Small dogs, big mission
Master-at-Arms 2nd Class Jordan Morales stands next to Military Working Dog Orca at Naval Base San Diego, California, on December 12, 2019. The U.S. Navy utilizes small breeds to detect narcotics and explosives in small spaces, like narrow compartments on compact submarines, ships and aircraft carriers. The small breeds are bred in Europe and sent to the 341st Training Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, for the MWD handlers to qualify the dogs for narcotics detection in under 60 days before they are deployed to military bases all over the world. The 341 TRS provides skilled MWDs and trainers for the Department of Defense and other government agencies, such as the Transportation Security administration. (Courtesy Photo)
