 Military dogs are recognized for their bravery and what's that a fourth phase in recruit training? All that and more this week on the core report. Recruits arriving at Marine Corps recruit depots in late November will be the first to go through an additional period of training. This period of training is known as fourth phase designed to better prepare them for success as Marines. So now you've got somebody who's been the drill instructor who's been intimately involved with his transformation and now they have another few days to talk to their new Marines as a fellow Marine about what it's going to be like as they get ready to go out and begin the rest of their journey as a Marine. Five military working dogs receive the nation's highest honor for military working dogs for extraordinary valor and service to America. Kappa, Alfie, Ranger, Kaffee and Gabe receive the American humane lilypope canine metal of courage Wednesday at the Rayburn house office building in Washington DC. Alfie and Ranger were Marine Corps working dogs. Alfie served two tours in Afghanistan clearing villages, making vital weapons and equipment finds and helping take out processing plans for illegal narcotics. Rangers served in Iraq and Afghanistan detecting improvised explosive devices having to retire following a heat stroke in 2012. That's all for this week on The Corps Report.
