BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
THE ROLE OF THE MILITARY WORKING DOG (MWD)
MWDs provide a valuable asset to military police, infantry, special forces, the Department of Defense (DOD), and other government agencies. The MWD's senses of sight, smell, and hearing enhance his detection capabilities and provide commanders with a physical and psychological deterrent to criminal activity. Properly trained MWDs can prevent an intruder or suspect from escaping. When necessary, the MWD provides an added dimension of physical force as an alternative to the use of deadly force. Public knowledge of MWD team capabilities provides military police and various security forces with a formidable deterrent wherever the MWD team is employed.
MWDs are key resources for use in the military police combat support role. MWDs are trained for scouting, patrolling, and performing building and area searches. Some MWDs have also been trained to track although this is not a required area of expertise. All of these skills contribute to the successful completion of the five military police functions across the full spectrum of military operations.
MWDs are a unique item; they are the only living item in the Army supply system. Like other highly specialized equipment, MWDs complement and enhance the capabilities of the military police. MWD teams enable the military police to perform its mission more effectively and with significant savings of manpower, time, and money.
