Tech. Sgt. Amadio Apilado, a Military Working Dog instructor, holds MWD Tery after training him in narcotics detection with the 341st Training Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, on March 6, 2023. MWD Tery is now stationed in Guam at Apilado’s hometown and implements the competencies he learned from Apilado. 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 341 TRS for the MWD handlers to qualify the dogs for narcotics detection in under 60 days. 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)
