RAFM MWDs perform first water-confidence training

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Cameron Gilbert, left, 100th Security Forces Squadron military working dog trainer, reacts as MWD Uta grips onto the bite suit while Staff Sgt. Keira Falcon, 100th SFS MWD handler, holds onto the leash during water confidence training in a pool at RAF Mildenhall, England, Nov. 12, 2025. The training strengthens the overall readiness and force projection capability through building MWDs’ confidence in the water, preparing these vital assets to operate in unpredictable terrain across U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa to support the Agile Combat Employment mission.
