CJTF-HOA Civil Affairs Soldiers provide dental support

Civil affairs Soldiers assigned to Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa completed a dental civic action program in Arta, Djibouti. The civil affairs team treated more than 40 patients during two days in the Arta region and extracted more than 50 teeth. During the month of February, the civil affairs team has also provided dental support in the Dikhil and Ali Sabieh regions, and plans to visit an additional region in the future.
