 Soldiers of the 4th Stryker Brigade's 2nd Infantry Division trained for the unexpected. But what if they could smell danger before it hit them? Well, they can't. But Koba can. She's a chocolate Labrador retriever and a tactical explosive detection dog, or Ted. In a demonstration, Koba had to find an explosive scented pouch hidden somewhere in this area, and she didn't waste any time letting her handler know where danger might hide. They can look, okay, we have a known IED hotspot right here. We could stop this vehicle back here and deploy the dog and get out and clear that hotspot in a rapid efficient manner. Koba is a military working dog and a graduate of a three month training program. The dogs spend their first month learning the essentials, similar to basic training for soldiers. Then they meet their soldier handlers and perform classes together for two months. This brigade will be sending 25 soldiers to bonnet kennels to be trained in the near future. So it's whatever the leadership decides who will be coming, it's who will come. The dogs aren't exclusive to military police and are assigned to a variety of military occupational specialties. Reporting for the 4th Stryker Brigade's 2nd Infantry Division, I'm Sergeant Kyle Burns.
