A young village boy watches service members assigned to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa, 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion Functional Specialty Team and local Ugandan community animal health workers during a veterinary civic action project June 5. The service members, Ugandan veterinarian students, and 31CAHW's treated more than 30,000 animals over the six day VETCAP. Veterinarian students mentored the CAHW's during the VETCAP, which assists in building a highly trained and skilled veterinary force while directly impacting the nation's capability to provide for its own animal population.
