Brig. Gen. Jeffrey J. Johnson, commanding general of Brooke Army Medical Center, San Antonio, Texas, observes a team of U.S. Army and Chadian medical personnel removing a cyst from a patient's thyroid during MEDRETE 18-2, April 25, 2018, at Hospital Militaire D'Instruction, N'Djamena, Chad. This year marks the fifth year conducting MEDRETE with the Chadian medical community. MEDRETE is a combined effort between the Chadian government and U.S. Army Africa. MEDRETE 18-2 is part of 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 Chadian military and U.S. Army medical professionals to foster cooperation while conducting medical specific tasks. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
