of Assistant Military Secretary in the Ministry of Defence,' serving as a Major. His duties included '..planning, all policy matters, and control of Establishment.' When Idi Amin overthrew Obote in 1971, Oyite Ojok was amongst the military personnel who fled to neighbouring Tanzania and, eight years later, in the wake of Amin's 1979 invasion of the country, assumed a key role in the grouping of military exiles who, with the backing of Tanzanian troops, led the counteroffensive which resulted in the overthrow of Amin.
