RAFM MWDs perform first water-confidence training

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Samuel McPheron, 100th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler, praises MWD Juan after he performs a bite during water confidence training in a pool at RAF Mildenhall, England, Nov. 12, 2025. This was the first time it has been conducted at RAF Mildenhall and the tri-base area. This training builds confidence in the working dogs so they are able to conduct operational tasks while in the water. (U.S. Air Force photo by Karen Abeyasekere)
