Matthew Koopmann, general and vascular surgeon with the 915th Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment, 313th Hospital Center and 2nd Medical Brigade, and Angolan Armed Forces Col. Adriano Oliveira, clinical subdirector of surgery for Hospital Militar Principal, participate in a subject-matter-expert exchange between U.S. Army Reserve medical professionals and Angolan Armed Forces during the Angola Medical Readiness Exercise at Hospital Militar Principal, Luanda, Angola, Sept. 8, 2026. The exchange focused on sharing medical knowledge, discussing trauma care practices and procedures, and strengthening interoperability between U.S. and Angolan military health professionals. MEDREX enhanced the medical readiness and capabilities of the U.S. and Angolan military health professionals. U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) planned and executed the MEDREX, which brought 10 U.S. Army Reserve medical professionals together with Angolan counterparts for clinical collaboration and subject-matter expert exchanges.
