4.0 Training Constraints
5.0 System Training Concept
Training for SSD Teams (MWD and Handler) focus on detecting, off-leash, the
presence of firearms, ammunition, or explosives, in all types of urban and
rural areas, including buildings (occupied, unoccupied, or derelict), routes,
vehicles, and outside areas. SSD teams must conduct a minimum of 6 hours of
training per week on detection skills.

Training PEDD Teams (MWD and Handler) focus on detecting the presence of
explosives and finding, pursuing, attacking, and holding, fleeing subjects, in
all types of urban and rural areas, including buildings (occupied, unoccupied,
or derelict), routes, vehicles, and outside areas. PEDD teams must conduct a
minimum of 8 hours of training per week: 4 hours per week dedicated to patrol
skills, and 4 hours per week dedicated to detection and/or additional
specialties.

Training PDDD Teams (MWD and Handler) focus on detecting the presence of drugs
and finding, pursuing, attacking, and holding, fleeing subjects, in all types
of urban and rural areas, including buildings (occupied, unoccupied, or
derelict), routes, vehicles, and outside areas. PDDD teams must conduct a
minimum of 8 hours of training per week: 4 hours per week dedicated to patrol
skills, and 4 hours per week dedicated to detection and/or additional
specialties.

The KM, plans NCO, or detachment NCOIC are required to conduct validations of
MWD teams being considered for certification before requesting certification
through the MACOM MWD program manager. Validations of certified MWD teams
should be conducted quarterly to verify the patrol and detection accuracy
rates recorded on DA Forms 2807-R and DA Form 3992-R during sustainment
training.

Certification is the process used to formally evaluate and identify MWD teams
that demonstrate reliability and maturity as a team. Certifications are valid
for 1 year after fulfilling certification standards.

5.1 New Equipment Training Concept (NET)

The department of the Air Force has procurement and initial training
responsibility for Military Working Dogs (MWDs) and MWD Handlers. The Air
Force has integrated material management responsibilities for all MWDs used by
the DoD components. The Department of the Air Force, as single manager for
the DoD MWD Program has assigned logistics management responsibilities to HQ
USAF/LEYS and functional user management responsibility to HQ AFSOP.
Lackland AFB TX, will:

5.2 Displaced Equipment Training (DET)

There will be no requirement for DET.

5.3 Doctrine and Tactics Training (DTT)

As new tactics, techniques, and procedures are developed through utilization
of PDDDs, PEDDs and SSDs in active operations, they must be incorporated into
doctrine and taught during initial training at Lackland AFB, as well as
through mobile training teams to soldiers PDDDs, PEDD and SSD handlers
assigned to units.

5.4 Training Test Support Package (TTSP)

DOD and AirForce has lead on current testing of PSeudo explosive and
FoExplosive scent testing. All future testing of equiptment, the traing
developer and Program Manager will collabaorate on a TTSP.

6.0 Institutional Training Domain

The U.S. Air Force serves as the single service manager of the DoD Dog Program
and is responsible for procurement, materiel management, and initial training
of MWDs and handlers for the DoD. The 341st TRS is the only DoD agency
authorized to procure MWDs. All 31B MWD handlers are trained at Lackland AFB.
The Mine Detection Dog Course at Ft. Leonard Wood, MO provides training in the
knowledge and skills needed to perform duties as mine detection dog and
handler teams.

6.1 Institutional Training Concept and Strategy

PDDD/PEDDs are trained in separate programs from their handlers at the 341st
TRS. Training is conducted at the basic level for both the handler and the
dog. (Training is not intended to prepare either the handler or the dog for
employment immediately after permanent assignment.) Upon completion of
training and certification, PEDD handlers are awarded Additional Skill
Identifier (ASI) Z6.

SSD teams are recognized as certified upon graduation from initial training,
because the program requires the handler and dog to be trained together as a
team during initial training. Upon graduation, the team is trained to a basic
standard; it may require additional training in service-specific tasks prior
to deployment, and may undergo re-certification as required by the unit
command.

MDD teams are recognized as certified upon graduation from initial training,
because the program requires the handler and dog to be trained together as a
team during initial training.

Mandatory training is provided by the local VCO to all MWD handlers upon
initial assignment and annually thereafter on care/maintenance of MWDs.

The Mine Detection Dog (MDD) Course provides training in the knowledge and
skills needed to perform duties as mine detection dog and handler team.
Training includes safety procedures; maintenance of a MDD (health/welfare of
the dog), maintenance of the kennel and equipment; principles of conditioning
of the MDD, proficiency of the dog teams, and operaional use of dog MDD Teams.
Soldiers are instructed on methods supporting maneuver units against hostile
forces by detecting and giving wanrning of landmines, UXO's and other caualty
producing devices for area, route, and railway clearance, route
reconnaissance, and casualty evacuation at the tactical through theater
levels. These teams can also be used to position Special Forces into
observaiton and ambush points.

7.0 Operational Training Domain

The following sections (7.1 thru 7.1.3.3) explain the Operational Training
Domain requirements for the MWD.

7.1 Operational Training Concept and Strategy

Sustainment training is mandatory for all MWD teams in garrison and while
deployed. Without positive reinforcement for performing a task correctly, the
MWD will lose proficiency in performing the task and the skill will
deteriorate rapidly.

The minimum sustainment training standards for all MWDs are:

Dual-purpose military working dog (PEDD/PDDD).Conduct a minimum of 8 hours of

training per week; 4 hours per week dedicated to patrol skills and 4 hours per
week should be dedicated to detection skills.

Single purpose military working dog (MDD/SSD).Conduct a minimum of 6 hours per

week on single purpose skills and PDs must receive a minimum of 4 hours of
patrol sustainment training each week. MWD handlers will record and maintain
all training conducted with their MWD on forms approved for use by ST 20-23-12
for MDD and ATTP 3-39.34 (FM 3-19.17) for SSD/PEDD/PDDD and PD. All handlers
will maintain a training and utilization folder (which is also used as a
probable cause folder for Law Enforcement handlers) that highlights the
proficiency’s and deficiencies of their MWD.

On-the-job training of dogs to perform additional MWD skills that are not part
of certification standards is prohibited.

Upon graduation from initial training, the SSD team is trained to a

basicstandard and may require additional training in service-specific tasks
prior to deployment. They may undergo recertification as required by unit
command. All SSD teams are required to complete an in-theatre validation
prior to beginning military operations. This validation should be conducted
by a supervisor of handlers trained in the MWD specialty being validated.
The SSD teams will have a minimum of 4 weeks train up in the theatre of
operation and conduct a validation using local training aids. This enables
the teams to condition the SSDs on targets not available in the US, gives the
teams opportunity to work the SSDs within the theatre of operations, climate,
soil type, routes, TTPs and other conditions not available in the US.

Recertification is an annual requirement for all MWD teams that have already
received initial certification. All recertification’s will follow the same
procedures as the initial certification. If any of the following conditions
apply, the team is decertified and will be required to recertify sooner than
the annual requirement:

7.1.1.4 Training Facilities and Land

A Standard Kennel Facility is required for all MWDs. Training interaction of
the MWD/handler team and supported units over extended periods (days) is
essential. Handlers improve their preparation including logistics for the
team, and improve their observation of the MWD needs and capabilities and
improvement areas. Units adapt their expectations of and support for the
MWD/handler team.

This Facility allows for the proper support of the operation of the kennel,
and the care feeding, and training of all assigned MWDs.

An MWD kennel complex consists of kennels, a support building, an obedience

course, an exercise area, an MWD break area, exterior storage, parking areas,
drives, and walks. The entire complex should be enclosed, at the minimum,
with a heavy-duty, 8-foot-high chain-link fence with three strands of straight
wire (no barbed) at the top to prevent an MWD from climbing or jumping out. A
10-foot (minimum) vehicle gate that can be padlocked is to be installed to
allow for food deliveries to the kennel and other access requirements. A
personnel entry gate that is visible from the KM's office is also required.
The personnel gate should have a cipher lock and a notification buzzer that
sounds in the KM's office, the obedience course, and the kennel. The buzzer
in the kennel should have the capability to be turned on when personnel are in
the area and turned off to allow the MWDs to rest when personnel are absent.
All gates should be self-closing and self-latching.

The kennel area provides the daily living environment for the MWDs, giving
each MWD a private place for eating and resting. Kennel areas should be built
to accommodate large-breed dogs and designed as modular structures to allow
for the future expansion of runs. All minimum requirements for kennel
construction and planning can be found in FM 3-19.17

7.1.1.4.1 Ranges
Training on weapons firing ranges is essential for MWDs to become proficient
and steady under gunfire. This can often be accomplished by arranging for
handlers to take MWDs to weapon ranges of different units. MWD's must be
proficient and not be deterred from attacking agitators during gunfire
and MWDs must not attack handlers during gunfire. The firing of weapons
assigned to handlers should be done with MWDs present whenever possible. MWDs
can be desensitized with the firing of many different types of weapons. In
response to the MWD’s reaction to the sound of gunfire, it may be necessary
for handlers to use counterconditioning techniques until the desired
proficiency is achieved. Counterconditioning techniques include starting at
distances of 300 meters and slowly bringing the gunfire closer to the MWD or,
as safety allows, bringing the MWD closer to the gunfire. The goal is for the
MWD not to bark or show signs of aggression when the handler fires assigned
weapons. This can be a slow process that takes several exposures.
7.1.1.4.2 Maneuver Training Areas (MTA)

7.1.1.4.3 Classrooms
To effectively train and sustain an MWD's capability they need to be exposed
and trained in a variety of different facilities and locations such as but not
limited to: barracks, wharehouses, vehicles, classrooms, schools, office
buildings, open areas, clubs, bars, dining facilities and a number of
different outdoor settings. These locations will not require any alterations
for training of the MWD.

7.1.1.4.4 CTCs
Whenever posible MWD's should be included into the different training centers
in order to acclimate the MWDto working in close proximaty to other friendly
personnel, climates, situations and vehicles. Handler and units will also gain
a better understanding of the capabilites, uses and needs of a MWD.

7.1.1.4.5 Logistics Support Areas

There is no requirement currently for new facilities to be constructed below
is only what is required for logistical support to the MWD's Kennel

An MWD kennel complex consists of kennels, a support building, an obedience

course, an exercise area, an MWD break area, exterior storage, parking areas,
drives, and walks. Utility services are often limited at the site due to the
location. Construction should provide the following utilities:

Water (potable, with backflow prevention).

Sanitary sewer.

Electricity.

Network and communication service.

Other systems, according to local procedures.

The entire complex should be enclosed, as a minimum, with a heavy-duty, 8-
foot, chain-link fence;privacy screen or net; and a top guard. Security
lighting for the area should be according to local policy. Warning signs will
be posted on the exterior fence and buildings of the MWD kennel and exercise
area. Signs should contain the following words: “DANGER—OFF LIMITS—MILITARY
WORKING DOG AREA.” Personnel approaching the kennel area should be able to see
and read the warning signs under normal daylight conditions from a distance of
50 meters.
Fan enclosed, 400-square-foot exterior storage building is required to store
maintenance equipment, portable kennels, and obstacles. Provide paved walkways
to all areas. When designing kennel areas, consider creating a one-wayMWD
traffic system. To prevent confrontations between the MWDs, avoid situations
that allow MWDs to
meet head on.

An MWD break area (10 by 20 feet) should be located near the kennels. A break
area allows the
handler to release the MWD immediately after exiting the kennels or before
entering the kennels so that the MWD can relieve himself. The exercise area is
a space where the MWD can be released without the handler being present. The
obedience course area should not be used as the exercise area, as it would
conflict with training objectives.The exercise area should be visually
separated from the obedience course to prevent MWDs from being distracted
during training. The exercise area should be grassed, hazard-free, and graded
slightly for drainage purposes.

Administrative areas have heating, ventilation, and exhaust systems; general-

purpose lighting; and power outlets in all spaces. Provide phone, fax, and
local area network connections to support each area and hot and cold water to
all latrines, sinks, and showers. Construct the facility to meet all fire and
safety requirements. Since MWDs are likely to visit the administration area at
some point, finishes should be of durable material, require minimal
maintenance, and be easily repaired or replaced in case of damage.

The KM’s office serves as the nerve center for the complex. Ideally, the
office should be located at the front of the administrative area with exterior
windows that view the entry gate to the complex. The trainer’s office should
provide workspace for two people. The area for the handlers is an open area
for general office functions. It provides space three or more common
workstations, depending on the size of the kennel, for handlers to update
records and complete daily reports. As a general rule, one workstation should
be available for every three handlers assigned to an MWD section.

The controlled-substance storage room is inside the administrative area is

reenforced and alarmed for security and allows sufficient room for the safe in
which controlled-substance training aids are stored.

A veterinary treatment room is used to perform health care and first aid for
MWDs since many
locations do not have veterinary treatment areas in close proximity to the
kennels. In order to maintain sanitary conditions, treatment rooms require a
higher degree of cleanliness and durability than the rest of the support
building. Basic finish requirements consist of—
Seamless floors with an integral base.
Washable walls.
Painted gypsum board ceilings.
Cabinets faced with plastic laminate.
Solid-surface countertops.

The tack room (108 square feet) is for the storage of extra MWD equipment,
such as bite suits and portable kennels.

The food storage room normally stores a 30-day supply of food for the MWDs.
The room is adjacent to the kennels, with an exterior entry.

The multipurpose room (196 square feet) serves as a combination conference

room, classroom, and break room.

The kennel area provides the daily living environment for the MWDs, giving
each MWD a private
place for eating and resting. Kennel areas should be built to accommodate
large-breed dogs and designed as modular structures to allow for the future
expansion of runs.
There are three types of kennel areas—indoor, outdoor, and indoor-outdoor. The
preferred standard is the combination indoor-outdoor kennel; however, there
are factors that must be taken into consideration when selecting the kennel
type. The kennel should be separate from the administrative building by at
least 20 feet. This provides separation between different functions and aids
in noise control. An indoor-outdoor kennel simply implies that there is an
interior run and an exterior run which are linked to each MWD living area. A
guillotine type door connects the interior run and the exterior run.

The mechanical room includes the water heater with the capacity to meet the
demands of the kennel and allow for the location of electrical panels.

The food preparation area is where feedings are prepared and feeding
pans/bowls are stored and
cleaned.

The obedience course plays an important role in maintaining MWD agility and
stamina, reinforcing
obedience and proficiency training. The course should be grassed and free of
hazards (trees, large rocks,
holes, burrs) that may be harmful to MWDs or handlers.
The above is described in-dept ATTP 3-39.34.

10570.1A, 11 December, 2011, it is the joint responsibility of the VCO and the
Kennel Master to regularly discuss the medical examination, training
proficiency, and physical fitness status of each MWD. Also, VCOs must ensure
that the medical deployment categories of all MWDs are updated at least
monthly or any time a medical condition develops that warrants a change in the
deployment category, and that this information is concurrently provided to the
MWD unit commander.

7.1.2 Architectures and Standards Component

7.1.2.1 Operational View (OV)

Commanders base decisions to employ MWDs on the operational environment,

potential hazards, and threats. There are a variety of MWDs in the U.S. Army
inventory. These MWDs possess specific capabilities and limitations that
should be considered by a commander before MWD teams are deployed.

The types of missions that an MWD team can support are limited by the type of
training and certification that the MWD has received. The Kennel master
team should establish a TSP that would make the below operational domains
realistic as possible. MWD teams support full spectrum operations as described
in FM 3-0, including—

• Offensive operations.

• Defensive operations.

• Stability operations.

• Civil support operations.

Offensive operations-Commanders can incorporate the use of MWD teams to assist
in identifying residual hazards to friendly forces. MWD teams may be employed
to search and secure seized or captured enemy resources and equipment to
preclude their use or benefit by irregular or criminal elements.

Defensive operations-Commanders can integrate MWD teams to clear routes and

roadways of hazards during mobile defense operations. MWD teams are employed
with security forces and integrated and layered with other sensors to identify
threats, provide early warning, and cover gaps in defensive cover or among
defensive positions.

Stability operations-Commanders may integrate MWD teams to control the freedom

of movement in an area of operation at checkpoints and for traffic or access
control points to detect, deter, and prevent the illicit movement of people or
materials. MWD teams can assist host nation (HN) security forces who are
conducting civil control missions or supporting governance and the election
process. MWD teams may also assist at border control points to detect
contraband (such as unlawful human traffic, narcotics, or explosives) and
protect HN economic systems.

Civil support operations-When authorized and directed, U.S. Army MWD teams
provide support to local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies; the
Department of State (DOS), and the U.S. Secret Service (USSS). The U.S. Army
MWD program may also provide MWD teams to support ongoing law enforcement
activities, such as the control of U.S. borders during counterdrug operations
and in authorized law enforcement counterdrug operations as defined in
Department of Defense instruction (DODI) 5525.10. The use of DOD assets to
enforce civilian law (federal and state)—except in cases and under
circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or by the act of
Congress—are prohibited under Section 1385, Title 18, United States Code (18
USC 1835). Installation commanders are authorized under DODD 3025.12 to
provide explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) service in support of civil
authorities. The explosive detection capability provided by trained patrol
explosive detection dogs (PEDDs) and specialized search dogs (SSDs) is
considered to be an aspect of EOD support.

7.1.3.1 Management

7.1.3.1.1 Strategic Planning

The development and fielding of system the MWD will support Army and Training
Transformation within operational units and is consistent with the guidance
found in the following documents:

7.1.3.1.2 Concept Development and Experimentation (CD&E)

The U.S. Air Force In Accordance With (IAW) Department of Defense (DOD)
5200.31 is designated the Executive Agent for the DOD for all Military Working

Dogs(MWD) within the Program. Any Concept Development and Experimentation will
go through the Air Force.

7.1.3.1.3 Research and Studies

There are currently three ongoing explosive odor tests being conducted under
the supervision of the DOD, which are:

1. Psuedo scent testing contracted to

Indiana University Indiana Purdue University (IUPUI) to determine the

viability of replacing real explosives with pseudo explosive scents.
2. A similar test is being conducted at LAckland Afb to verify or contest
results from the above test.

3. Research to reduce the number of explosives by determining the common

componiate in different explosives.
The outcome of this testing testing may change the training aids, which would
lessen the restrictions of working with explosives or the amount of
explosives.

7.1.3.1.4 Policy and Guidance

The U.S. Air Force In Accordance With (IAW) Department of Defense (DOD)
5200.31 is designated the Executive Agent for the DOD for all Military Working

Dogs(MWD) within the Program. IAW Air Force Instruction (AFI) 23-126 IP, Army
Regulation (AR) 700-81, Operational Naval Instruction (OPNAVINST) 5585.2B, and
Marine Corps Order (MCO) 10570.1A, the Air Force has the responsibility to
procure all MWDs.

7.1.3.1.5 Requirements Generation

This STRAP is in support of the Capability Production Document For the Family
of Military Working Dogs (FoMWD). The CPD mitigates capability gaps which
trace from the Explosive Hazard Defeat (EHD) Initial Capabilities Document
(ICD) approved on 22 May 2006 with a Joint Requirements Oversight Council
Memorandum (JROCM) # 095-06, with a Joint Potential Designator (JPD) of JROC
Interest, the Integrated Unit Base Installation Protection (IUBIP) Detect,
Assess and Defend (DAD) ICD, dated, 2 October 2009, Catalog of Approved

7.1.3.2 Evaluation
The following sections (7.1.3.2 thru 7.1.3.2.4) identify and describe the
evaluation process required for the MWD in the Operational Training Domain.

7.1.3.2.1 Quality Assurance (QA)

The regional MWD Program manager conducts annual certification of MWD teams.

7.1.3.2.2 Assessments
Th

e Provost Marshal and/or Commander assesses MWD teams monthly by observing

training
The kennel master team conducts quarterly validations.

Recertification is an annual requirement for all MWD teams that have already
received initial certification. All recertification’s will follow the same
procedures as the initial certification. If any of the following conditions
apply, the team is decertified and will be required to recertify sooner than
the annual requirement:

All SSD teams are required to complete an in-theatre validation prior to

beginning military operations. This validation should be conducted by a
supervisor of handlers trained in the MWD specialty being validated. The SSD
teams will have a minimum of 4 weeks train up in the theatre of operation and
conduct a validation using local training aids. This enables the teams to
condition the SSDs on targets not available in the US, gives the teams
opportunity to work the SSDs within the theatre of operations, climate, soil
type, routes, TTPs and other conditions not available in the US.

7.1.3.2.3 Customer Feedback

Feedback from the user will consist of the following:
7.1.3.2.4 Lessons Learned/After-Action Reviews (AARs)
Lessons learned and AARs will be used for further development for the MWDS
training materials and instruction requirements
