Book Synopsis How I Became a K9 Commando by : Laura Miller
Download or read book How I Became a K9 Commando written by Laura Miller and published by . This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story about a Dutch-born puppy and her journey to become a member of the greatest fighting force in the world ...Learn about adversity, dedication, gratitude, love, and sacrifice through the eyes of a Special Operations Forces K-9. The story is about a dog named Patty, who talks about her Dutch upbringing and how she "tried out" for the most elite military unit in the world and made it! She explains her specialized training and how she was injured in the war, her recovery and her retirement. She also talks about biting bad guys....YES! She wants everyone to know that she is doing her job and maybe a bite is not as bad as a bullet? She also talks about sacrifice, gratitude, and death. Special Operations Forces (SOF) multi-purpose canines (MPC) are not traditional military working dogs (MWD). Unlike traditional MWDs that have been around since the First World War, SOF MPCs have only been around since 1998 and not publicly known about until around 2005. What makes these dogs so special is the amount of time and training that goes into each dog, usually years before they actually deploy. They are not gate guards, narcotic detectors or single purpose dogs with a few months of training. They are typically patrol and explosive detection dogs that can work off-leash, and make "decisions" without a handler instructing their every move. There is much more to it than that, but this IS a kid's book! The dogs are loved and are valuable assets to the unit and men. They are never sacrificed and every attempt is made to accomplish the mission without harming the dogs. When a dog is MIA or KIA, not only his handler feels the loss but the entire community. The intent of "How I Became a K9 Commando" is to share our love for these dogs and show some of the remarkable things they can do. Also, if we can educate the public a bit, teach children about sacrifice and gratitude and hopefully raise some funds to continue our goal of honoring SOF handlers and their dogs, then we have succeeded!

Book excerpt: K9 Commando: Police and Army Dogs from New York to Berlin Dogs have much to teach us humans about selflessness, loyalty and incorruptibility. As crime-fighters aiding the police, Special Forces dogs, in particular, heed the call of duty with all the courage that their owners and fellow officers have. Author Violetta Kovacs presents 12 true and touching stories of these brave, tough, smart and beautiful animals in her latest book, K9 Commando: Police and Army Dogs from New York to Berlin. Kovacs gives a voice to those brave and honorable officers of the K9 variety who cannot speak for themselves. Her tales of their exploits demonstrate what extraordinary creatures they are. For thousands of years, man and his four-legged best friend have had a special bond. As guide dogs for the blind, search-and-rescue dogs for the lost, sheep dogs for shepherds or simply companions for ordinary people, dogs have always taken their place at their masters' sides. This bond is no more apparent than with the Special Forces K9 officers Kovacs honors with K9 Commando. The touching stories in the book prove without a doubt that a dog is not just an animal. It testifies to the truly deep and honest emotional relationship between a police officer and his dog.
Download or read book Franklin written by Matthew Duffy and published by . This book was released on 2018-05-14 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In June of 1991, Jeffrey Scott Franklin received his first tutorial on aggressive working dogs from me. Jeff was not yet twenty years old when we first met. He had just returned home from active duty as a Marine Tank Operator during the Desert Storm War. Franklin worked closely with me as a professional dog-trainer for more than a decade while serving as a K-9 Officer, before he was once again called to duty by his country. Whether he knew it or not, Jeff committed to making history in 2004 when he agreed to develop a "top tier" Canine Commando program for the preeminent branch of the United States Military. Franklin's dog-training skills were put to the test as he turned extraordinary dogs and exceptional men into the world's foremost K-9 combat teams. Developing his own canine-selection criteria and training protocols, Jeff created the ultimate war-dog for the "high octane" demands of covert operations. Follow the Commando Dogs into battle as they confront terrorists and revolutionaries deep into hostile territory. Subduing the enemy while fighting against the odds is what Franklin's specialized teams due best. This is a narrative about the enduring relationship between man and dog. This is a story of "good" against "evil." This is the dramatic tale of my friend, Jeffrey Scott Franklin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This addition to the Women and Society around the World series explores the roles, challenges, and accomplishments of women in the military in countries across the globe. Around the world, millions of men serve in their countries' militaries, be it on land, on the seas, or in the air. But while many militaries have opened all positions to women, even those on the front lines, others remain closed. Countries have cited a number of reasons for their policies, including changing views of women and the military, conscription, and economic and demographic trends. Written by a professor of comparative politics at the United States Military Academy at West Point and an active duty army major, this book seeks to provide an understanding of women's roles in militaries around the world. The book is organized by region, exploring societal and cultural views of masculinity and war, as well as factors influencing changing views of women and the military, including conscription and economic and demographic trends. Topics also include sexual harassment, recruitment, and views on women's physicality and strength. High school students, undergraduates, and general readers will find this cross-cultural study a fascinating and important resource.

Download or read book A Very Different War written by Owen Zupp and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-05 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Korean War lies between the enormity of the Second World War and the controversy of Vietnam. Although it often slips through the cracks of history, it represented a global shift as two opposing ideologies clashed and the Cold War heated up. The fledgling United Nations was called to act, and Australia joined the 21 nations committed to supporting South Korea. Within days of the North Koreans crossing the 38th Parallel, the RAAF was flying missions from its base in Japan. In the ensuing three years, the RAAF gained respect among its peers and the attention of the opposing military powers. When the war reached a crisis point, with UN forces pinned down and threatened with being pushed off the peninsula into the sea, the RAAF was at the epicentre. During the war, the RAAF entered the jet age, and the transition was not without challenges and losses. Ultimately, a generation of RAAF leaders emerged from the ranks of sergeant pilots and junior officers who underwent their baptism of fire on the Korean Peninsula. Using No 77 Squadron operations as a timeline, this concise history of the RAAF involvement in the war examines the roles of the transport unit, nurses, ground crews, prisoners of war and those who still have no known resting place.

Download or read book Soldier Dogs written by Maria Goodavage and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-31 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading reporter offers a tour of military working dogs' extraordinary training, heroic accomplishments, and the lasting impacts they have on those who work with them. People all over the world have been riveted by the story of Cairo, the Belgian Malinois who was a part of the Navy SEAL team that led the raid on Osama bin Laden's compound. A dog's natural intelligence, physical abilities, and pure loyalty contribute more to our military efforts than ever before. You don't have to be a dog lover to be fascinated by the idea that a dog-the cousin of that furry guy begging for scraps under your table-could be one of the heroes who helped execute the most vital and high-tech military mission of the new millennium. Now Maria Goodavage, editor and featured writer for one of the world's most widely read dog blogs, tells heartwarming stories of modern soldier dogs and the amazing bonds that develop between them and their handlers. Beyond tales of training, operations, retirement, and adoption into the families of fallen soldiers, Goodavage talks to leading dog-cognition experts about why dogs like nothing more than to be on a mission with a handler they trust, no matter how deadly the IEDs they are sniffing, nor how far they must parachute or rappel from aircraft into enemy territory. "Military working dogs live for love and praise from their handlers," says Ron Aiello, president of the United States War Dogs Association and a former marine scout dog handler. "The work is all a big game, and then they get that pet, that praise. They would do anything for their handler." This is an unprecedented window into the world of these adventurous, loving warriors.

Download or read book Rescue Pilot written by Jerry Grayson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerry Grayson is an ordinary man who chose an extraordinary career. At age 17 he became the youngest helicopter pilot to ever serve in the Royal Navy. By age 25 he was the most decorated peacetime naval pilot in history. For the Navy's Search and Rescue pilots, getting to work is both an adventure and an ordeal. Whether rescuing a wounded fighter pilot who has ditched in the sea, saving desperate survivors from a sinking ship, or picking up a grievously ill crewman from the deck of a nuclear-armed submarine that is playing a cat-and-mouse game with the Soviet navy, Jerry Grayson has lived a life of unparalleled excitement and adventure. His finest hour came during the infamous Fastnet Yacht Race of 1979 in which 25 yachts were lost. When a catastrophic storm enveloped the competitors he and his crew pushed their Wessex helicopter to its absolute limits and put their own lives at risk, flying into hurricane-force winds to winch shipwrecked sailors from heaving tempestuous seas. An investiture at Buckingham Palace with Her Majesty the Queen was the result. Being a Rescue Pilot is a fast-paced career because there is no choice. Lives are at stake and pilots must move and think fast. Jerry Grayson's inside view of this heroic service is as inspirational as it is celebratory. Excitingly told, frequently funny but also very poignant, Jerry's story is not an account of just one man's deeds, it is a salute to all the men and women he worked with who were able to turn tragedies into triumphs. Includes a Foreword by HRH The Duke of York, Prince Andrew, Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm.
