A military dog handler positions his canine on a flotation device prior to them executing a 1000-meter swim to shore during Marine Corps Forces, Special Operations Command’s multi-purpose canine handler training in Key West, Fla., Jan. 10, 2018. Dog handlers undergo 16 weeks of advanced training with their assigned dogs in order to become special operations multi-purpose canines. Individual MPCs are capable of conducting a variety of missions which require separate military working dogs in the conventional forces. ( Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Bryann K. Whitley)
