Senegalese medical personnel demonstrate pre-hospital

Senegalese medical personnel demonstrate pre-hospital trauma care during a timed scenario at a workshop taught by U.S. Army medical personnel at Base Militaire Bel Air, Senegal, during MEDRETE 18-1, Feb. 20, 2018. MEDRETE is a combined effort between the Senegalese government, U.S. Army Africa, and the Vermont National Guard. MEDRETE 18-1 is the first in a series of medical readiness training exercises that U.S. Army Africa is scheduled to facilitate within various countries in Africa, and serves as an opportunity for the partnered militaries to hone and strengthen their general surgery and trauma skills while reinforcing the partnership between the countries. The mutually beneficial exercise brings together Senegalese military and U.S. Army medical professionals to foster cooperation while conducting medical specific tasks. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
