NEW DIGS AND MORE FOR SOLDIER DOGS

摘要

The MWD has been and continues to be a valuable partner to the Soldier while in garrison and in harm's way while deployed. The value of MWDs is greater than ever, especially in this era of asymmetric warfare, in which the enemy makes regular use of improvised explosives. The MWD remains the most reliable explosive detection capability available to the military. As the result of the judicious efforts of PEO Ammunition and PM CCS, MWDs and their handlers have standardized equipment to meet their requirements and a system that helps the handlers acquire and replace equipment easily. This consistently allows handlers to focus on the care of their partners and the mission they do so well, ensuring that these vital assets are always ready to serve as a "Soldier's best friend."
