## Chapter 2 Authorizations And/Or Requisitions For Military Working Dogs

21. Authorizations a. Authorizations for MWD teams are based upon mission analysis from commanders that request MWD teams.

Commanders must review and analyze the physical security and types of crimes experienced at the installation to determine requirements and justification for the use of MWD teams. Unit commanders with MTOE should also review and analyze combat support missions and requirements that can be reasonably supported by employment of MWD teams (see DA Pam 19012 and FM 319.17).

b. The MTOE or TDA requirements are determined through coordination with and approval from HQDA, DCS, G3/5/7 based on the Total Army Analysis process. Distribution of authorized and/or resourced requirements will be determined by DCS, G3/5/7 through coordination with Office of The Provost Marshal General.

c. Permanent kennel facilities will be complete and available for use prior to the arrival of MWDs at the unit, installation, or activity. During contingency operations abroad, kennel facilities or designated facilities for dogs will be completed within 1 year. The ACOM/ASCC/DRU should provide guidance on temporary kennel requirements when permanent kennel facilities are not available for deployments.

d. Requests for MWD authorizations will be submitted to the respective commanders of ACOM, ASCC, or DRU
per AR 7132. The request will include
(1) The results of the security and crime analysis and/or the combat support mission analysis in accordance with FM
31917.

(2) A justification for the types of MWD teams requested (for example, SSD, MDD, PNDD, and/or PEDD). (3) Handler grade authorizations on MTOE or TDA per the standards of grade authorization (SGA) outlined in DA
Pam 61121. The SGA and ASI for MWD handlers are explained in paragraph 31, below.

(5) A corresponding request for equipment changes to authorization in MTOE and/or TDA. e. The ACOM, ASCC, and/or DRU commander will review submissions from their subordinate organizations to ensure that requests for MWD authorization are valid and justified, and that personnel and facilities are available to support the request.

f. Existing MWD programs will be reviewed at least annually to ensure that MWD assets are properly used and that justification of assets remain valid. When MWD team assets are reduced or increased, appropriate changes to both personnel and equipment authorizations of MTOE and/or TDA will be processed per AR 7132.

22. Requisition planning for military working dogs
a. The MWDs are obtained as a result of a logistical transaction. b. A new MWD may be requisitioned based on the following conditions: (1) Authorized vacancy. (2) New authorization or approved addition to force structure (MTOE and TDA). (3) Health of the MWD and or sudden and significant degradation of performance in the MWD.

approval. The ACOM will forward a copy of the MILSTRIP to DAPMOPS.
g. After approving requisition requests, TACOM will forward all requisitions to Headquarters, Air Force Operations,
Lackland Air Force Base, TX 78236, for review.
h. All requests for MWDs that are not properly documented as described above will be returned without action to
the requesting ACOM/ASCC/DRU.
24. Supplementary procedures (disposition packets)
a. Disposition packets are used to determine further usefulness of the dog for DOD purposes. Department of Defense has final authority and/or final determination of disposition packets, to include circumstances such as
(1) MWD diagnosed by a veterinarian as having a medical condition that will result in decertification or euthanasia within 12 months.

(2) MWD diagnosed by a veterinarian as having a medical condition that is expected to result in death or permanent disability.

(3) PEDD or PNDD unable to meet Army standards for dual certification.

(4) MWDs that are overly aggressive.

(5) MWDs that are under the age of 8 years old, but are ineffective. b. Kennel masters report disposition packets through their chain of command to their local veterinary and will ensure that the packet is forwarded to the 341st TRS, Lackland Air Force Base, TX for final disposition.

c. The MWD that undergoes euthanasia, dies, or is adopted (see app D), commanders ASCCs and/or DRUs will notify Commander, TACOM (AMSTALCCPS) Army Support Office, 700 Robins Avenue, P.O. Box 57997, Philadelphia, PA 191117997 and DAPMOPS.

25. Excess military working dogs a. Kennel masters may return excess dogs to the 341st TRS only when authorized and approved in writing (see para
24, above). Disposition packets will be coordinated through Director, 341st TRS, and Chief, DOD Military Dog Veterinary Service.

b. The ACOM/ASCC/DRU will report excess dogs to DAPMOPS.

c. As a rule, the 341st TRS will not retrain excess dogs which have become ineffective.

## Chapter 3 Training Of Military Working Dog Teams

31. Initial training a. All MWDs, except MDDs conduct initial training with the 341st TRS at Lackland Air Force Base, TX. (Initial training of the MDD is delegated to the USAES, but remains a MWD program covered by this regulation.)
b. The PEDDs and PNDDs are trained in separate programs from their handlers at the 341st TRS. Training is conducted at the basic level for both the handler and the dog. (Training is not intended to prepare either the handler or the dog for employment immediately after permanent assignment.)
32. Initial certification of military working dog teams a. Certification is the process used to formally evaluate and identify MWD teams that demonstrate reliability and maturity as a team. All certifications are valid for 1 year.

b. The SSD and MDD teams are recognized as certified upon graduation from initial training, because both programs require the handler and dog to be trained together as a team during initial training. (Training is intended to prepare the dog for employment immediately after permanent assignment.)
c. The PEDD and PNDD must receive their initial certification within 6 months of assignment as a MWD team. d. The MWD and handlers will be certified as a team before being employed to support any mission. e. The PEDD and PNDD will conduct a minimum of 30 consecutive days of sustainment training, in accordance with this regulation, prior to their initial certification.

f. Certification standards are designed to ensure that MWD teams meet or continue to meet minimum standards for MWD proficiency (see app E for detailed certification conditions and standards for each type of MWD dog).

g. Initial certification procedures will include (1) Present the training aid twice.

(2) Conduct certification in accordance with MWD initial training (that is, on a 6inch leather and/or nylon leash. (3) Conduct certification in search areas that mirror the areas the team is expected to search during a real operation or mission.

(4) Plant explosive training aids and narcotic training aids in separate search areas. (5) Use a minimum of 5 different training areas for the certification. Training areas must present a realistic environment to the MWD team. Examples include vehicles (20 or more), barracks (occupied), theatre, luggage (30 or more), warehouse, community buildings, and open areas.

(6) Use 1 blank problem (no aids). (7) Conduct prolonged search (30 minutes) in a search area that has limited visibility. h. Newly assigned and fully capable MWD handlers that are not projected to be certified within 6 months due to extenuating circumstances should have their dogs reassigned to another handler or removed from the program.

i. All certification, recertification, or decertification actions will be reported to DAPMOPS by electronic message with (AHRCEPBM) and U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command (AMCOM) (AMSTRMSFC) as recipients. At a minimum, the message will identify the type action, handler involved (by name, rank, social security number, and unit of assignment), and MWD involved (by name, tattoo number, and whelp date).

33. Recertification of military working dog teams a. Recertification is an annual requirement for all MWD teams that have already received initial certification.

b. All recertifications will follow the same procedures as the initial certification.

c. Recertification conditions must include occupied buildings, vehicle groupings, and luggage (PEDD, PNDD, and SSD only).

d. Recertification will be requested under the following conditions: (1) The MWD is assigned to another handler. (2) The handler and MWD have been separated or have not conducted sustainment training for 35 or more consecutive days.

(3) Failure appropriate percentage rates for 2 or more consecutive months (a) The PEDD, SSD, and MDD must maintain minimum detection standard of 95 percent for explosives detection with no more than a 10 percent false response rate.

(b) The PNDD must maintain minimum detection standard of 90 percent for narcotics detection with no more than a
10 percent false response rate.

e. Teams that are identified for recertification will not be used in any official capacity encompassing patrol or detection utilization.

f. Teams that do not pass recertification must undergo 30 working days of sustainment training before being reconsidered for certification. Additionally, the number of allowed false responses will be limited to no more than 1 during subsequent recertifications.

34. Training aids The unit requesting certification is responsible for procurement, storage, safety, and accountability of all training aids during certification and in accordance with the instructions in DA Pam 19012 (see app E for additional details regarding training aids for each type of MWD).

35. Individual training (sustainment training)
a. Sustainment training is mandatory for all MWD teams in garrison and while deployed. Without positive reinforcement for performing a task correctly, the MWD will lose interest in performing the task and the skill will deteriorate rapidly. The minimum sustainment training standards for all MWDs are as follows (where training time equals dogintheharness work).

(1) *Dualpurpose military working dog*. Conduct a minimum of 8 hours of training per week; 4 hours per week dedicated to patrol skills and 4 hours per week should be dedicated to detection skills.

(2) *Single purpose military working dog*. Conduct a minimum of 6 hours per week on single purpose skills. b. The MWD handlers will record and maintain all training conducted with their MWD on forms approved for use by DAPMOPS.

c. Individual training records will receive a signed verification of training by the unit commander. d. All MWD handlers in a law enforcement role will maintain a probable cause folder (FM 3.1917 outlines the requirement for content for a probable cause folder). All other MWD handlers will maintain a training and utilization folder that highlights the specialty of their MWD.

e. Onthejob training of dogs to perform additional MWD skills that are not part of certification standards is prohibited.

36. Validation a. Validation is a training tool for the kennel master, plans NCO, and detachment NCOIC to verify the quality and effectiveness of initial training and sustainment training in garrison and while deployed. The intent of validation is to identify a specific patrol or detection weakness that requires corrective training.

b. Validation will be conducted quarterly to verify the patrol and detection accuracy rates that were recorded on DA
Form 2807 (Military Working Dog Training and Utilization Record) or DA Form 3992 (Narcotics or Explosives Detector Dog Training and Utilization Record) during sustainment training.

c. Validation will be given to any MWD whose demonstrated performance appears to significantly differ from training performance records (DA Form 2807 or DA Form 3992).

d. Validation will be conducted for each type of MWD as follows: (1) *EDD, PEDD, NDD, and PNDD*. A minimum of 20 trials will be performed over a 5 to 7 day period. Respective training aids will be divided equally into at least 5 different search areas.

(2) *SSD and MDD*. A minimum of 7 trials will be performed over a 5 to 7 day period. Respective training aids will be divided equally into at least 5 different search areas.

e. Validations will be recorded and maintained in the MWD training records. This written record will be signed by the same commander that verified sustainment training for the MWD team. (In the case of permanent change of station of the commander, the new commander may sign the training record.)
f. All MWD teams must undergo validation before being considered for certification.

37. Training assistance team a. Commanders may encounter a training problem that is beyond the scope of the command's ability to resolve.

Commanders may request training assistance through the appropriate ACOM/ASCC/DRU to DAPMOPS. The request will
(1) Describe the problem. (2) Describe the measures which have been taken to resolve the problem. (3) Contain a thorough justification of the need for training assistance and verification that the requesting command will provide temporary duty funding for the training assistance team and pay for all training costs.

b. Requests will be forwarded to TRADOC (training proponent for MWD) to assign a training assistance team.

## Chapter 4 Management And Utilization Of Military Working Dog Teams

41. General management and utilization requirements a. All MWDs and handlers should be assigned as teams and change stations as teams. Dogs and handlers assigned together as teams will be employed and deployed together as teams. Assignment stabilization of MWD handlers from assigned assets are subject to policies as directed by Commander, HRC.

b. Commanders will assign an appropriately qualified handler to every MWD on hand. Assignment will be consistent with the policy of "1 dog, 1 handler."
c. All dogs will be assigned a handler. Those without handlers should be immediately reported to DAPMOPS. d. All dogs require 4 weeks of acclimation and training when deployed to an operational theater of operations prior to use on missions. Dog teams may be used prior to this acclimatization and training, but do not expect optimal performance.

e. Modifications to MWD patrol vehicles should be made to allow the dog to roam freely in the cargo compartment of a sport utility vehicletype with the windows rolled partially down for ventilation, without the dog being able to inadvertently attack someone close to the vehicle.

f. Reassignment of unassigned dogs (no handler) to another ACOM/ASCC/DRU will be coordinated through HRC
and DAPMOPS. Kennel masters or plans NCOs will be required to conduct sustainment training on unassigned dogs within their sections until an assigned handler is received. The sustainment training should be limited to 1 training session per week in accordance with the dogs capability (see chap 3 guidelines).

g. Certification is a prerequisite for employment of any MWDs. h. At no time will a MWD be left unattended during employment. i. The MWDs will be employed at least 24 hours per week once certified as a team (employment may include training exercises, which would be an addition to mandated training outlined in chap 3 of this regulation).

j. Commanders of installations where MWD teams are used will consult with their Staff Judge Advocate to determine legal requirements for, and local restrictions on, using MWDs.

k. Visits to MWD kennels or training sites without official purpose are prohibited. Capability demos, although beneficial, will be limited to those considered particularly advantageous to the goal of advancing the skills of the MWD team. Personnel are at all times prohibited from explaining the limitations and known weaknesses of the MWD.

l. The MWD handlers will not be assigned additional duties that interfere with their MWD handler responsibilities.

This stipulation is not meant to prohibit training activities such as field training exercises, required unit training, or physical training. This prohibition is to restrict those duties that cut into the training time and employment requirements necessary to maintain the dog team's special abilities.

m. Temporary duty and permanent change of station travel orders involving movement of an MWD team will include instructions that authorize use of civilian veterinary facilities and services at Government expense, if military veterinary facilities and services are not available. In addition, variation authorization will be authorized due to traveling with a live animal being dependent upon weather, routes, packaging of the aircraft and surface temperatures.

n. Any person who voluntarily resigns before training is completed or is removed for cause because of an incident where mistreatment or death of a MWD was substantiated is permanently barred from further dog handler courses. (Cause for removal shall include, but may not be limited to, any reasonable suspicion that the Soldier committed a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice; violation of Federal, State or local law; repetitive safety violations, or by selfremoval.)
o. Inquiries regarding sale or donation of MWDs to DOD, and inquiries concerning MWD qualification and characteristics should be referred to the 341st TRS, Lackland Air Force Base, TX 78236, (210) 6713125.

p. Narcotics detector dogs will not be trained on those drug substances (for example, phencyclidinePCP) that present a health and safety threat to the dog without advance written approval through appropriate ACOM/ASCC/DRU command channels to DAPMOPS. Such requests are highly discouraged and will be granted on a very limited, casebycase situation.

q. Narcotics detector dogs will not be trained to detect any explosives. Explosives detector dogs will not be trained to detect narcotics.

r. There are currently only 3 authorized MWD PEDD, PNDD, and MDD. The SSD is an evolving capability that is being trained and employed, but not yet formally authorized. The PEDDs and PNDDs that are no longer capable of dual certification are still authorized to be used in a single purpose manner, but will be considered excess MWD.

42. Identifying and assigning military working dog handlers Success of the MWD program relies upon the support of local commanders for Soldiers desiring to become MWD handlers. Interested Soldiers that meet the qualifications outlined in chapter 1 of this regulation should submit a DA Form 4187 (Personnel Action) through their chain of command for assignment to initial training and followon assignment as a MWD handler. Unit commanders should identify and assign qualified candidates from assigned personnel, consistent with the SGA.

43. Preparation of military working dogs for overseas movement a. All MWDs will be given a physical examination and be accompanied by a health certificate and rabies vaccination certificates within 7 days of shipment to the port of embarkation. If a military veterinarian is not available, a civilian veterinarian under the provisions of AR 403 and AR 40905, may give this examination. The MWDs will be evaluated to be reasonably sure that the MWD will be able to complete its assignment with minimal medical difficulty.

b. Vaccination against rabies, canine distemper, canine adenovirus type 1 or type 2, leptospirosis, canine parvovirus, and parainfluenza (if MWD has not been vaccinated for these diseases within the past 6 months). The attending veterinarian will ensure immunizations are current and consistent with the requirements of destination (local, state, and national) regulations. Ample notification must be given to the veterinarian to accomplish immunization and medical examination prior to shipment. Other vaccinations and treatments will be administered at the discretion of the Army veterinarian.

c. The complete copy of the medical and training records will be carried by the handler or other assigned military escort (handler qualified).

d. Dogs 9 years of age or older will be evaluated to determine if the dog will be able to withstand the rigors of travel and a projected useful life of 1 year or more. Dogs that fail to meet this standard need to have veterinary documentation to assist in the replacement process.

44. Additional skill identifier management for military working dog handlers a. Retention of any MWD handler ASI is based on active assignment to and participation in the MWD program.

Mandatory utilization requirements of ASI trained handler personnel are specified in AR 614200, paragraph 43b or DA Pam 61121.

b. Awarded ASI will be reported per AR 614200 to ensure proper assignment, utilization, and career management of MWD handlers. The ASI, job title, and SGA are based on DA Pam 61121.

c. The MWD handler's ASI may be awarded to personnel only after formal training and certification. If DOD
civilian guards or police are used as Army dog handlers, they must attend the MWD training course at the 341st TRS.

d. Individuals who have been away from the MWD program longer than 4 years may retain their ASI, but must successfully complete the MWD supervisor course given by 341st TRS before returning to the kennels or working a dog.

e. The ASI will be removed for the following reasons: (1) *Military*. Approved DA Form 4187 through the appropriate chain to HRC.

(2) *Civlian*. If reassigned to another position, reclassification of existing position to remove duties associated with the MWD program, or removal from employment based on reason for removal and commander determination.

(3) *Permanent profile*. Individuals identified with permanent profile limitations which restrict them from performing any handler functions may request withdrawal of the ASI. If the Soldier does not voluntarily request the withdrawal, the request may be command directed. Appropriate documentation must be submitted for a permanent withdrawal.

45. Potential uses for military working dogs a. The MWD has exceptional potential for use in the combat support role. The MWD is trained in many skills which can make a difference between the success or failure of many combat missions.

b. The MWD can be trained to respond consistently to certain sensory stimuli (sights, odors, or scents) and alert the handler. Most MWDs receive additional training in advanced skills such as an explosive detection, narcotics detection, ammunition and weapons detection, and mine detection. Tracking is the most difficult advanced training for an MWD to learn, but is a useful combat skill for MWD handlers. All of these skills when used correctly can contribute to battlefield circulation control and area security operations, as cordon and search and other combat operations. The MWD can be used to detect an ambush, find explosives placed by insurgents, or track and capture fleeing personnel.

c. The MWD teams are force multipliers. To ensure combat readiness, MWD teams will participate in field training

and deployment exercises with combat arms forces to the extent possible. Employment suggestions are described in
FM 319.17. Some examples of potential employment are as follows:
(1) Perimeter patrolling. (2) Route security patrolling and/or route reconnaissance. (3) Clearing buildings for designated personnel, units, or facilities. (4) Point security (for example, traffic control point). (5) Access control. (6) Area reconnaissance and/or searches. (7) Cordon and search. (8) Raid exploitation patrol dog functions. (9) Area and/or route clearance.
46. Use of contract working dogs The use of contract detector dog service should be avoided and used only if no other means are available to accomplish the mission. The following standards must be applied in an instance when contracting for working dog services.

a. Contract statement of work will require dogs or dog teams to be certified as per the requirements of this regulation. Contracts will be coordinated with and approved by DAPMOPS.

b. Although contractor provided working dogs must meet or exceed the standards of this regulation, they will not be classified as or referred to as MWDs.

c. Prior to requesting contractor proposals for bid, coordinate with the regional veterinary command or cognizant medical detachment commander to determine whether DOD veterinary support is authorized and available. If authorized and available, ensure contract includes provisions for contractor reimbursements for all veterinary care. If DOD veterinary support is not authorized or available, the contract will stipulate all veterinary care and associated cost is the responsibility of the contractor.

d. Dogs provided by contractor or concession normally are not eligible for military veterinary services. The exception to this pertains to contractor animals supporting a contingency operation in a theatre of operations where military veterinary assets are already available.

e. Emergency veterinary procedures required to prevent undue suffering or to save the life or limb of contractor animals may be provided by military veterinarians, on a reimbursable basis, as time and resources permit, before referral of such cases to a civilian practitioner for followup care.

f. If applicable, and included in the provisions of the contract, nonemergency veterinary services may be provided to contractor animals in the theatre of operations, on a reimbursable and space available basis, within the capabilities of the deployed veterinary unit.

47. Use of force with military working dog a. Use of MWDs will be in accordance with the provisions of this regulation and the use of force policy set forth in AR 19014.

b. The MWD use of force (release of a patrol dog to apprehend a suspect) is a greater measure of force than the use of an MP club, but less than deadly force because a patrol dog is trained to terminate an attack on voice command of its handler. A MWD may be used to prevent escape, but should not be released if a lesser measure of force would accomplish the apprehension.

c. A challenge or order to halt will be given before an MWD is released to attack. Dog handlers are not equipped with an MP club, and because of the requirement to control their dog, normally will not be able to employ any unarmed defense techniques. Therefore, a warning to the suspect about the possibility of an attack by the MWD (in selfdefense, in defense of the dog handler, or on order of the handler) should be announced as soon as possible in any encounter. Handlers who are stationed in an outside continental United States assignment must learn to give the warning in the host nation language.

d. Commanders and provost marshals or security offices using MWDs will establish clear policies and procedures governing the release of dogs per this regulation and AR 19014. Commanders will ensure that all affected personnel are thoroughly familiar with these policies and procedures. Policies and procedures developed by commanders should fully recognize the potential danger of bodily injury to a suspect if an MWD is released. Nothing in this regulation should be interpreted to preclude making all reasonable efforts to use all lesser means of force.

e. Patrol dogs should be used cautiously in confrontation situations, since their presence could aggravate a situation.

The Army's use of force policy applies as much to confrontation situations as it does to any other type of situation. A patrol dog handler who is confronted (for example, in a club, or housing area) should avoid entering a building or closed area alone with the patrol dog. In these specific cases, handlers should take special care to follow the use of force rules and should use the minimum necessary force to withdraw safely from a confrontational situation, then immediately report the incident to his or her supervisor so that necessary actions can be taken.

f. Restrictions on MWD use of force include
(1) Military working dogs, contracted dogs, or any other dog in use by a government agency will not be used as part of an interrogation approach nor to harass, intimidate, threaten, or coerce a detainee for interrogation purposes.

(2) The MWD team will not be used for crowd control or direct confrontation with demonstrators unless determined to be absolutely necessary by the responsible commander. When it is necessary, dogs will be kept on a short leash to minimize the danger to innocent persons. Dogs will not be released into a crowd. Civil disturbance contingency plans will include specific criteria for use of MWD teams that are consistent with this regulation, AR 19014, and DA Pam 19012.

48. Use of patrol explosives detector dogs
One of the most effective countermeasures to the increasing use of explosives by terrorists and criminals is the deterrent value and the detection capability of the PEDD team. The PEDDs are trained to detect the odor and presence of explosives and to enhance the commander's ability to protect facilities and resources, prevent crime, and provide law enforcement services. The PEDD teams can be employed in combat and/or force protection and antiterrorism operations worldwide. The task force commander, the MWD program manager, kennel master, detachment NCOIC and plan NCO with military police planners should consider the use of PEDD teams during combat support operations in the areas listed below.
a. Internment and resettlement operations. b. Postal operations. c. Checkpoints and roadblocks. d. Cordon and search operations. e. Force protection and antiterrorism operations. f. Suspicious and/or unattended package responses. g. Bomb threats. h. Highrisk personnel searches. i. Access control points. j. Health and welfare Inspections. k. Aircraft and luggage searches. l. Field manual 319.17, chapter 7, provides additional information to the task force commander, the provost
marshal, and the planners on how to employ the EDD. Explosives detection is a critical function in protecting life and property.
m. The PEDDs will not be trained to detect any drugs, narcotics, or other contraband substances that are not
explosives. Training to detect explosive substances other than those the dog was trained to detect at the 341st TRS must
be approved in advance by DAPMOPS. An official request for such additional training will be submitted through the kennel's respective ACOM/ASCC/DRU MWD program manager to USAMPS.
n. The PEDDs may be used for inspections in the same manner described for NDDs in paragraph 45c, above. o. AR 52513, appendix B, highlights the need to use EDDs during different threat conditions.
49. Use of patrol narcotics and/or contraband dog detection The PNDD is trained to detect concealed methamphetamine, ecstasy (MDMS), marihuana, hashish, heroin, and cocaine. The NDD will not be trained to detect any explosives. The following principles will be followed when using NDD teams:
a. Criminal investigators will assist the narcotics or contraband detector dog team, whenever appropriate. Obtaining search authorization and collecting evidence are examples of functions with which investigators can assist. Investigators and other law enforcement personnel should work with the detector team as frequently as possible to become familiar with the dog's response and allow the dog to become accustomed to them. However, only the handler will determine when the dog has responded.

b. Handlers will be briefed regularly on the scope of the drug abuse problem. They will be trained to develop a comprehensive knowledge of the law of search and seizure, search techniques, and the legal procedural requirements for custody of evidence or contraband in addition to their normal training.

c. The NDD can be used to conduct inspections in accordance with the Military Rule of Evidence 313. While detection dogs may be used to sniff the air surrounding a person, dogs will not be used to inspect (search) an individual's person for the purpose of determining the exact location of concealed contraband.

410. Use of patrol dog
The MWD that is no longer capable of dual certification in both patrol and explosives or narcotics can still maintain patrol dog functions. To fully utilize the patrol dog's potential, commanders should consider the following:
a. Patrol dogs should be employed in all areas. Patrol dogs must be used during both day and night. Public visibility
increases the patrol dog team's ability to deter theft, burglary, and vandalism.
b. The patrol dog's superior detection ability is especially useful at night or during periods of limited visibility.
Patrol dogs can detect a fleeing person that a human cannot detect and, if necessary, pursue, attack, and hold the fleeing person where the handler has probable cause to believe that a serious offense has been committed. Except in extraordinary circumstances, apprehensions for minor offenses will be accomplished without releasing the dog.

c. Patrol dogs and their handlers can present a strong crime deterrent or detection capability when used in parking lots, around billets and housing areas, and as walking patrols to make building security checks. Around schools, patrol dogs can be used to deter vandals, child molesters, exhibitionists, and illegal drug activities. Patrol dogs can also provide enhanced security for communications facilities and command posts.

d. When patrol dogs and handlers are used to form mobile patrols, the handler can work safely with or without a partner. Mobility significantly increases the patrol dog team's potential of coverage and makes it possible for the team to perform more functions during a duty shift. The dog will ride with the handler inside the vehicle while the vehicle is in operation. Some minor vehicle modifications are necessary to provide the dog with a stable platform over the passenger seat. The platform allows the patrol dog to see and to be seen and to be able to react to any situation in which the handler is threatened or needs the patrol dog. One example could be a crating system that can be purchased and installed with little or no vehicle modification. All vehicles must meet these specifications
(1) The MWD must be accessible to the handler while seated in the vehicle. (2) The MWD should be seen from the outside by the public. (3) The MWD should have 360 visibility to the outside should it have to respond to a threat on the handler. e. Mobile patrols are most effective when employing the ride awhilewalk awhile method. Mobile patrols provide an increased security and enforcement potential for alarm responses, funds escorts, group confrontations, and security of distinguished visitors.

f. Patrol dog handlers will be armed with a pistol or revolver. Sling carried weapons, such as rifles or shotguns, are appropriate for certain missions, even though they hamper the movement of the handler and increase the difficulty of controlling the dog.

411. Use of explosives detector dogs The MWD that is no longer capable of dual certification in both patrol and explosives or narcotics can still maintain explosives detection dog functions. Support may include the following:
a. Explosives detector dog assistance to civil authorities.

(1) Department of the Army is not required to provide the services of Army EDD teams to assist nonDOD or civil agencies. However, installation commanders may honor requests for assistance from Federal agencies or civil authorities for such services upon determination that such assistance is lawful, and required in the interest of public safety.

(2) DODD 3025.1 authorizes installation commanders to provide explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) service in support of civil authorities. The explosives detection capability provided by trained EDD teams is considered to be an aspect of EOD as defined in AR 7515.

b. Explosives detector dog assistance to nonDOD requests. Installation commanders will adhere to the following guidelines in responding to nonDOD requests for assistance for EDD teams:
(1) Requests for assistance should be from civilian governmental, police, fire, or disaster officials. Dog team services will not be provided to private concerns or individuals unless requested by Federal agencies or civil authorities.

(2) Requesting agencies (Federal agencies excepted) or civil authorities must agree, as a condition for the performance of EDD team services, to the provisions outlined in DD Form 1926 (Explosive Ordnance Disposal Civil Support Release and Reimbursement Agreement). The DD Form 1926 may be executed for a period of time, not to exceed 1 year, for a defined geographical area or jurisdiction, or prior to providing EDD team service in response to a request for assistance. In emergency situations, the form may be executed after the provision of dog team services if the requesting official is informed of the responsibilities and liabilities contained therein and agrees verbally.

(3) Only certified MP EDD teams will be used. (4) Army requirements for detector dog teams will have priority for their employment, followed by other Federal agencies and civil authorities, in that order.

(5) The EDD handler will not be separated from his dog under any circumstances when providing service to Federal or civil authorities. The handler must have exclusive control of his search effort and complete access to the search area.

(6) When providing assistance to Federal or civil authorities, EDD handlers will be unarmed and will not wear any distinguishing MP accessories (badge, brassard, lanyard, handcuffs, MP club, distinctive web and/or leather gear, and so forth). Handlers will perform the sole task of working their dogs and will not participate in any other activity to assist civil authorities.

(7) Only the dog team's searching and detecting capabilities will be utilized when providing assistance to civil authorities. Use of the dog team to track and search a building or area for, and/or detect, pursue, and hold, an intruder or offender suspect is prohibited.

(8) Representatives of the requesting agency with appropriate authority will accompany the EDD team at all times when it is working. Should the EDD respond, the handler will so advise the accompanying representative and withdraw or continue the search pattern, as appropriate.

(9) Requesting agencies will be advised that the Army cannot accept responsibility for establishing or maintaining a chain of custody for possible use in court, nor engage in other activities to enforce the law in connection with this service.

412. Explosives detector dog support to very important person missions a. The U.S. Air Force has been designated to serve as the primary service point of contact for all very important person (VIP) missions received from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, USSS, or Department of State. All mission tasking should be issued by the VIP coordination officer who, under authority from the Secretary of Defense, shall task and coordinate all missions performed by DOD EDD team personnel, regardless of service affiliation.

b. The primary consideration in the service tasking process will be the use of the "closest available unit" concept which has proven cost effective and operationally efficient.

c. The length of each mission can vary from a few hours to several days. d. The USSS support missions require participating personnel to display a high degree of discretion in their personal appearance. A clothing allowance will be provided to purchase appropriate attire based on the mission and climate so that EDD team personnel may blend in. Clothing may consist of
(1) A number of conservative business suits (preferably dark in color). (2) Casual clothing, which may be required in a number of situations such as golfing events and other less formal functions.

e. The USSS and Department of State personnel will issue identification, pins, and vehicle placards upon arrival at the mission site.

413. Use of specialized search dog a. Specialized search dogs are initially trained as a team (dog and handler) by the 341st TRS at Lackland Air Force Base, TX. The SSD teams receive training that prepares them to conduct offleash search operations to detect firearms, ammunition, and explosives.

b. When combined with a handler's ability to interpret the dog's response and to judge their significance, the dog and handler team can provide a commander with the ability to
(1) Search for firearms, ammunition, and explosives in (a) Buildings (occupied, unoccupied, or derelict).

(b) Vehicles (cars, trucks, trains, ships, boats, or aircraft). (c) Open areas (fields, islands, woods, hedgerows, or embankments).

(2) Route clearance (roads, tracks, or railways) (3) Check buildings after workmen have left. (4) Search areas of operations (vehicle checkpoints and helicopter landing zones. (5) Search buildings and surrounding areas for improvised explosive devices and explosive plants. c. The SSD's mission is to support combat search operations by detecting firearms, ammunition, and explosive from a safe distance (offleash) from personnel outside the base of operations. The SSD's training and superior sense of smell enables it to detect a wide variety of manufactured and improvised explosive devices.

d. The 2 methods of searching are called free search and systematic search. A free search is working a loose search pattern with minimal control. The systematic search concentrates on specific areas to ensure the area is 100 percent searched.

e. There are 3 search types used by the SSD. The rummage search is done quickly and very loosely in large areas. A
lowrisk search is a little tighter than a rummage search but still uses the free search method. A lowrisk search is used in a cordon and search operation. Finally, the highrisk search is a methodical search based upon a given intelligence.

f. All SSD teams are required to complete an intheatre validation prior to beginning military operations. This validation should be conducted by a supervisor of handlers trained in the MWD specialty being validated. The SSD teams will have a minimum of 4 weeks train up in the theater of operation and conduct a validation using local training aids.

414. Use of mine detection dog a. An MDD must be considered an additional detection tool and should only be used after a careful analysis of the situation, climatic conditions, and terrain. The mission of an MDD team is to support mine clearance operations by detecting landmines and other casualtyproducing devices.

b. A mine dog's training and superior sense of smell enables him to detect a wide variety of foreign landmines.

When combined with the handler's ability to interpret his/her dog's responses and to judge their significance, the team can provide the commander with
(1) A sight picture of the emplacement of all types of mines. (2) A warning of minefields and their boundaries.

(3) Assistance in the detection of mines missed by other mine detection and clearance assets and/or confirmation of their finds.

(4) Trip wire detection when properly trained. c. All MDD teams are required to complete an intheatre validation prior to beginning military operations. This validation should be conducted by the detachment NCO with assistance from the MDD team leader conducting testing. The MDD teams will have a minimum of 4 weeks train up in the theater of operation which includes validation using local training aids. The intheater training minefield requirement is a field that has aged for a minimum of 2 months. The validation process provided the intheater commanders with the reliability and confidence that the dog teams meet required operational detection standards.

415. Use of combat tracker dog
a. A combat tracker dog gives units the ability to track individuals or groups in all environments without having
visual or electronic contact.
b. The combat tracker dog is capable of following human scent in order to (1) Track the quarry (enemy) from human scent to reestablish contact with (a) Survivors and/or escapees of ambush by friendly forces. (b) Fleeing enemy attacker and/or ambush and/or mortar and/or rocket and/or sniper. (c) Improvised explosive devices and/or mine layer. (d) Escaped prisoners. (2) Track lost and/or missing friendly personnel from human scent to reestablish contact with (a) Lost and/or missing patrols. (b) Downed pilots. (c) Hostages and/or prisoners of war (ambush). (3) Identify a specific individual out of a group from human scent.

## Chapter 5 Kennel Facilities And Care Of Dogs

51. Kennel facilities a. Security measures such as lighting, barriers, and structural integrity can be provided, merely, by including them in the design and construction of the kennel facility. Standards for construction and operations of kennel facilities will be in accordance with AR 19013, AR 1905, FM 31917, and DA Pam 19012. New construction must be coordinated with IMCOM for funding, supporting veterinary activity and the physical security personnel, safety, kennel master, and the COE.

b. Kennel facilities will not be used to house or care for any animals other than DOD procured MWDs.

52. Risk analysis a. To provide the most realistic and costeffective protection for the MWDs and kennel facility, commanders must appreciate the importance and analyze the significance of the threats to these assets because of theft, sabotage, or damage. A proper analysis of these risks will determine the minimum level of protection needed to adequately safeguard these resources. This process is called risk analysis.

b. A risk analysis should be accomplished every 2 years for the kennel and surrounding area. c. Recommended that a physical security inspection is done every year and copy of the findings be maintained on file for at least 2 years.

d. The principles of risk analysis (DA Pam 19051) apply to the determination of measures which must be taken to protect the kennels and dogs from criminal activity.

53. Warning signs a. To gain the maximum psychological advantage of MWDs and to protect the innocent or unwary trespasser, signs identifying MWDs presence will be installed at installation entrances and on primary access roads to installations where MWDs are used.

b. Warning signs will be posted on the exterior fencing and buildings of the MWD kennel and exercise area. Signs should contain the following words: "DANGEROFF LIMITSMILITARY DOG AREA."
c. Personnel approaching the installation or the kennel should be able to see and read the warning signs under normal daylight conditions from a distance of 50 meters.

d. A warning sign stating "DANGER MILITARY WORKING DOGDO NOT TAMPER WITH ANIMAL," will be attached to all shipping crates used for MWDs. In addition, shipping crates must be labeled on the top and one or more sides with the words "LIVE ANIMAL."
e. Removable warning signs stating "CAUTIONMILITARY WORKING DOGS" will be placed on the sides (and rear, when appropriate) of any vehicle used to transport MWDs.

f. Outside continental United States kennels facilities warning signs need to also be in host nation language. g. Personnel approaching a vehicle or shipping crate being used to transport an MWD should be able to see and read the warning signs under normal daylight conditions from a distance of 10 meters.

54. Care and grooming.

The dog handler is trained to care for an MWD. The handler is responsible for the dog's daily care and grooming, to include cleaning the dog kennel and run daily and feeding the dog as prescribed by the attending veterinarian and DA Pam 19012.

55. Feeding requirements a. Standard dog food available for requisition includes Hills Science Diet Active Maintenance Formula, General Services Administration (GSA) contract NSN 871001415 6950; nonmedicated, NSN 8710001446834; dog food, dry, NSN 8710002688203; and dog food, canned, NSN 8710002688205.

b. Special diets may be procured and fed to individual dogs when the veterinarian determines that other than the standard diet is required.

c. Nutritional standards for the MWD are contained in AR 40905, chapter 5.

56. Veterinary care a. All MWDs should be seen by an Army veterinarian (or civilian veterinarian in an emergency or authorized by an attending Army veterinarian) whenever any signs of illness or injury are detected by the handler or the kennel master. This includes any changes in hearing, elimination habits, behavior, or other more obvious signs of illness or injury.

b. The kennel master should coordinate with the veterinarian for the routine, semiannual examination of all MWDs
(AR 40905).

c. All personnel assigned to the kennels will receive quarterly training by the Veterinary Corps officer or his or her representative as referenced in AR 40905.

## Chapter 6 Administration

61. Inspections a. Commanders, provost marshals, and detachment commanders will conduct a monthly inspection of handlers, MWDs, training, team utilization, team proficiency, equipment, and kennel facilities. Provost marshals will ensure that inspections are conducted in compliance with this regulation. Both DA Pam 19012 and FM 319.17 contain guidelines that will be helpful in this inspection.

b. The inspection must ensure that there are 2 complete sets of dog equipment for every dog assigned to that installation. There must be 1 complete bite and/or attack suit on hand and a number of attack sleeves to conduct proficiency training. In addition, the commanders must ensure that there is 1 patrol vehicle assigned to the kennel section for every 2 MWDs assigned. The vehicle types should be nontactical; tactical or sport utility vehicle. There is a requirement for one pickup truck for every kennel to transport explosives to and from training areas.

c. Although the focus of the inspection may vary from month to month, all aspects of the MWD program will be inspected quarterly. A signed written record of the provost marshal's and/or commander's monthly inspection will be prepared and corrective action identified. Subsequent inspections will ensure that corrective action has been taken. The written record of the inspection will be maintained for at least 1 year after the date of the inspection. Commanders should conduct a 6month post certification evaluation to ensure that all teams are meeting or exceeding regulation requirements.

d. The attending Veterinary Corps officer will conduct a sanitary inspection of each MWD facility at least quarterly to ensure compliance with health and welfare requirements of AR 40905 and other regulatory guidance. A copy of the inspection report will be provided to the kennel master. Inspection reports with major deficiencies will be forwarded to the ACOM/ACSS program manager by the veterinarian officer.

e. The ACOM/ACSS/DRU MWD program manager will conduct annual inspections of the MWD program at the installation. This inspection will be kept on file for a minimum of 2 years after the inspection date. Corrective action will be taken and forwarded to the ACOM/ACSS/DRU MWD program manager within 90 days.

62. Records a. When a dog is procured, a permanent administrative record file is initiated by the 341stTRS, along with a permanent veterinary health record. Together, the administrative record and the health record constitute the permanent record file.

b. The record file will accompany the dog on every permanent transfer and will be kept current by the kennel personnel to which the dog is assigned. Permanent veterinary records will not be removed from the veterinary clinic at the assigned installation. Copies of these records will be made and taken with the handler on deployments. The permanent MWD training records will be maintained and secured at the kennel facility for the assignment or the life of the dog. The handlers will not remove permanent training records from the facility.

c. Probable cause folders will be created for each MWD team performing law enforcement duties. The contents of these folders will consist of, but not be limited to, a copy of the current month and the previous 90 days of patrol (DA Form 2807) and detector dog training records, (DA Form 3992), a copy of the MWD team patrol and/or detection certification, decertification, or recertification documents, a copy of the MWD service record (DD Form 1834 (Military Working Dog Service Record)), a copy of Lackland form 375 and any items considered pertinent to the dog teams capabilities for the purpose of establishing probable cause. Probable cause folders will be taken with the MWD team on deployments, certifications, VIP missions, and court. Upon completion, the current month's MWD training records will be removed from the probable cause folder, copied, and placed in the permanent file; the copy will then be placed in the probable cause folder.

d. Upon the death of the dog or adoption of the dog, the dog's permanent record file will be forwarded to Military Dog Records, Lackland Air Force Base, TX 78236 (AR 70081 contains additional instructions).

e. The administrative records listed in this regulation will be maintained. Detailed instructions are provided in appendix B for completing the listed DA Forms (see DA Pam 19012 for detailed information on training and utilization requirements).

(1) DD Form 1834 is completed and issued by the 341st TRS, with initial assignment of the dog after training; form is upgraded with each new handler assigned to the dog.

(2) DA Form 2807 (see app B for instruction on completing this form). (3) DA Form 3992 (see app B for instruction on completing this form). f. Descriptions of medical records used for MWDs are contained in AR 40905. Only veterinarian personnel are authorized to make or direct entries in a MWDs medical record. Medical records may be kept at the office of the attending veterinarian, or at the kennel facility with the administrative records, as specified by the attending Army veterinarian.

63. Accountability of military working dogs Military working dogs will be assigned to local installations or units by the ACOM/ACSS/DRU. Upon arrival to the installation, MWDs will be placed on the unit property book by NSN, name, whelp date, and tattoo number, and handreceipted to the kennel master per provisions of DA Pam 71021. Kennel masters will subhandreceipt MWDs and equipment to individual handlers. If a MWD team is transferred as a team, handler orders will include the NSN, name, and tattoo number of the dog. DA Form 3161 (Request for Issue or Turnin) will be used for the lateral transfer of the MWD to the gaining commander per DA Pam 71021.

64. Shipping crates a. All dogs will be transported in large, extra large, or giant airline approved shipping crates. The shipping crate and other equipment will be transferred with the dog when the dog or the MWD team is reassigned.

b. Army procured metal crates will be stenciled with "U.S. Army" and a serial number identical to the dog's tattoo number. Units are authorized 1 crate per dog on hand. Army shipping crates will be placed on the unit property book by NSN and serial number and handreceipted to the kennel master per the provisions of DA Pam 71021, chapters 4 and 5. DA Form 3161 will be used to accomplish the lateral transfer of the crate from one unit to another. Shipping crates for dogs which have died will be retained for use with the replacement dog. The replacement dog will have a new tattoo number so the crate should be restenciled with the new number and the unit property book corrected.

c. The MWDs received from the 341st TRS normally will be shipped in Air Force shipping crates. These shipping crates are the property of the 341st TRS and are not included with the procurement of the dog. Air Force crates received or borrowed from the 341st TRS will be returned to the 341st TRS within 10 days after the shipment. The commander, AMCOM, will notify ACOM/ASCC/DRUs of changes to this procedure. (For example, plans are being made to charge the cost of a shipping crate to the procurement price of the dog. Then, the crate will be Army property and treated as such upon receipt). The following reports will be submitted:
(1) *Quarterly MWD Status Information Report*.

(a) Installation commanders will provide data to their ACOM containing the number of MWDs by authorized and on hand and by type, name, tattoo number, and whelp date for each assigned MWD.

( b )  T h e  A C O M s  w i l l  p r o v i d e  c o m p l i e d  s u b o r d i n a t e  c o m m a n d  i n f o r m a t i o n  o r  " N o  C h a n g e "  s u b m i s s i o n s  t o DAPMOPS by the second day of the month following the end of each quarter (2 January, 2 April, 2 July, and 2 October).

(2) *Semiannual Asset Information Report*.

(a) Installation commanders will submit the information in accordance with AR 70081, paragraph 12, and in coordination with ACOM instructions.

(b) The ACOMs will consolidate data from subordinate commands and submit the information to The Provost Marshal General (DAPMOPS), 2800 Army Pentagon, Washington, DC 203102800
(3) *Annual Fiscal Year Projected MWD Requirements Report*.

(a) Installation commanders will submit this data to their ACOM to project the anticipated number of MWDs by type and training specialty (patrol and/or explosive; patrol and/or narcotics; and so on) required by their installation.

(b) The ACOMs will compile subordinate command data and provide the information to DAPMOPS, by the 25th of March each year. The ACOM requirements should be based on projected MWD gains (newly authorized asset) or (transfer, health problems, age and so forth).

## Appendix B Instructions For Completing Da Forms

B1. DA Form 2807
a. Training. This section of the form provides complete training information on all of the training tasks which must be accomplished for a patrol dog to maintain proficiency. It is not necessary to train on all of the controlled aggression tasks during the same day.

(1) Lines 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 10 list required training tasks. Entries may be made in minutes or hours for the amount of time spent training on specific tasks during a particular day of the month. However, the monthly total for each specific task will be in hours and entered in the far right hand column titled "Total Hours.".

(2) Line 4 is an evaluation of that day's training on controlled aggression tasks stating whether the dog's performance was satisfactory or unsatisfactory. An "S" will be used for satisfactory performance and a "U" will be used for unsatisfactory performance. All unsatisfactory performance annotations will have an explanation for the deficiency and corrective action taken recorded on the reverse side of the form and continuation sheets, if necessary. The entries on lines 4a through 4e are the amount of time spent training on each of the controlled aggression tasks.

(3) Line 8 is to be used for the amount of time spent conducting scout or patrol training. Lines 8a through 8c are used to record the distance between the MWD team and the decoy being detected. The method of making time entries will be the same as that outlined in (1), above.

(4) Handler or trainer evaluation of the dog's daily training rating will be entered on line 11 of the training section.

An "S" will be used for satisfactory performance and a "U" will be used for unsatisfactory performance.

b. Utilization. The utilization section provides a daily record of the time spent performing MP duties in the 3 general categories of combat support operations, law enforcement patrol, and security patrol.

(1) The combat support operations category may be used to record time spent performing MP missions, actual or training, in support of combat units. Such operations include field training exercises, command post exercises, mobilization exercises, and other activities related to the tactical and strategic missions of the Army.

(2) Entries on line 4 provide a daily rating of the performance of the MWD while performing MP duties ("S" is for satisfactory, "U" is for unsatisfactory). All unsatisfactory performance annotations will have an explanation for the deficiency and corrective action taken recorded on the reverse side of the form and continuation sheets, if necessary.

(3) When training is conducted during the period of time reported as utilization, the amount of time spent training may also be reported in the training section. However, when time is "doublecounted" a notation should be made on the reverse of the form explaining the doubletime entry. In this way, it will be possible to differentiate between training time, training time while on duty, and duty (utilization) time.

(4) The total monthly utilization hours are recorded in the last column titled "Total Hours." c. Daily feeding. This section makes it possible to record the quantity of food fed daily to the dog for as many as 2
feedings each day.

(1) The type of food being used should be recorded in the first column on line 1. (2) If the second daily feeding is a different type of food, or if the veterinarian changes the diet of the dog during the month, the second or new type of food is recorded on line 2. Line 2 may also be used to indicate the type and amount of food used daily for dogs on a food reward system.

(3) The quantity of food the dog consumed per day will be annotated in the corresponding date columns.

(4) The last column, titled "Wt of Dog", is used to record a semimonthly weight for the dog. The weight checks need not always occur on the middle and last day of each month, but should occur on approximately the same days each month. There is sufficient room under the headings "Date" and "Lbs" to record both the date when the dog is weighed and the weight in pounds.

B2. DA Form 3992
a. Training. This section of the form is used for recording all training of the detector dog team in the detection skill.

Three of the most common detection areas buildings, containers, and vehicles, are listed, with 1 blank space for detection training in other areas. Examples of other areas may include mail inspection, search of open areas, noncontact search of persons, inspection of luggage, inspection of household goods and hold baggage, or any other areas considered significant or unique to the command to which the dog team is assigned. Although some of the examples may be included under 1 of the 3 prelisted categories, these (or others) may be listed separately. Additional forms may be used when there is a necessity to conduct more than 4 types of detection training. The preprinted categories on additional forms may be crossed through and all 4 blocks used.

(1) The top block of each training category is divided into 2 blocks. The top block is used to record the number of training aids planted for that day's detection training. The bottom block is used to record the number of training aids found by the detector dog by a proper response.

(2) Search time is the total amount of time devoted to detection training in each training category for that day.

Detection training is the start time to the finish time of each training problem.

(3) The monthly totals in the last column titled "Total Hours" are obtained by adding the daily time entries in each training category and entering the result.

b. Utilization. All operational detection missions are recorded in the utilization section. As in the training section, 3
of the most common detection tasks are already listed. However, any detection missions that are significant should be listed separately to give an accurate record of the types of detection missions for which the detector dog team is used. Additional forms may be used whenever there are more than 4 types of significant detection missions being performed by the team. When additional forms are used, all 4 blocks may be used simply by crossing through the preprinted categories and entering the appropriate additional categories. There are 2 blocks under each date for each utilization category.

(1) The top block is for recording the number of times a substance is found that the dog has been trained to detect. (2) The bottom block is for recording the total search or inspection time for the detection mission. (3) The last column is the sum of the daily times and gives a record of the total amount of time spent performing the detection missions for that month.

(4) If desired, the number of finds for the month can also be totaled and entered in the last column. c. Detector dog search data. This section is used by the handler to record all relevant information about the productivity and success of each detection mission.

(1) The time and date entries are selfexplanatory. They provide a quick reference for when the detector dog team has performed detection missions.

(2) The location may be a building number, a unit designation, map grid coordinates, and/or any other information that helps to identify where the detection mission was performed.

(3) The military police report (MPR) number is the number assigned to the case to account for the custody and disposition of the substances found. The substance is the identification of the material found by a common name, such as heroin, marihuana, dynamite, or detonating cord.

(4) Quantity is a measure of the amount of substance found. Weight, volume, overall dimensions, length, or any other appropriate measure may be found.

(5) The remarks section may be used for adding any other relevant information about the substance found. This would include field or laboratory verification of the type of substance, EOD evaluation of an explosive device or explosive substance as live or inert, or the presence of other hazardous material in or around the substance found, such as razor blades, trip wires, or poisons. Record any information which may be applicable or useful to other detector dog teams. Use additional sheets if needed. The greater the amount of information shared among detector dog handlers, the more successful the detector dog program will become.

d. Detector dog proficiency. A correct response occurs when the dog detects the substance, responds with a proper response, and the training aid is found where the dog has responded. A false response is when the dog responds as if it has detected the substance (the training aid), but no training aid can be found where the dog has responded. A missed response is when the dog fails to detect and respond with a proper response to the presence of a training aid.

(1) The detector dog's proficiency is computed monthly by adding the total number of correct responses, "a" for the month, and adding the total number of false and/or missed responses, "b" for the month. The 2 numbers "a" (for total correct responses) and "b" (for total false and/or missed responses) are used in the following formula to obtain the detector dog's sustainment rating: (a) (a+b) x100=sustainment rating.

(2) For example, during the month the detector dog made 93 correct responses on training aids. The dog also has 4
false and 3 missed responses on training aids. Applying these 2 numbers (a=93 and b=7) to the formula, the following is obtained: (93) (93+7) x100=93 percent.

(3) The computation above shows the dog is working at a 93 percent sustainment rate. This rate is above the minimum standard of a narcotics detector dog (90 percent), but below the minimum standard for an EDD (95 percent).

(4) The narcotics detector dog handler should continue training to maintain, and possibly increase the dogs sustainment. The EDD handler needs to identify the causes of the dog's substandard performance and immediately begin corrective training to bring the detector dog up to and over the minimum 95 per cent detection sustainment standard. Responses on actual substances during actual searches are not included in this computation. Search data cannot be included because it is impossible to determine the number of false or missed responses during an actual search.

## Appendix C Working Dog Management System

C1. Scope The intent of this appendix is to furnish information that may be useful in planning an MWD program or adding MWD teams to an existing program. The guidelines and "yardsticks" contained in this appendix are not meant to be "absolutes" for utilizations, training, or maintenance. The following paragraphs do, however, give general guidance and information that should be considered when planning a program. Paragraphs C2 to C4 contain performance standards that may be useful in determining the number and type of MWD teams needed. The user of this regulation will find all of the following information useful for writing authorization documentation statements, as well as for planning the local MWD program.

C2. Purpose The purpose of the Working Dog Management System is to provide full life cycle management of the identity, medical status, training, operational assignment, and disposition of working dogs that have been evaluated, acquired, and deployed by DOD and other Federal agencies participating in the working dog program. This program was developed to reach a worldwide customer base, the system is Web based, operating on a framework permitting worldwide access via the Internet and local area networks. Data entry, reporting and ad hoc querying can be performed. The Working Dog Management System has been developed to capture all reporting requirements for the Army Military Working Dog Program. All initial authorizations should be probationary and the following will apply:
a. Adjustment to be made based on actual utilization data. b. Baseline of 24 hours utilization to 4 hours training ratio (with tradeoff when appropriate). c. Automatic review by respective ACOM/ASCC/DRU after 2 years.

C3. Clarification of specific terms a. Utilization includes all missions (law enforcement, security, and combat support), whether patrolling, detecting drugs or explosives, or other functions (in combination) performed when handler and dog are being employed together as a team.

b. Training includes all training activities to maintain, improve, regain, or develop dog skills such as patrolling, scouting, tracking, detection of persons, detection of drugs or explosives.

c. Maintenance includes all activities related to care, grooming, health, and sanitation of the dog, including medical treatment, recuperative time, sickness, and so forth. Down time for medical reasons is the basis for under utilization or under training.

d. Tradeoff is the adjustment between training and utilization necessary to reinforce basic skills or to add new skills. For example, 4 hours per week may be adequate to maintain detector dog proficiency or to train in new skills. Additional training may be justified at times and training hours increased accordingly. This increase in training time should be accompanied by an equivalent reduction in utilization time. However, training hours should not be increased merely as a substitute for lack of utilization.

C4. Patrol dog yardsticks in peacetime (law enforcement and/or security)
a. The start point for patrol dog posts (motorized or walking) is as follows: (1) One per 24 hours of anticipated utilization. (2) A multiplier of 1.2 (addon). b. Factors influencing commitment or justification rationale include (1) Installation population (military, civilian, dependent and contractor). (2) Geographic area served (square miles). (3) Crime rates or rates of incidents on which presence of dog teams could reasonably be expected to have impact
( f o r  e x a m p l e ,  p a r k i n g  l o t  l a r c e n i e s ,  v a n d a l i s m ,  p r o w l e r s ,  h o u s e  b r e a k - i n s ,  s c h o o l s  a n d / o r  c o m m e r c i a l  a c t i v i t y
breakins, rapes and/or assaults in areas used as short cuts, intrusion detection system (IDS) responses).
(4) Risk assessment (using AR 19051) which takes into account (a) Types of activities and resources on the installation needing protection and the value of same (monetary and
intrinsic).
(b) The vulnerability of resources. (c) The effect of loss of resources on the Army's wartime capability.
(d) Type of installation access control (for example, closed, open, timecontrolled).
(e) Crime rates in the local area.
C5. Amending the local tables of distribution and allowances and/or modification of table of organization and equipment Amending the local TDA/TOE for peacetime by adding appropriate dog handler ASIs to the existing structure is the easiest way to start (or add to) a MWD program. A "plus up" of TDA/TOE is the most difficult way to begin a program and should be the last resort.

C6. Narcotic detector yardsticks in peacetime (law enforcement and/or security)
Considerations listed in paragraph C7, below still apply, with additional considerations outlined below because of the additional skill of narcotics detection having been added. The start point for additional consideration in justifying NDD teams may be any combination of the following:
a. One authorization per 5000 population supported. b. One per 24 hours projected detector utilization. c. A multiplier of 1.2 (addon).
C7. Factors for consideration which influence commitment or justification rationale include
a. Installation population composition (military, family members, civilian, median age, and so forth). b. Crime rates associated with drug abuse; use, possession, sale and/or trafficking (general measure is 1 dog team
per 100 use and/or possession cases annually).
c. Level of selfadmitted drug use based on survey data. d. Risk assessment based on DA Pam 19051 that considers the availability of narcotics by type, cost, and
geographic proximity to drug trafficking centers.
C8. Explosives detector yardsticks in peacetime (law enforcement and/or security)
a. Considerations listed in previous sections still apply, with additional considerations outlined below because of the
additional skill of explosives detection having been added. The start point for additional considerations in justifying explosives detector dog teams is as follows:
(1) One authorization per 5000 population supported. (2) A multiplier of 1.2 (addon). b. Factors for consideration which influence commitment or justification rationale include (1) Number of bomb threats annually. (2) Number of actual bombs and/or explosive devices found, and number of actual explosions.
(3) Risk assessment on the following: (a) Resources needing protection and their value.
(b) Vulnerability of resources. (c) Impact of the loss of a resource on the Army's wartime capability.
(d) Threat posed (geography, political significance, and so forth).
(e) Probability of overt and/or covert attack using explosives.
(f) Demographics; for example, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives survey of explosives incidents and the area being identified as a problem area.
(g) Lack of availability or lengthy response time of explosive dogs from other Federal and/or State agencies in the
area (for example, Federal Aviation Administration, local police, and so forth).
C9. Patrol, narcotic detector, explosives detector yardsticks, or considerations for wartime combat support role
Basic patrol dog utilization in combat is contained in FM 319.17. In addition, consideration must be given to
a. Operation plans (OPLANs) being supported which may further justify dogs.
b. Size, mission, and type of combat (or combat support, combat service support) organization being supported. c. Mission of units being supported.
C10. Additional wartime consideration An additional wartime consideration for patrol dogs dual trained as narcotic detectors would be whether or not OPLANs being supported required deployment to the Middle East or Far East. The narcotics detection capability can be used during deployments to either location. This capability may also prove useful around ports of embarkation and/ or debarkation, especially at seaports. Additional wartime consideration for patrol dogs dual trained as explosives detectors can be found in any OPLAN being supported. Justification can be found in any of the following areas (not meant to be all inclusive):
a. Terrorism threat. b. Insurgent threat (that is, during refugee control operations, insurgents may be detected by the hidden ordnance they may be carrying).

c. Key facility security (that is, initial clearance and maintaining that clearance and security on a key bridge on a main supply route).

## Appendix D The Robby Law And Disposition Instructions For A Military Working Dog

D1. Adoption of military working dogsThe Robby Law On September 27, 2000, a Maryland congressman introduced a bill, H.R. 5314, aimed at revising DOD policy to allow adoption of all military dogs, including attack dogs like Robby. The Robby Law read as follows:
D2. Disposition packet a. A disposition package must be submitted from the accountable unit commander to the 341st TRS/TTLMI, 1239
Knight Street, Lackland Air Force Base, TX 782365631. Army packages must be submitted through their ACOM/ ACSS with an information copy provided to their Service MWD program manager. Additional information can be accessed on the 341st TRS Web site at http://www.dodmwd.lackland.af.mil or phone commercial (210) 6713125 or Defense Service Network 4733125.

b. Packages must contain a letter requesting disposition instruction identifying the apparent cause of failure and a summary of retraining efforts or medical problem. Include the following as attachments to the request letter:
(1) Training documentation. (2) Training records from start of training issue to present. (3) Last 6 months of training records if not a training issue. (4) Medical documentation - copies. (5) Vet letter to unit commander. (6) Consultation and/or referral form from veterinarian (medical problems only). (7) Master problem list. (8) DD Form 1829 (Record of Military Dog Physical Examination) (most recent). (9) Relevant SF 600's (Medical Record - Chronological Record of Medical Care) from medical record, including last 3 pages.

(10) Relevant radiology or diagnostic report. (11) Bitemuzzle video clip (for formerly patrol trained dogs if deemed suitable for adoption by accountable unit commander. To speed up the disposition process a copy of the video clip or compact disk needs to be sent directly to the disposition coordinator.

(12) Single purpose detector dogs that have never been a patrol dog do not need a bitemuzzle video.

D3. Possible outcome from the Disposition Board
a. Excess - the accountable unit commander can legally begin the process of removing the MWD from his or her
inventory by whichever means he or she deems appropriate within his or her legal right.
b. Review adoption suitability checklist.
c. Adopt - after bitemuzzle video is reviewed by 341st TRS.
d. Once the dog is adopted, kennel master must send a copy of the Indemnity Agreement to the disposition
coordinator.
e. The original DD Form 1834 must have the final disposition box annotated and sent to the disposition coordinator. f. Transfer to law enforcement if medically eligible.
g. Euthanasia (after consultation with 341st TRS Veterinary Service.
h. Kennel masters must provide a reason why a dog is recommended for euthanasia. i. The original DD Form 1834 must have the final disposition box annotated and sent to the disposition coordinator. j. Not excess - Disposition Board deems MWD should not be removed from inventory; in other words, should stay
on duty.
k. Training aid - authorization to return MWD to 341st TRS for possible use as student training.

## Appendix E Certification Standards And Training Aids For Each Type Of Military Working Dog

E1. Patrol explosive detector dog and patrol narcotic detector dog certification The use of obedience commands demonstrate the level of communication and understanding that exists between a handler and his dog.

a. On command from the handler, the patrol dog must execute the commands of SIT, DOWN, HEEL, and STAY.

The dog must execute the commands correctly when the dog is located at the handler's side and when the handler is positioned at a distance of 50 feet with no more than 1 correction per 5 commands. The commands can either be hand gestures commands or verbal commands. The commands STAY and HEEL are rated critical. The commands SIT and DOWN are rated semicritical.

b. While offleash, the patrol dog will maintain a proper heel position while the handler starts, stops, changes speed, changes direction, and executes facing movements. Movements the dog team must be able to perform include forward march, rear march, column left, column right, and halt. These and other marching movements are rated semicritical.

c. Recall will consist of calling the dog from a distance of 50 feet and stopping the dog at a distance of 25 feet with a SIT or DOWN command. The dog will then be called to HEEL position with a voice command. Recall is rated semicritical.

d. The patrol dog must negotiate the obedience/obstacle course (semicritical).at a marching pace, onleash or offleash, by command of its handler. When offleash, the patrol dog will maintain the heel position while the patrol dog handler walks the dog through the course. Random stops will be made between obstacles, and some obstacles will be passed to ensure that the dog is responding to the handler's direction and not simply "running the course." There will be no more than 2 corrections per command when conducting the obedience course.

E2. Six phases of aggression a. False run (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, sit, or down position, offleash, and not attack when a person approaches the MWD team.

b. False run into a bite (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, sit, or down position, offleash, and attack only on the command of GET HIM. The MWD must complete the attack, bite and hold the decoy, hold with a full mouth bite for at least 10 to 15 seconds, and release on the command OUT. Only 1 verbal correction is authorized and the MWD must release the bite on the second command of OUT. The MWD must return to its handler when commanded to HEEL.

c. Search and attack (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, down, or sit position while the handler searches a decoy offleash. The search will consist of patting down both arms, both legs, and the torso of the decoy. During the search, the MWD must attack the decoy without command if the decoy tries to escape or attacks the handler. The MWD must complete the attack, bite and hold the decoy, and release on the command OUT. Only 1 verbal correction is authorized and the MWD must release the bite on the second command of OUT. The MWD must return to its handler when commanded to HEEL. After the search, the handler moves to a position about 2 feet to the right and 10 feet to the rear of the decoy, so that the decoy is positioned between the dog and the handler. The handler faces the dog and commands the dog to HEEL. The dog must respond to the command without attacking the decoy.

d. Search and call by (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, sit, or down position, and remain in a controlled position while the handler searches a decoy offleash. The search will consist of patting down both arms, both legs, and the torso of the decoy. After the search, the handler moves to a position about 2 feet to the right and 10 feet to the rear of the decoy, so that the decoy is positioned between the dog and the handler. The handler faces the dog and commands the dog to HEEL. The dog must respond to the command without attacking the decoy. The MWD is secured onleash.

e. Stand off (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, down, or sit position, while offleash. Only 1 command of GET HIM will be given. The correct response for this task is the dog will cease pursuit of a decoy on the command OUT, and then on command of HEEL, the dog will return to the heel position. Only 1 verbal correction is authorized and the MWD must stop pursuit on the second command of OUT. The MWD must respond to the command without biting the decoy.

f. Escort (semicritical). When commanded to HEEL, the MWD team must escort the decoy for at least 20 yards.

The MWD must stay in the heel position, onleash, and will not attack the decoy.

E3. Out and guard a. Field interview (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the heel, sit, or down position, on or offleash, and not attack when a person approaches the MWD team.

b. Field interview into an attack (critical). The MWD is placed on guard, onleash, and attack only on the command of GET HIM. The MWD must complete the attack, bite and hold the decoy, hold with a full mouth bite for at least 10 to 15 seconds, and release on the command OUT. Only 1 verbal correction is authorized and the MWD must release the bite on the second command of OUT. Once the MWD releases the bite, the dog must sit, down, or stand without attacking.

c. Search (critical). When commanded to STAY, the MWD must remain in the sit or down position, and remain in a controlled position while the handler repositions the decoy approximately 10 feet from the MWD. The search will consist of patting down both arms, both legs, and the torso of the decoy. After the search, the handler positions himself behind the decoy and commands the MWD to HEEL. The MWD must respond to the command without attacking the decoy. The MWD is secured onleash.

d. Stand off (critical). The MWD is placed on guard, onleash, and attacks only on the command GET HIM. On the command of GET HIM, the MWD will be released offleash. The correct response for this task is for the MWD to cease pursuit of the decoy on the command OUT, and then either sit, down or stand without biting the decoy. Only 1 verbal correction is authorized and the MWD must stop pursuit on the second command of OUT. The MWD must respond to the command without attacking the decoy.

e. Escort (critical). With the MWD onleash the MWD team must escort the decoy for at least 20 yards. The MWD
must complete the escort without biting the decoy.

f. Building search (critical). The MWD will find a decoy inside any structure, and show the handler where the decoy is located. This task can be done either on or offleash but the MWD must indicate a recognizable response. A false response not recognized by the handler constitutes a failure.

g. Gunfire (critical). The MWD will not be adversely affected by gunfire, either when the handler or another person is firing. Gunfire will not be a command for the dog to attack. The MWD will attack only on command. The MWD will hold its position while its handler or another person is firing a weapon. The MWD aggressing on the handler constitutes failure.

h. Scouting or patrolling (critical). The MWD will be able to find people by scent, sight, or sound. Proficiency in scouting or patrolling requires demonstrating the ability to detect and respond to the scent of decoys who are hiding upwind at least 100 yards but not more than 200 yards, and follow the scents to the decoys locations. The MWD will pursue and attack only on command.

E4. Patrol narcotics detector dog training aids a. Units, installations, and activities located within the States or territories of the United States will apply to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for registration.

b. DEA Form 223 (Controlled Substances Registration Certificate) will be used to authorize applicants or registration certificates.

c. Registration is valid for 1 year and must be renewed annually. d. Possession or use of narcotics training aids by units not in possession of a current and valid DEA Form 222
(DEA Official Order Form for Schedule I and II Controlled Substances) is prohibited.

e. Registration and procurement instructions are provided in DA Pam 19012. f. Overseas units will not register with the DEA. Procurement and use of narcotics or contraband training aids in overseas areas will be coordinated with appropriate host governments. Overseas ASCC will establish procedures for procuring and using narcotics or contraband training aids consistent with the requirements of this regulation, AR 1955, and DA Pam 19012.

g. Units, installations, and activities which have been authorized to procure and use narcotics or contraband training aids (DEA registration or appropriate overseas command approval) are authorized to procure up to 200 grams of marihuana (7360), 20 grams of hashish (7370), 20 grams of heroin (9200), 20 grams of cocaine (9041), 20 grams of methamphetamine (1105), and 6 grams of methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA) (ecstasy) (7405). The maximum quantities of controlled substances authorized to be stored at any one time is 300 grams of marihuana, 30 grams of hashish, 30 grams of heroin, and 30 grams of cocaine, 20 grams of methamphetamine, 6 grams of MDMA (DA Pam 19012). Reasonable quantity limits will be established for other controlled substances (for example, amphetamines, barbiturates, and so forth) when these are available and are used for training. All narcotics or contraband training aids will be accounted for using a daily issue and/or return log to record daily transactions involving the drug training aids. This log should be kept in a bound log book, such as NSN 7530002868363, or equivalent. The use of the log book and its relationship to other forms can be found in DA Pam 19012.

h. Checks for accountability of all narcotics training aids will be conducted monthly by a disinterested person in the grade of E7 or higher.

i. Synthetic drugs (for example, pseudoheroin or pseudo cocaine) will not be used for training of narcotics or contraband detector dogs.

j. Any theft or significant loss (1 gram or more of heroin, cocaine or hashish; and 2 grams or more of marihuana) of any controlled substance obtained from Naval Criminal Investigative Service Regional Forensic Laboratory (NCISRFL) will be reported immediately to the appropriate DEA Field Division or Resident Office and DAPMOPS upon discovery of such theft or loss. DEA Form 106 (Report of Theft or Loss of Controlled Substances) will be used. All thefts must be reported whether or not the controlled substances are recovered and/or the responsible parties are identified and action taken against them (21 CFR 1301.74c).

k. Commanders or provost marshals or security officers will appoint, in writing, a custodian and alternate custodian.

The custodian and alternate custodian will be cleared by a favorable U.S. Army Crime Records Center name check before being appointed. The custodians will be responsible for the procurement, storage, security, accountability, and control of narcotics or contraband training aids per this regulation and DA Pam 19012. Further, all MP personnel authorized to use narcotics or contraband training aids will be designated in writing by the provost marshal and/or the Director, Emergency Services.

E5. Patrol explosive detector dog training aids a. The effectiveness of explosive detector dogs depends on continual reinforcement of the detection skill through realistic proficiency training.

b. Commanders or provost marshals and/or security officers will appoint, in writing, an explosive training aid custodian and alternate custodian. Personnel selected as the custodian and alternate custodian will complete DA Form
7281 (Command Oriented Arms, Ammunition, and Explosives (AAE) Security Screening and Evolution Record) in accordance with AR 19011 and be cleared by a favorable U.S. Army Crime Records Center name check before being appointed. The custodians will be responsible for the procurement, storage, security, accountability, and control of explosives training aids per this regulation and DA Pam 19012. Further, all personnel authorized to use explosives training aids will be designated, in writing, by the provost marshal and/or Director, Emergency Services.

c. Checks for the accountability of all explosives training aids will be conducted monthly by a disinterested person in the grade of E7 or above (see DA Pam 19012 for accountability instructions).

d. All personnel associated with EDD training will receive formal training yearly by EOD or safety personnel in the safe storage, transportation, and handling of each type of explosive used as training aids before conducting or participating in proficiency training.

e. Commanders will ensure safety training for using explosives training aids is available before seeking authorizations for EDDs and handlers.

f. Canine explosive scent kits can be requisitioned through local supply channels (NSN 1375011927411). g. Explosives should be packaged by type required and by size needed. h. Training aids by types of explosives are given a Federal stock number and issued through the munitions supply systems.

i. Training aids can be centrally procured and distributed. j. The central procurement agency can either buy the explosives properly packaged, or package them before distribution to units.

k. The types and quantities of explosives authorized for use in training are specified in DA Pam 19012. The ACOM/ASCC/DRU commanders, with DAPMOPS concurrence, may authorize additional explosives training aids when the use of other explosives substances is identified and such use merits development of a detection capability.

l. Explosives training aids will be issued only to those persons who have received the explosives safety training prescribed in d, above. All personnel who are authorized to handle explosives training aids will be designated, in writing, by the activity or installation provost marshal, security officer, or MP unit commander after successful completion of training conducted by EOD personnel.

m. Explosives training aids will be transported only in Government vehicles which have been certified as safe for explosives transportation by explosives safety personnel.

n. The use of pseudo or simulated explosive substances is unauthorized.

E6. Specialized search dog team recertification This establishes the conditions, handler knowledge, areas, odors, and types of searches and systems used to establish the certification process for the SSD teams for the U.S. Army.

a. The use of obedience commands demonstrate the level of communication and understanding that exists between a handler and his or her dog.

(1) On command from the handler, the patrol dog must execute the commands of SIT, DOWN, HEEL, and STAY.

The dog must execute the commands correctly when the dog is located at the handler's side and when the handler is positioned at a distance of 50 feet with no more than 1 correction per 5 commands. The commands can either be hand gesture commands or verbal commands. The commands STAY and HEEL are rated critical. The commands SIT and DOWN are rated semicritical.

(2) While offleash, the patrol dog will maintain a proper heel position while the handler starts, stops, changes speed, changes direction, and executes facing movements. Movements that the dog team must be able to perform include forward march, rear march, column left, column right, and halt. These and other marching movements are rated semicritical.

(3) Recall will consist of calling the dog from a distance of 50 feet and stopping the dog at a distance of 25 feet with a SIT or DOWN command. The dog will then be called to HEEL position with a voice command. Recall is rated semicritical.

b. The patrol dog must negotiate the obedience/obstacle course (semicritical) at a marching pace, onleash or offleash, by command of its handler. When offleash, the patrol dog will maintain the heel position while the patrol dog handler walks the dog through the course. Random stops will be made between obstacles, and some obstacles will be passed to ensure that the dog is responding to the handler's direction and not simply "running the course." There will be no more than 2 corrections per command while conducting the obedience course.

c. The specialized search dog teams will be evaluated in every area with a minimum of 1 highrisk search conducted for certification. One area will have multiple training aids to demonstrate the fact that the dog is not distracted and capable of continuing the search after finding the first aid. The team is allowed 1 false response during the certification with zero misses. All dogs should sit when at source of a known odor however; some situations prevent the dog from physically being able to give a final response. In the case where a dog fails to respond, the handler must identify the definitive change of behavior and point out the area to the evaluator. However, all training must emphasize the sit position on odor. The minimum number of plants is 7 for the SSD certification.

d. The certification authority will determine what areas will be used during certification; at a minimum each area must be used once and some areas may also be used more than once based upon the scenario. The areas and types are listed below
(1) *Route (urban and rural)*. Includes railways, trails, and road ways.

(2) *Area (urban/rural/venue)*. There is a distinct difference between rural and urban open areas and each has unique characteristics.

(3) *Building (occupied, unoccupied, derelict)*. Occupied buildings, the search will begin in multilevel buildings at the top floor and the occupants will be moved to the floor that has been searched.

(4) *Vehicles (static and/or access control point (ACP))*. Static vehicles are searched offleash. The ACP vehicle searches should be done onleash for the safety of the dog e. The types of search used by the SSD team are free search and systematic search. Free search is working the dog on a loose search pattern, letting the dog search on its own with minimal control, except to keep the dog in sight and keep it working. Systematic search concentrates on specific areas or points of interest to ensure the area is completely searched. The handler directs the dog to these points and may present certain items if they feel the dog did not adequately search it.

f. The following systems and definitions will be used in the scenarios given for certification: (1) The rummage search should be done as rapidly as possible. (2) The lowrisk searchmore thorough than a rummage searchincorporates free search and then systematic search to cover the area.

(3) The highrisk searcha very thorough and methodical search of an areais based on intelligence given for that specific scenario
(4) Some of the key points of certification for the SSD team are that the majority of searches will be completed offleash, with the exception of ACP vehicle searches. The handler must ensure that all areas are searched completely and must notify the evaluator if an area cannot be searched due to safety or inability of the dog. If a handler fails to completely search an area, the team fails the exercise and must be retested in that area. The dog is not discouraged from urinating or defecating in the search area unless it is indoors. The maximum search time is 40 minutes under ideal conditions with a 10 minute break. The handler must be able to brief to the person in charge of the search, the capabilities, limitations, and security procedures to take if the team comes under contact or have an indication during the certification.

g. A trainup period with validation must be conducted within 4 weeks of a team's arrival into a theater of operations. The training time will be used to introduce the team to the various types of explosive substances that are unique to the area. In addition to training, the time allows the team to become acclimatized to the environment. After some trainup time, all teams must successfully complete validation of the new explosives introduced before they are considered operational.

E7. Specialized search dog training aids
A variety of explosive training aids are needed to maintain proficiency.
a. Many different explosive compounds are in use today, and the explosives used in homemade bombs may range
from common household materials to the most sophisticated military or commercial compounds. Nearly all explosives have certain identifiable elements that are found in at least 1 of the explosives used for training aids. The SSDs trained to detect these explosives can also detect most other explosives. The handler must develop an understanding of what odors the SSD is able to detect, for example, the explosives substance rather than containers, wrappings, tapes, or other
material which may be present. The following types of explosives are authorized for training SSD teams:
(1) Commercial dynamite. (2) Gelatin (3) Ammonium nitrate (AN). (4) Military dynamite. (5) Water gel (TOVEX). (6) Trinitrotoluene (TNT). (7) Smokeless powder. (8) Composition 4 plastic explosive (C4). (9) British plastic explosive number (No.) 4 (PE4). (10) Semtex H. (11) Ammonia Nitrate (AN) mixed with fuel oil (ANFO). (12) AN mixed with sugar (ANS). (13) Detonating cord. (14) Artillery rounds. (15) Mortar rounds. (16) Small arms ammunition. (17) Potassium chlorate.
(18) Sodium chlorate.

(19) Weapons. b. All of the explosives and associated items listed should be available to the SSD team to use for training. Each of these items should be used to maintain the SSDs proficiency at 95 percent or better on each of the items. The general rule is to use any type of firearm, ammunition, or explosive varying the amount and type from day to day. Special Text (ST) 202310, dated Oct 2004 provides an additional break down of the characteristics and types of explosives used to train the SSD. The handler must develop in depth knowledge of what type of explosives is being used and how these explosives are constructed in devices.

E8. Mine detector dog certification a. Team certification, validation, and testing are to ensure the proficiency of each individual dog team. The MDD
will conduct a formal certification process that consists of searching for both buried and surface laid landmines in these scenarios area search, route search, and minefield extraction.

b. The minimum certification standard of detection for MDD is zero misses with no more than 1 false responses. c. Failure to maintain a 95 percent training proficiency after a 35 consecutive day period will result in decertification of the team.

d. Each handler and dog will be certified as a team using the team concept that 1 handler and 1 dog certified. The certification will be performed using appropriate equipment.

e. The dog team must demonstrate the ability to detect the presence of a mine and indicate the presence of both old
(buried at least 2 months) and freshly laid mines (buried 2 hours prior to certification by the certifying authority) on which it has been trained and give a positive response to the handler.

f. The dog must be able to clear a minimum of 300 meters using the route clearance method, and must also be able to clear a 1meter safe distance on the shoulders of the route technique without showing signs of fatigue or loss in concentration. The MDD team must search a minimum of a 1meter by 50meter area using the minefield extraction technique without showing signs of fatigue or loss in concentration.

g. Upon completion of the certification process, the team is required to test once a week and revalidate every 3
months in accordance with engineer MWD program manager policies.

h. Obedience demonstrates the dog's ability to react immediately to commands from its handler are evaluated during the MDD certification. On command from the handler, the dog must execute the commands and movements required for a MDD. The team must be fully obedient to the following commands, HEEL, SIT, STAY, COME, LEAVE, SEEK, TOUCH, BACK, and AWAY. These commands must be executed when the dog is located at the handler's side HEEL, SIT, STAY. The team is also required to conduct the same commands at a distance of 10 feet. Only 1 physical correction per 4 commands is allowed. The command STAY is rated critical, commands SIT, and HEEL are rated semicritical.

i. The dog must demonstrate the ability to search a minimum of 300 meters using the echelon technique without showing signs of fatigue or loss in concentration.

j. The handler's performance will also be assessed during the certification process. The certification authority will judge the handler's ability to interpret his/her dog's performance in all the above conditions. The certification authority will check the handler for safe operating procedures in accordance with unit standard operating procedures. These procedures include use of search pattern, utilization of wind direction, environmental conditions, and assessment of MWD behavior. The handler will have to maintain safe distances between elements, remain in safe areas at all times, MWD must remain in safe areas during breaks, rewards dog in safe areas, alerts all to MWD indication, and conveys location to manual clearance personnel.

k. A team failing to pass a test will not immediately be retested until a 90day training period has been conducted.

Decertification standards will apply to the dog team. If a handler and a dog have passed the certification process as a team, no other handler can handle the dog under the same certification. Certification of an MDD and handler is valid for 1 year (12 months) and is immediately nullified when
(1) The yearly certification has elapsed. (2) A new handler is assigned to the dog. (3) The handler and dog have been separated or have not conducted training for 35 or more consecutive days for any reason.

(4) The dog and handler team fails to maintain the detection standards listed above. (5) The dog fails to give a positive response consistently. (6) The dog does not work under control of the handler. (7) After prolonged injury and/or sickness of the dog or handler (35 or more consecutive days). l. When a dog team's proficiency training has been interrupted for 35 or more consecutive days for any reason, full recertification of the team by a certification authority is required. If a team fails to pass the test, they will be retested after 90 days of retraining. If the team fails to pass the second test, the team will be retested the final time after an additional 90 days. If the team fails the third and final test, they cannot be expected to detect mines or explosive hazards consistently and should not be allowed to retest or deploy. After the third failure the team will be reevaluated for possible reteaming of dog and handler.

m. Decertified MDD teams will not be used in any official capacity encompassing detection utilization. The team must be exempt from all duties that may interfere with the proficiency training requirements, and will be authorized to be recertified only after retraining has been completed and a validation has been conducted prior to recertification.

n. Recertification may be required any time the provost marshal, installation commander, certification authority, or immediate commander in the chain of command has reason to doubt the teams reliability.

o. The MDD team will be required to complete an intheatre validation prior to beginning military operations. The intheatre validation team should consist of an NCOIC, officer in charge, or a qualified MWD handler not affiliated with the unit. The MDD teams will have a minimum of 4 weeks of intheater trainup that will also include the validation to enable the teams to train on explosives and mines that are unique to that country. It also gives the teams the opportunity to adapt to environmental conditions. The intheater training minefield requirement is a field that has been aged for a minimum of 2 months. The validation process provides the intheater commanders with the reliability and confidence that the dog teams meet required operational detection standards.

E9. Mine detector dog training aids a. Procurement of explosive training aids for the MWDs is the responsibility of the unit commander. Inventories of the explosive training aids will be conducted the same way the military police conduct inventory check of explosive training aids.

b. Procurement of mines and explosives for the MWDs is the responsibility of the unit commander. Inventory of the mines and explosives will be made initially by primary and alternate custodians prior to emplacement into the minefield.

c. A 100 percent hands on inventory will be conducted every time there is a change of primary custodian. d. Monthly hands on inventory will be on all mines not emplaced in the minefield. All buried mines in the minefield will be inventoried monthly by utilizing a mine detector and a minefield emplacement diagram which verifies exact location and type of mine.

e. The monthly inventory will be conducted by a disinterested person in the grade of E7 or higher who is a p p o i n t e d ,  i n  w r i t i n g ,  b y  t h e  u n i t  c o m m a n d e r .

H i g h  s e c u r i t y  h a s p s .  M i l i t a r y  S p e c i f i c a t i o n s MILH43905 or MILH29181A. Hasps and staples for lowsecurity padlocks which are of heavy pattern steel, securely fastened to the structure with smoothheaded bolts, rivets, or welding to prevent removal.

Locks Locks should be considered as delay devices only, not as positive bars to unauthorized entry, since any lock can be defeated by expert manipulation or force. Certain locks, such as high or medium security padlocks, provide excellent protection when used in conjunction with a high security hasp. Hasps installed for protection of AA&E will provide protection comparable to that given by the lock used. Determination of "comparable protection" will be addressed to the DOD Lock Program Technical Manager, Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory, Code L56, 560 Center Drive, Port Hueneme, CA 930434328. The NAPEC high security shrouded hasp (MILH29181A) is approved for use with the high security padlock to secure all categories of AA&E. The hasp has a cover that protects the lock from cutting or hammer tools and inclement weather. It should be used to secure Category I and II AA&E storage facilities. When replacement of a hasp on Category III, IV, or uncategorized AA&E is necessary, this hasp should also be used. The Natick high security hasp (MILH43905) is a high security hasp that also is approved for protection of Category III and IV AA&E when used with an approved high security padlock. Hasp, pintype, locking "T" is a hasp that was authorized previously to secure ammunition storage magazines. Magazines were secured using the installed locking bar in conjunction with a "T" pin and high security padlock. The locking "T" hasp does not provide adequate security for sensitive AA&E. It must be replaced with a high security hasp to enhance security. It will not be used to secure Category I and II ammunition storage facilities. Another lock is the cable seal lock. Once locked, any force exerted to separate the lockpoint from the lockbody strengthens the connection. Such locks are not approved for use in securing storage facilities containing AA&E. The same restriction applies to d below. A complementary device to locks is the No. 5 American Wire Gauge wire twist. This is a Ushaped wire place in the hasp along with the shackle and twisted tightly in place. Another device is a wire cable of a thickness equivalent to or larger than No. 5 wire. This is placed through the hasp, a metal sleeve slipped over it, and crimped into place. Builtin combination locks, meeting Underwriters Laboratories Standard 768, Group 1 (NSN 5340013757593) are approved for use on GSAapproved Class 5 vault doors and GSAapproved Class 5 weapons containers storing unclassified material and unclassified AA&E.

## Program Manager, Military Working Dog (Mwd Program Manager) The Name Given To The Senior Manager Of Mwd Teams Within The Hqs Of Each Acom, Ascc, And Dru.

QUICKTRANS
Longterm contract airlift service within continental United States (CONUS) for the movement of cargo in support of the logistic system for the military Services (primarily the Navy and Marine Corps) and Defense agencies (DOD 5100. 76M).

Required operational capability (ROC)
A requirements document that the combat developer prepares with input from the training developer in coordination with the material developer, logistician, and manpower and personnel planner. The ROC is a concise statement of the minimum essential operational, RAM, technical personnel and manpower, training, safety, health, human factors engineering, logistical, and cost information to start full scale development or procurement of a material system.

Restricted area Any area to which entry is subject to special restrictions or control for security reasons or to safeguard property or material. This does not include those designated areas over which aircraft flight is restricted. Restricted areas may be of different types. The type depends on the nature and varying degree of importance, from a security standpoint, of the security interest or other matter contained therein.

a. Exclusion area. A restricted area containing
(1) A security interest or other matter of such nature that access to the area constitutes, for all practical purposes, access to such security interests or matter; or
(2) A security interest or other matter of such vital importance that proximity resulting from access to the area is treated equal to (1) above.

b. Limited area. A restricted area containing a security interest or other matter, in which uncontrolled movement will permit access to such security interest or matter; access within limited areas may be prevented by escort and other internal restrictions and controls.

c. Controlled area. That portion of a restricted area usually near or surrounding an exclusion or limited area. Entry to the controlled area is restricted to authorized personnel. However, movement of authorized personnel within this area is not necessarily controlled. Mere entry to the area does not provide access to the security interest or other matter within the exclusion or limited area. The controlled area is provided for administrative control, safety, or as a buffer zone for security in depth for the exclusion or limited area. The proper commander establishes the degree of control of movement Ride awhilewalk awhile method A law enforcement or security patrolling technique. The MWD team patrols for a period of time in a vehicle and then dismounts for an appropriate period of time to patrol an area on foot. This method increases the potential area the team can cover, as well as allowing the team to concentrate their foot patrols in especially critical areas.

Risk The degree or likelihood of loss of an asset. Factors that determine risk are the value of the asset to its user in terms of mission criticality, replace ability, and relative value and the likelihood of aggressor activity in terms of the attractiveness of the asset to the aggressor, the history of or potential for aggressor activity, and the vulnerability of the asset.

Risk analysis Method of examining various risk factors to determine the risk value of likelihood of resource loss. This analysis will be used to decide the level of security warranted for protection of resources.

Risk factors Elements that make up the total degree of resource loss liability. Factors to be considered in a risk analysis include the importance of the resource to mission accomplishment; the cost, volume, criticality and vulnerabilities of the resources; and the severity of threats to the resources.

Risk level An indication of the degree of risk associated with an asset based on risk analysis. Risk levels may be Levels I, II, or III, which correspond to low, medium, and high.
