ACCRA, Ghana – The U.S. Army, in partnership with the Ghanaian Defense Force, will conduct combined Medical Readiness Training Exercise 15-2, in Accra, Ghana from July 6 to Aug. 7.

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

MEDRETE 15-2 is an annual exercise that allows U.S. forces to train in an austere environment and share medical procedures with Ghanaian medical professionals. This training enhances the Ghanaian health care system’s ability to deliver effective general surgery and trauma response in support of regional U.N. and African Union missions.

Once the exercise is complete, U.S. participants will return to their home station.

SETAF-AF forensic team deploys expertise at sea, protects US and allied assets
VICENZA, Italy – When U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) identified a need to gather evidence, the U.S. Army’s Joint Theater Forensic Analysis Center (JTFAC) answered the call. Its forensic team launched into action at sea, turning expertise into real-world impact. At the request of CENTCOM and AFRICOM, JTFAC personnel deployed to collect and analyze forensic evidence from a vessel carrying Iranian-supplied advanced conventional weapons. The seized cargo included ballistic missile components, anti-ship ballistic missile parts and a warhead, all bound for Houthi rebel forces in Yemen. The forensic evidence helped secure a June 5, 2025, federal conviction of the ship’s captain, Muhammad Pahlawan, a Pakistani national who worked closely with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, on six charges related to smuggling Iranian-made advanced conventional weaponry destined for the Houthis in Yemen, as well as threatening multiple witnesses.
