    A military working dog named 'Archie' poses for an official portrait against an American flag and what appears to be a United States Marine Corps flag. The German Shepherd is wearing a blue paracord collar with a camouflage-patterned ID tag bearing the name 'ARCHIE' and is draped with a camouflage military garment. This appears to be a formal K9 unit official photograph.

    Walter Reed National Military Medical Center facility dog Archie in a formal photo. Archie was given an honorary enlistment in June 2010 as a U.S. Marine Corps colonel. He retired from duty as an honorary USMC gunnery sergeant on March 7, 2017. Facility dogs are often given commissions or are enlisted into a service as a show of respect for their daily duties of comforting patients and staff in need, and for boosting morale and mental health. Archie crossed the Rainbow Bridge on March 28, 2018.
