Simone Campani, center, an emergency room physician, observe a Senegalese medical provider administer an epidural before an emergency cesarean section during a multinational medical readiness exercise (MEDREX) in Ziguinchor, Senegal, May 6, 2026. Campani provided instruction and mentorship on epidural and anesthesia techniques to Senegalese medical personnel in the days leading up to the procedure. Conducted during African Lion 2026 (AL26), the MEDREX supports the Vermont National Guard’s State Partnership Program partnerships with Senegal, Austria and Italy while strengthening interoperability and medical readiness among multinational medical teams. 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.
