US Air Forces in Europe medics joined other US military and Moroccan medical personnel, treating patients in rural Morocco for diseases such as tuberculosis and intestinal infections as part of the humanitarian medical aid portion of African Lion 06, an annual US-Moroccan military exercise, which ended May 31. According to Stars and Stripes, a group of 33 active duty and reserve Air Force and Navy personnel have treated nearly 5,000 people in less than a week.
The Air Force kicked off one of its biggest exercises this week with the latest edition of Bamboo Eagle, featuring combined virtual and live training scenarios focused on test the command-and-control “nervous system” leaders need to operate on a complex joint battlefield spread over vast distances.
