RAFM MWDs perform first water-confidence training

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Keila Falcon, left, and Staff Sgt. Samuel McPheron, 100th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handlers, hold on to MWD Juan as he shakes off water after performing a bite during water confidence training in a pool at RAF Mildenhall, England, Nov. 12, 2025. The training tests the MWDs’ confidence in being placed in an unknown environment and demonstrates that they can overcome stress while still meeting operational standards.
