At the time NRA captured Kampala in 1986, Mugume was the Commander of the 3rd Battalion. Later, he served as deputy army commander.[4] When General David Sejusa was kicked out of the Ugandan parliament, Joram Mugume was one of the five military officers nominated to replace him.[5] In May 2016, President Yoweri Museveni promoted him to the rank of Lieutenant General.[6]
