Airmen of the 60th Security Forces Squadron at Travis AFB, Calif., held a memorial late last month for military working dog Arko, who had deployed six times over a period of three years to support the war on terror, according to a Feb. 20 release. The eight-year-old dog, who died from natural causes, served in the Air Force for seven years as an explosive detector and patrol dog. Lt. Col. Travis Harsha, 60th SFS commander, said Arko “served with distinction.”
The Air Force plans to offer virtual enlisted Foundations courses Airmen can take at their convenience as part of a larger effort to modernize enlisted professional military education, or EPME.
