A joint team Chadian and U.S. military medical professionals work together during a surgery April 14 at the Military Teaching Hospital in N’Djamena, Chad. They performed a procedure on a Chadian soldier who sustained a gunshot wound that fractured his right femur and left tibia. The U.S. and Chadian medical teams are working together as part of a joint exercise called Medical Readiness and Training Exercise known as MEDRETE 15-3. The exercise is a joint effort between the Chadian government, U.S. Army Africa, the Army Reserve Medical Command and the 7th Civil Support Command. MEDRETE 15-3 serves as an opportunity for U.S. and Chadian forces to hone and strengthen their life saving skills as well as reinforce the partnership between both countries.
