(twangy guitar music)
- The mission for Flintlock today was medical-based
and it was to practice a mass casualty incident.
It was a joint partnership event
that involved every nation here.
It was African partner-driven in that they were
the primary actors in this scenario.
It's certainly a bilateral learning environment.
The African partner nations have a lot to learn from us
in terms of techniques and procedures,
but then again, from them we have a lot to learn
with making due with what we have.
At the end of the day, medicine
is almost a universal language and it always talks
to each other, even through language barriers.
And the ultimate goal that we all shared today
was saving lives.
