 This looks a little bit complex. Service members deployed to Camp Lemonnier recently participated in canine tactical combat care training, camp veterinary services, and combined joint task force, Horn of Africa's Civil Affairs Veterinary Cell, teamed up to instruct medical personnel on the basics of treating an injured military working dog. Combining classroom lecture with hands-on training, service members were given tools to improve their medical skills. Increasing awareness and also improving the skills that some of these medics know they have but how it translates to an animal, to a canine specifically, definitely improves readiness. During the training, service members were advised on how to properly approach a working dog, safety measures to take when handling them, and steps to triage and implement life-saving measures when necessary. Hands-on training gave participants an opportunity to become familiar with basic canine anatomy while performing a general exam on a live working dog. Realistic training aids provided opportunities for participants such as practicing bandaging wounds, splinting fractures, CPR steps, and inserting intravenous catheters. Military working dogs are key to a dynamic team, playing a vital role in support of the warfighter. Reporting from Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, I'm Air Force Master Sergeant Sarah Madison.
