that-- 7#a7 the #cdast ,training ,squadron1 #cgth ,training ,wing at ,lackland ,air ,force ,base provides highly trained military working dogs to the ,department of ,defense and other government agencies2 7#b7 in #bjaj1 the operational needs of the ,army for military working dogs increased without an increase in resources to train a sufficient number of dogs for the detection of improvised explosive devices at the #cdast ,training ,squadron2 7#c7 the ,army initiated the tactical explosive detection dog program in ,august #bjaj as a nontraditional military working dog program to train and field improvised explosive device detection dogs for use in ,afghanistan as part of ,operation ,enduring ,freedom2 7#d7 the tactical explosive detection dog program was created to reduce casualties from improvised explosive devices in response to an increase in the use of asymmetric weapons by the enemy2 7#e7 the tactical explosive detection dogs were a unique subset of military working dogs because the ,army selected and trained soldiers from deploying units to serve as temporary handlers for only the duration of deployment to ,operation ,enduring ,freedom2 7#f7 the tactical explosive detection dogs and their soldier handlers1 like other military working dog and handler teams1 formed strong bonds while training for combat and performing extremely dangerous improvised explosive device detection missions in service to the ,united ,states2 7#g7 the tactical explosive detection dog program was a nontraditional military working dog program that terminated in ,february #bjad2 7#h7 at the termination of the tactical explosive detection dog program in ,february #bjad1 neither ,united ,states law nor ,department of ,defense policy established an adoption order priority1 and ,department of ,defense policy only provided that military working dogs be adopted by former handlers1 law enforcement agencies1 and other persons capable of humanely caring for the animals2 7#i7 an ,august #bjaf report to ,congress by the ,air ,force entitled ,tactical ,explosive ,detector ,dog 7,,tedd7 ,adoption ,report concluded that the ,army had a limited transition window for the disposition of tactical explosive detection dogs and the lack of a formal comprehensive plan contributed to the disorganized disposition process for the tactical explosive detection dogs2 7#aj7 the ,august #bjaf report stated that1 in #bjad1 the ,army disposed of #bbi tactical explosive detection dogs2 7#aa7 #dj tactical explosive detection dogs were adopted by handlers1 #dg dogs were adopted by private individuals1 #gj dogs were transferred to ,army units1 #ag dogs were transferred to other government agencies1 #df dogs were transferred to law enforcement agencies1 and #i dogs were deceased2 7#ab7 the disposition of tactical explosive detection dogs was poorly executed1 proper procedures outlined in ,department of ,defense policy were ignored1 and1 as a result1 the former soldier handlers were not provided the opportunity to adopt their tactical explosive detection dogs2 7#ac7 the ,army should have deliberately planned for the disposition of the tactical explosive detection dogs and provided appropriate time to review and consider adoption applications to mitigate handler and civilian adoption issues2 7#ad7 section #cdb7;b7 of the ,national ,defense ,authorization ,act for ,fiscal ,year #bjaf 7,public ,law #aad-ib2 #abi ,stat4 #gic7 amended section #behc7;c7 of title #aj1 ,united ,states ,code1 to modify the list of persons authorized to adopt a

,congress has passed legislation that protects military working dogs1 promotes their welfare1 and recognizes the needs of their veteran handlers2 7#af7 ,congress continues to provide oversight of military working dogs to prevent a reoccurrence of the disposition issues that affected tactical explosive detection dogs2 7#ag7 former soldier handlers should be reunited with their tactical explosive detection dogs2 7#ah7 congressional recognition of the military service of tactical explosive detection dogs and their former soldier handlers is a small measure of gratitude this legislative body can convey2 7#ai7 over #d years have passed since the termination of the tactical explosive detection dog program2 7#bj7 ,congressman ,walter ,b4 ,jones has been a long-time advocate

,congressman ,walter ,b4 ,jones was a strong proponent of the ,wounded ,warrior ,service ,dog program1 which is a valuable program that helps wounded members of the ,armed ,forces manage and recover from post-traumatic stress2 7#bc7 the advocacy of ,congressman ,walter ,b4 ,jones for military working dogs is well known throughout the nonprofit community that supports military working dogs2 7#bd7 ,congressman ,walter ,b4 ,jones worked with the ,department of ,defense and the ,senate to update the language in the ,air ,force ,manual on ,military ,working ,dogs to clarify that military working dogs are not equipment and to indicates the true level of appreciation and respect the ,department of ,defense has for these valuable members of the military team2 7#be7 ,congressman ,walter ,b4

military working dogs as unsung heroes on the battlefield and in helping wounded warriors recover from physical and mental injuries2 7#b7 recognize the service of military working dogs and soldier handlers from the tactical explosive detection dog program2 7#c7 acknowledge that not all tactical explosive detection dogs were adopted by their former soldier handlers2 7#d7 encourage the ,army and

the sacrifices made by tactical explosive detection dogs and their soldier handlers in combat4 #ajii,t4 ,designation of ,department of ,defense strategic ,arctic ports 7a7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is

and ballistic missile programmes of the ,democratic ,people's ,republic of ,korea remain intact and the country continues to defy ,security ,council resolutions through a massive increase in illegal
