Richard Hurley (right), orthopedic surgeon, Brooke Army Medical Center, works with Ghanaian military medical professionals during a surgical procedure at the 37th Military Hospital in Accra, Ghana, June 14, 2022, during a Medical Readiness Exercise (MEDREX) as part of African Lion 22.

    Hurley is part of a 19-person medical team from the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force working alongside Ghanaian medical professionals during MEDREX Ghana 22, from June 6-23. The teams work together treating patients from local communities in a variety of medical specialties, including orthopedics, general surgery and emergency room care.

    MEDREX allow military personnel from the United States and their African partners to exchange best medical practices, procedures and techniques that build and strengthen treatment capabilities, resulting in lasting relationships between medical professionals.

    African Lion 22 is U.S. Africa Command's largest, premier, joint, annual exercise hosted by Morocco, Ghana, Senegal and Tunisia, June 6 - 30. More than 7,500 participants from 28 nations and NATO train together with a focus on enhancing readiness for U.S. and partner nation forces. AL22 is a joint all-domain, multi-component, and multinational exercise, employing a full array of mission capabilities with the goal to strengthen interoperability among participants and set the theater for strategic access.
