    Veronique Sagna, holds her unborn child just prior to a cesearean section delivery due to a rare occurrence known as abdominal pregnancy, Feb. 8, 2018, at Hospital Militaire De Ouakam, Dakar, Senegal. Abdominal pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy with very high chance of mortality for both the mother and the fetus. Sagna's delivery was performed by U.S. Army and Senegalese medical personnel during MEDRETE 18-1. MEDRETE is a combined effort between the Senegalese government, U.S. Army Africa, and the Vermont National Guard. MEDRETE 18-1 is the first in a series of medical readiness training exercises that U.S. Army Africa is scheduled to facilitate within various countries in Africa, and serves as an opportunity for the partnered militaries to hone and strengthen their general surgery and trauma skills while reinforcing the partnership between the countries. The mutually beneficial exercise brings together Senegalese military and U.S. Army medical professionals to foster cooperation while conducting medical specific tasks. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
