U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Taylor Johnson, an Opthalmology Technician with the Vermont Air National Guard's 158th Medical Group, observes a surgery at the Thies Regional Hospital, in Thies Senegal. The Vermont National Guard's 40-person medical team will work alongside Senegalese medical professionals to treat patients in a variety of medical specialties at the Thies Regional Hospital—located 70 kilometers east of Dakar, and at two smaller hospitals in and around Thies over the two-week exercise. The Soldiers and Airmen are participating in the Medical Readiness Exercise (MEDREX) organized by the State Partnership Program (SPP) and administered by National Guard Bureau. The MEDREX 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 improve their capacity to assess and deliver medical care. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through SPP since 2008. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jason Alvarez)
