00:01.710 --> 00:03.043
- [Officer] Run!

00:05.541 --> 00:08.291
(dramatic music)

00:18.312 --> 00:19.232
- [Man In Red] Get out of my country

00:19.232 --> 00:21.315
you are not welcome here!

00:22.329 --> 00:23.329
Allah Akbar!

00:24.953 --> 00:26.323
- So this is this regional training center

00:26.323 --> 00:28.993
for pre-deployment out here in Guam,

00:28.993 --> 00:33.160
and here we just train all the canine teams and pack out.

00:36.099 --> 00:38.026
And they come here for their pre-deployment

00:38.026 --> 00:41.108
^if they're deploying, or not deploying, either way

00:41.108 --> 00:43.592
^if they're just here for sustainment

00:43.592 --> 00:46.472
^they come here and we pretty much train them

00:46.472 --> 00:48.445
in everything that they need to know

00:48.445 --> 00:52.278
when they actually do go overseas, if they do.

00:53.159 --> 00:55.492
(dog pants)

00:56.898 --> 00:59.898
(heavy metal music)

01:07.834 --> 01:08.833
So when they come here,

01:08.833 --> 01:11.131
they get exposed to combat operations,

01:11.131 --> 01:14.986
deployed environment situations, field conditions

01:14.986 --> 01:17.865
and then they get to do some things

01:17.865 --> 01:19.537
that they may have never done with their dogs

01:19.537 --> 01:21.316
like put it out there with the personnel

01:21.316 --> 01:25.483
and be integrated into full man fire teams or squads.

01:29.266 --> 01:31.791
^- Some of the scenarios that we run are pretty long,

01:31.791 --> 01:33.858
^the weather out here is very hot and humid

01:33.858 --> 01:37.608
^we usually have on gear, all the guns, helmet

01:38.339 --> 01:41.311
^a lot of the times, sometimes it's at night

01:41.311 --> 01:43.772
and you'll be out there for multiple hours

01:43.772 --> 01:46.971
running different things, sometimes continuously

01:46.971 --> 01:51.138
and sometimes it's hard, you're hot, you're tired,

01:51.621 --> 01:53.871
the dogs are hot and tired,

01:53.920 --> 01:55.150
you gotta keep them motivated

01:55.150 --> 01:58.053
as well as be looking out for their well-being.

01:58.053 --> 01:59.074
I think that's been the toughest part

01:59.074 --> 02:01.466
is just trying to maintain all that

02:01.466 --> 02:03.765
while still accomplishing the set task

02:03.765 --> 02:06.182
for those training scenarios.

02:07.387 --> 02:09.804
(epic music)

02:17.418 --> 02:18.974
^- I highly encourage anybody that wants to go canine,

02:18.974 --> 02:21.290
^if you love dogs and you're willing to work

02:21.290 --> 02:24.030
^a lot of hours, not have many off days,

02:24.030 --> 02:28.113
canine's definitely a very beneficial job to have

02:28.116 --> 02:32.283
in the military and you get to save a lot of lives as well.

02:32.644 --> 02:34.804
- [Drago] Toughest part about this was probably night ops,

02:34.804 --> 02:37.880
^with this training dog, my counterparts, and the trainers

02:37.880 --> 02:40.297
^they were able to help me out

02:40.341 --> 02:42.779
^and I'd say that was probably the best part too

02:42.779 --> 02:45.171
'cause I was able to comprehend what was going on

02:45.171 --> 02:48.421
and fix it, and get on the right track.

02:48.770 --> 02:51.103
(man yells)

02:52.346 --> 02:55.782
^- The most fun I have is seeing the teams come through

02:55.782 --> 02:59.497
^and accomplishing and getting better every day.

02:59.497 --> 03:01.164
^That's my fun in it.

03:01.285 --> 03:04.211
Especially going out in the field and decoying

03:04.211 --> 03:07.764
and putting the suit on and getting bit by the dogs

03:07.764 --> 03:11.316
or even just setting up the section problems

03:11.316 --> 03:15.399
and watching the students think and work together

03:17.052 --> 03:19.931
with their dogs to become better and be one,

03:19.931 --> 03:22.931
that's one of the best parts for me.

03:29.289 --> 03:30.789
- He's a good boy.

03:31.053 --> 03:32.772
- [Gonzalez] The best thing about working with the handlers

03:32.772 --> 03:35.001
and the dogs is seeing the overall progression

03:35.001 --> 03:37.021
that they make throughout the entire course,

03:37.021 --> 03:39.018
so they may come here and they may be

03:39.018 --> 03:42.268
a pretty young dog team, a two-year dog

03:42.361 --> 03:45.944
and a green handler just out of tech school

03:45.961 --> 03:48.793
and they'll come here and we'll evaluate them

03:48.793 --> 03:51.231
that first day and by the time they're done with the course

03:51.231 --> 03:54.898
they'll have evolved into a better dog team.

03:56.015 --> 03:57.779
The worst part about it is when we say goodbye,

03:57.779 --> 04:00.612
they're lifelong friends out here.
