AFRICOM's MEDRETE's hosted by United States Army-Africa, pair small teams of military medical professionals from the U.S. with participating African partner nations to train alongside and share best practices in trauma and surgical medicine. U.S. personnel benefit by providing medical care in a forward and austere environment; and African partners develop closer relationships with medical personnel and local populations receive additional medical care.
