U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Anders Davidson, vascular surgeon assigned to the Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team (LAMAT) 2026 mission, holds part of a patient’s vein in his hand during a vascular surgery at Owen King European Union Hospital in Castries, Saint Lucia, April 27, 2026. The procedure repaired a traumatic gunshot injury to the patient’s popliteal artery, a limb-threatening injury that can carry a high risk of amputation without rapid intervention. LAMAT 2026 integrated U.S. military and partner-nation medical teams to strengthen regional medical capability through side-by-side care. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Rachel Maxwell)
