U.S. Army Capt. Robyn Ayer, a medical surgical nurse and midwife with the Vermont National Guard, offers a comforting lower back massage to a Senegalese woman in labor, during a medical readiness exercise in Senegal. Ayer has been an integral part of the maternity ward, helping to deliver 10 babies with the Senegalese medical staff. She is part of a 40-person U.S. medical team working with Senegalese hospital professionals at the Thies Regional Hospital and two smaller hospitals in and around Thies, Senegal over the two-week MEDREX Senegal 2023 exercise from 20 Feb. to 2 March 2023.
MEDREX is a program designed and overseen by the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) that allows medical personnel from the U.S. military and partner nations to exchange medical procedures and strengthen treatment capabilities. The exercise exposes participants to unique medical delivery methods, and ultimately improves their capacity to assess and deliver medical care. MEDREX Senegal 2023 is organized and executed by the Vermont National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP) and administered by the National Guard Bureau. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through SPP since 2008. (U.S. Army photo by Cpl. Alisha Grezlik)
