HOUSED 11 JULY 2024 - Surgical_MEDREX_Final.mp4
For U.S. Army Lt. Col. Charles Foley, Maj. David Macdonald and Sgt. Laysa Nogueira, assigned to the 402nd Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment (FRSD), the opportunity to participate in the U.S. Army Southern European Task Force, Africa (SETAF-AF) organized Medical Readiness Exercise (MEDREX) in N’Djamena, Chad wasn’t simply an exchange of medical knowledge or unit readiness, it was a life-changing opportunity.
Lt. Col. Foley said, “I sat here [in Chad] the day before and looked out over the river and saw the people out farming and fishing and thought, what an honor and privilege for me to be over here. How many people can say they went to Chad, or Africa, with the Army and operated to support the people there. Does it get better than that? For me no, it’s awesome”
