rex . This conference is extremely

00:18.144 --> 00:20.719
important for both us and our African

00:20.799 --> 00:22.910
partner nations because this is our ,

00:22.910 --> 00:24.855
this is our really beginning stage

where we get to form what these

00:36.968 --> 00:39.650
extremely important on a large scale to

00:39.659 --> 00:41.881
facilitate and foster that relationship

00:41.881 --> 00:44.369
between our partnering nations and our

00:44.380 --> 00:46.630
US soldiers . The medical engagement

00:46.639 --> 00:48.470
piece really offers a lot of

00:48.479 --> 00:50.849
collaboration and learning

00:50.860 --> 00:53.119
opportunities for national guardsmen

00:53.130 --> 00:54.963
