Lt. Cmdr. Karen Corson, medical liaison officer for Africa Partnership Station West, escorts a Senegalese woman during a medical outreach project. The 16-member team of U.S. Navy and Air Force medical and dental professionals have treated more than 2,000 patients in a four-day period. Marines with the Security Cooperation Marine Air-Ground Task Force have been participating in military-to-military events with the Senegalese Armed Forces in the nearby city of Thies over the past three weeks, but have been sending teams of Marines to help with the medical outreach.
