A Ugandan family, holding basic medicines and dental items they have been given at the triage station, waits to see a health care provider at the Pajimo Clinic. As part of a U.S. Army Africa exercise, Natural Fire 10, U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from the 7225th Medical Support Unit, Greenville, S.C., and the 629th Forward Surgical Team of Columbus, Ohio, worked side-by-side with Ugandan and Tanzanian providers as well as U.S. Navy dentists to treat over 700 local residents per day, extracting teeth, providing medications for malaria, parasites and skin infections, and even issuing eyeglasses.
