Soldiers of the 906th Military Police Detachment, Fort Novosel, Alabama, hosted an en route casualty care training event focusing on life-saving medical procedures for military working dogs that are medically evacuated by helicopter. The four-day event culminated on June 23 with a graded evaluation of military working dog handlers as they provided critical care while inflight aboard a Black Hawk helicopter. Military working dog teams from across the Army participated in the training. Fort Novosel (formerly Fort Rucker) is home to the U.S. Army Aviation Center of Excellence.
