It’s International Dog Day today 🐾
Military Working Dogs are pups with a job 🦮
From serving as scouts for special operations forces or sniffing out bombs for Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) technicians, they are vital to Allied forces. And next year, 🇬🇧 #UK pups from the 1st Military Working Dog Regiment will be tasked with supporting the #NATO Response Force, the Alliance’s high readiness crisis response force. There, these dogs will be responsible for supporting a multinational force, keeping NATO’s soldiers away from bomb threats.
While they may look soft and cuddly, military working Dogs are not pets. For military commanders, their mission is considered “no-fail”: if a fails to detect a hidden bomb, it could put both canine and human lives at risk. Thus, their training programs are long and intensive, preparing them to do their job without being distracted by humans.

Defender Europe 🛡
#DefenderEurope22, a 🇺🇸 #US led defensive exercise is taking place across #Europe. More than 3,000 U.S. and almost 6,000 multinational service members from 11 #NATO and partner nations are taking part.
The exercise scenario demonstrates the U.S. military's ability to rapidly deploy a large, combat-credible force of #soldiers and equipment from the United States to Europe, sharpening the readiness across the Alliance to deter any potential adversaries.
Exercise activities include multiple live-fire exercises, road marches and river crossings.
Together we are stronger 💪
Planning for Defender Europe 22 began in 2021 and is not in response to any specific threat or adversary
