 No longer are the days of the Military Working
Dog (MWD) Handler to expect to stay in his
branch of
service.
As the war in
Afghanistan
changes, so does
the mission of
the K-9 Unit.
At a remote
location in the
northeastern
mountains of
Afghanistan,
near the
Pakistan border,
sits a US Army
Forward
Operating Base.
Attached to the
US Army Infantry
unit are four
dog teams, two
Air Force and
two Navy, two
explosive dogs
and two narcotic
dogs, all four
being patrol
dogs.
Their mission:
support the
missions of the
Infantry as they
flush out and
eliminate the
Taliban and
other
terrorists,
during what is
being called the
fiercest
fighting
Afghanistan has
seen since the
beginning of the
war. |
