- [Cory] Why is it important to keep the dogs safe?
It's because not only they're an asset, but they're a
battle buddy, and that affects morale for the military
working dog units as well as the people around that
work with the dogs.
This is an exercise that is for doing DCON for military
working dogs.
[Soldier] If you do have any contact that's been used.
- [Cory] So DCON is decontamination of persons and equipment
and resources in an event they were exposed to
chemical, biological, radiological, or nuclear other
substances.
- [Soldier] Rob, you're cool.
- [James] In the Air Force, we our sea bearing training
annually, but in my 15 years we've never incorporated
military working dogs into that, so it's going to be a
great experience for not only the Army side but the
Air Force handlers.

- [Male Speaker] This isn't practiced often.
It's combining multiple elements as well as multiple
branches of the service, which is nice to use Air Force
and Army to come to together and collaborate and
continue to create high speed training.
In the future prepare chemical as well as security force
elements to better be prepared for any sort of event
or exposures, but this is going to be a great opportunity
for them moving forward to have this basis of training.
