My Hero
OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM -- Staff Sgt. Chad Reemtsna, a military working dog handler and Hero, his military working dog both deployed from the 18th Security Forces Squadron, Kadena Air Base, Japan to the 363rd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron, spend quality time together while waiting for more vehicles to search during a mobile security patrol on April 8. Before military working dogs can be deployed they must pass an explosive ordinance test. The 363rd ESFS search crews work around the clock checking coalition forces, third country nationals, and contractor vehicles for bombs and other explosive devices in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom at a forward deployed location in Southwest Asia.
