U.S., Senegalese, Austrian, and Italian military medical personnel train and provide patient care during a multinational medical readiness exercise, or MEDREX, conducted April 26 to May 8, 2026, at hospitals in Ziguinchor, Senegal, during Exercise African Lion 2026. The MEDREX brought together partner forces to exchange medical expertise across specialties, including surgery, emergency medicine, behavioral health, dentistry and Tactical Combat Casualty Care while strengthening multinational readiness in austere environments. Conducted during African Lion 2026 (AL26), the MEDREX highlighted the Vermont National Guard’s State Partnership Program relationships with Senegal and Austria, bringing partner forces together in Senegal for multinational medical training while allowing medical personnel from the United States, Senegal, Austria and Italy to strengthen multinational readiness capabilities and exchange medical knowledge in resource-constrained environments. AL26 is U.S. Africa Command's largest annual joint exercise, designed to strengthen the 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 involved over 5,600 personnel from more than 40 nations, using innovation to drive partner-led regional security.
