Training Dogs for War (904th Military Dog Detachment)

Fort Benning hosted fifteen military working dog teams from across the U.S. Army. The 904th Military Working Dog Detachment invited the teams for a pre-deployment training called Operation Brutal Dog. Military working dog teams are used in garrison and combat support missions, including area security, movement and mobility support operations; they are also used to detect narcotics, landmines, firearms and explosives.
