Cpl. David Hernandez and his military working dog Ella, left, and Cpl. Harold Greenaker and his dog Kuko hold security outside of a house while Marines and sailors with Maritime Raid Force, 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, prepare for their extraction following a simulated raid Jan. 13, 2015, on Guam. The raid was conducted as part of Realistic Urban Training Exercise. RUTEX is a high-intensity, close-quarter battle training conducted in an urban environment to provide realistic training that cannot be duplicated at the MRF’s facilities on Okinawa. Ella, a specialized search dog, and Kuko, a specialized patrol explosive detection dog, are used by the MRF to search for any substances that may help them learn more about their enemy or to detect any hazards for the Marines. Hernandez, from San Francisco, and Greenaker, from Tampa, Florida, are military working dog handlers currently attached to MRF, 31st MEU. ( Marine Corps Photo by Cpl. Thor J.
