KADENA AIR BASE, OKINAWA, Japan – Lance Cpl. Wilson Ferreira, a Queens, New York, native, greets his assigned military working dog, Poly, Feb. 4 before explosive detection training at the Kadena Passenger Terminal on Kadena Air Base. During the training, military working dog handlers used the dogs’ keen sense of smell to assist them with detecting odors of materials commonly used in explosives. The training ensured the Marines were proficient in handling and communicating with their military working dogs as they identified threats. Wilson is a military working dog handler with the K-9 section of the Provost Marshal’s Office, Headquarters & Support Battalion, Marine Corps Installations Pacific-Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, Japan.
