State Partners Vermont and Senegal Work Together for MEDREX 23
U.S. Army National Guard 2nd Lt. Peter Lannon, a registered nurse with the Vermont Army National Guard's Medical Detachment, administers medications for a patient at the Thies Regional Hospital during a Medical Readiness Exercise in Senegal. The Vermont Soldiers and Airmen are participating in a MEDREX organized by the State Partnership Program (SPP) and administered by National Guard Bureau. The MEDREX allows medical personnel from the U.S. military and partner nations to exchange medical procedures and strengthen treatment capabilities. The exercise exposes participants to unique medical delivery methods, and ultimately improve their capacity to assess and deliver medical care. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through SPP since 2008. (U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. 1st Class Jason Alvarez)
