Nicole Gruber, left, train Senegalese military medical personnel on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) procedures during a multinational medical readiness exercise (MEDREX) in Ziguinchor, Senegal, May 6, 2026. The training focused on point-of-injury care, casualty assessment and hemorrhage control techniques designed to improve survivability in austere and combat environments. Conducted during African Lion 2026 (AL26), the MEDREX supports the Vermont National Guard’s State Partnership Program partnerships with Senegal and Austria while strengthening interoperability between U.S., Austrian and Senegalese medical personnel. AL26 is U.S. Africa Command's largest annual joint exercise, designed to strengthen collective security capabilities of the U.S., African nations, and global allies. Co-led by U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) from April 20 to May 8, 2026, and hosted in Ghana, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia, AL26 involves over 5,600 personnel from more than 40 nations, using innovation to drive partner-led regional security.
