Jinja, Uganda – The U.S. Army, in partnership with the Ugandan People’s Defence Force, will conduct combined Medical Readiness Training Exercise 15-4, in Jinja, Uganda from Sep. 14-25.

Military medical personnel from Uganda and the U.S. will participate in this exercise that allows medical professionals from both militaries to build and strengthen medical treatment capacity.

MEDRETE’s are an annual exercise that allows U.S. forces to train in an austere environment and share medical procedures with partner nation medical professionals.
