U.S. Air Force Col. Edward Szczepanik, 6th Air Refueling Wing Commander, recognizes Senior Airman Jeremy Francisco, a military working dog handler assigned to the 6th Security Forces Squadron, during a game of catch at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida, July 18, 2025. As a patrol unit, Francisco and his K-9 partner, Golyko, respond to a wide range of situations at a moment’s notice. They rely on the rigorous training both handlers and Military Working Dogs receive to make quick, sound decisions that protect personnel and secure the installation.
