    U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Julian Benjamin, left, 100th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, holds on to MWD Kairo as he grips onto a bite suit worn by Staff Sgt. Cameron Gilbert, 100th SFS MWD trainer, as part of water confidence training in a pool at RAF Mildenhall, England, Nov. 12, 2025. This was the first time it has been conducted at RAF Mildenhall and the tri-base area. The training strengthens the overall readiness and force projection capability through building MWDs’ confidence in the water, preparing these vital assets to operate in unpredictable terrain and bolstering the 100th Air Refueling Wing’s ability to forward-deploy in austere environments.
