CAMP LEMONNIER, Djibouti (Jan. 24, 2024) Service members from Camp Lemonnier’s Expeditionary Medical Facility veterinary service team, medical professionals and military working dog handlers from CLDJ and Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, gathered for joint K-9 Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training. Military working dogs are critical assets for military police and special operations units serving in combat environments. The K-9 TCCC training ensures injured working dogs receive the highest level of resuscitative care, even in the absence of military veterinary personnel. As the only Level II military trauma center on the African continent, Camp Lemonnier’s EMF operates as a force healthcare system providing emergent care, preventative medicine and veterinary services to support Camp Lemonnier and forward-deployed units in the region. CLDJ’s EMF conducts regular trauma training for CLDJ medical and veterinary personnel to maintain crisis response readiness. Camp Lemonnier is an operational installation that enables U.S., allied and partner nation forces to be where they are needed to ensure security and protect U.S. interests. The installation provides world-class support for service members, transient U.S. assets and 38 local tenant commands.
