MEDICAL READINESS

SAVING LIVES AND STRENGTHENING TIES

On April 11, 2025, the Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team (LAMAT) wrapped a two-week medical mission in Georgetown, Guyana. Nearly 60 U.S. Air Force and Reserve medical professionals teamed with local doctors to treat over 1,700 patients, perform 273 surgeries, and provide care across five hospitals. They also repaired 14 critical medical devices and completed 2,000+ hours of training. Blending precision with purpose, the mission enhanced U.S. medical readiness and deepened partnerships in the region—proving some missions are won not with weapons, but with compassion, expertise, and collaboration.
