Abstract

The Medical Readiness Training Exercise (MEDRETE) is generally regarded as an effective tool for enhancement of U.S. foreign policy in developing nations. However, if MEDRETEs are evaluated with parameters other than emotion, there is found to be little durable effect and virtually no improvement in the health status of the host nation. The classic MEDRETE is ineffective, costly, and provides only an evanescent benefit to the served population. It should be replaced by PMRETEs (Preventive Medicine Readiness Training Exercises) targeting preventive medicine concerns which would provide low-cost, durable contributions to the health status of growing nations.
