The Beginning

Military Dogs

The use of dogs by the U.S. military dates back to the Civil War, but it wasn’t until the early 2000s that canines became integral to various military operations.

These highly trained dogs can perform remarkable feats such as jumping from a helicopter and swimming 800 meters to shore, navigating 10 kilometers of rough terrain to complete a mission, and even detecting the difference between human and explosive odors in the chaos and noise of the battlefield.
