The Infantry Patrol Dog

The Infantry Patrol Dog provides the patrol leader with advance warning of a potential ambush invisible to the human eye. The scent of the terrorist is carried silently on the wind to the nostrils of the trained dog  –  from that moment the predator becomes the prey.

Where there is no impediment and in semi-tropical conditions, the dog may indicate a human presence at distances of up to 200 metres. In European conditions, this distance may be doubled.
