U.S. Marine Corps Cpl. Zachary Phillips, military working dog (MWD) handler with Marine Corps Installations East-Marine Corps Base (MCB) Camp Lejeune, conduct bite training with MWD Csonti during building search training on MCB Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, Nov. 7, 2025. Walking past the memorials at the kennels each day, Phillips reflects on the handlers and dogs who served before him. Phillips and Csonti rehearse locating threats and pursuing potential perpetrators, sharpening their instincts for real-world law enforcement and security scenarios. The training also reinforces that the use of military working dogs falls under the same use of force guidelines as any other weapon. (U.S. Marine Corps video by Lance Cpl. Alyssa J. DeCrane)
