U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Caleb M. Owens, front, and his military working dog, Dixie, lead a combined patrol of Republic of Korea and U.S. Marines June 11 during military operations on urbanized terrain training at the MOUT training center in Pohang, Republic of Korea. The two-day training evolution covered the basics of patrolling through an urban environment, reacting to enemy contact, crossing danger areas, as well as clearing out rooms, stairwells and buildings. The U.S. Marines are in Pohang to take part in the Korean Marine Exchange Program 14-8, a combined, small-unit training exercise, which enhances the combat readiness and interoperability of ROK-U.S. Marine Corps forces.
