Spc. Samantha Greeninger, an Army Reserve medic from Cincinnati, Ohio, assigned to the 629th Forward Surgical Team of Columbus, Ohio, waits with two Ugandan children and a grandmother for laboratory results to come back at the Pajimo Clinic in rural Uganda. The girl on the left was suffering from a skin infection, while the child on the right was tested for HIV –and found to be negative. U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from the 7225th Medical Support Unit, Greenville, S.C., and the 629th FST 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.
