Top Stories - Swift Eagle

Dog has his day
All in the name of safety

By LT Chantal Llora

SWIFT Eagle 04 was the first exercise where military working dog Kouter put his skills and training to the test.

Kouter and his handler, Corporal Chris Gawne, of No. 321 Combat Support Squadron, guarded the area of operations at Mundoo Airfield.

“This sort of opportunity is priceless in his training. Now he will be fully prepared if we are sent out on operation,” said CPL Gwane.
