CJTF-HOA, CLDJ K9 teams enable deployed missions
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Tyler Cisneros, Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa K9 military working dog handler, rewards Zecki, a patrol and explosives detector dog, during a MWD demonstration at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, Dec. 15, 2023. As regular training is vital to a MWD, rewards are also an important piece in training, as a way to encourage and enhance the bond between a dog and its handler. Camp Lemonnier hosts MWD demonstrations as part of its world-class support for tenant commands, service members and transient U.S. assets. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Allison Payne)
