After a hard day’s work, Lance Cpl. Adam Fox, an infantryman and dog handler with Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, plays a game of fetch with Cpl. Jett, an improvised explosive device detection dog, here, October 23. Fox, a 21-year-old native of Meriden, Conn., and Jett, a chocolate Labrador retriever, work together to protect Marines at their post from IED threats. The IED detection team spends up to 35 hours a week on various drills, honing their communications skills and Jett’s extraordinary detection abilities.
