Military dogs dig into security

OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea -- Staff Sgt. Keith Kitchin is taken down by his dog, Elsa, during a criminal chase exercise here. Sergeant Kitchin is wearing a special jacket designed to keep him from being harmed by the dog's bite. Sergeant Kitchin is a 51st Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler. The dogs are highly trained to obey specific commands and for multiple tasks. The dogs are trained to bite and hold because it mitigates injuries to the victim. The military working dog kennel here is the largest operational kennel in the Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Russell Wicke)
