U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa conducts medical readiness exercises in Africa every year. These exercises join U.S. Army medical units with partner nation military medical providers for 3-week clinics in Africa. The interface provides U.S. Army medical professionals valuable knowledge of procedures and capabilities for care across Africa. The experience enhances the capabilities of Army medicine for contingencies in Africa and around the world. At the same time, the exchange provides our partner militaries understanding and capability of U.S. military medical providers. The program also provides the opportunity for U.S. and African militaries to strengthen partnerships and promote U.S. interests in Africa.
