    U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are conducting a veterinary civil assistance mission, restraining and treating a goat in an arid, rural African setting. A local civilian in traditional dress assists in holding the animal while one soldier administers what appears to be an injection or medical treatment. This type of mission is consistent with humanitarian civil affairs operations conducted in the Horn of Africa region.

    U.S. Army Master Sgt. Daniel Wolters, left, 257th Engineer Team operations/logistics non-commissioned officer, and Maj. Bradley Keough, veterinary field officer with the 448th Civil Affairs Battalion's functional specialty team, vaccinate a goat during a Veterinary Civic Action Program, or VETCAP, in Daaba, Kenya, Aug. 5, 2012. The VETCAP involved local civilians; the Kenyan military; a local veterinarian; a representative from the international organization Veterinaires Sans Frontieres-Suisse; and civil affairs soldiers from Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa, or CJTF-HOA. CJTF-HOA participates in many VETCAPs across East Africa, aiming to help strengthen the capabilities of community based animal health workers, ensure livestock health, enhance agriculture and economic stability and develop trust and confidence with partner nations.
