00:06.340 --> 00:08.451
the ideal you fight like you train is

00:08.451 --> 00:10.618
something instilled in service members

00:10.618 --> 00:12.729
throughout their career . The same is

00:12.729 --> 00:14.896
true for military working dog handlers

00:14.896 --> 00:16.951
and their canine counterparts . Each

00:16.951 --> 00:18.840
day is spent working on obedience

00:18.840 --> 00:21.062
training , bite work , she's gonna bite

00:21.062 --> 00:22.951
onto that , she's gonna hold that

00:22.951 --> 00:25.118
suspect right there and patrolling the

00:25.118 --> 00:27.007
base , every base has a different

00:27.007 --> 00:29.173
mission . Every base is unique . So 11

00:29.173 --> 00:31.007
base not might not have the same

00:31.007 --> 00:32.784
mission as another , but we all

00:32.784 --> 00:34.810
generally do the same aspect where

00:34.820 --> 00:36.764
searching vehicles , psychological

00:36.764 --> 00:38.890
deterrent stuff like that . So

00:38.900 --> 00:41.178
depending where you go , it can change ,

00:41.178 --> 00:43.289
but we train for all of it . Although

00:43.289 --> 00:45.344
thousands of miles from home station

00:45.344 --> 00:47.178
deployed handlers understand the

00:47.178 --> 00:49.400
importance of the necessary training to

00:49.400 --> 00:51.567
keep their partner alert . Besides the

00:51.567 --> 00:53.456
day to day work that the dogs are

00:53.456 --> 00:55.640
tasked to do while here is training

00:55.760 --> 00:57.927
takes up a better part of their time .

00:57.927 --> 00:59.871
We build on their capabilities and

00:59.871 --> 01:01.927
that's the dog's noses . We use them

01:01.927 --> 01:04.038
primarily for explosive detection and

01:04.038 --> 01:06.260
the amount of life that these dogs have

01:06.260 --> 01:08.482
saved over the years is it's phenomenal

01:08.482 --> 01:10.538
bond between a handler and their dog

01:10.538 --> 01:12.760
goes far beyond consistently training .

01:12.760 --> 01:14.900
It's a lasting connection . I believe

01:14.900 --> 01:17.020
it's a real rewarding job reporting

01:17.020 --> 01:19.380
from Southwest Asia . I'm senior Airman
