Written Policy Directives

Section 1000 – Written Policy Directive System

1001. Purpose. This section defines the structure and application of the United States Marine Corps Military Working Dog (MWD) Manual written policy directive system (WPDS) and provides Law Enforcement Executives, the MWD section, and other personnel with a better understanding of its importance, use, and applicability.

1002. Policy. A WPDS has been established per reference (d) to inform military police staff and the MWD section of expectations and guidance in the performance of their duties, to establish the basis for accountability and the means to fairly evaluate MWD section performance. This section formally documents the structure and component parts of the written directive system in a manner that will increase its utility and application and provide for continuity in its development.

1003. Definitions

1. Military Working Dog Program Manager (MWD PM). The MWD PM conducts strategic planning for future MWD capabilities and operations, provides fiscal and administrative management, supplies technical assistance, develops, implements, and reviews procedures and policies for the Marine Corps MWD Program.

2. Deputy Military Working Dog Program Manager (Dep. MWD PM).

The Dep. MWD PM assists the MWD PM in the management of the Marine Corps MWD Program by establishing and reviewing MWD policies and procedures for utilization and standardized training and employment of MWD teams. The Dep. MWD PM plans, programs, and monitors MWD Training Courses provided by the Department of Defense (DoD) MWD Executive Agent, ensuring courses of study are meeting the needs and requirements of the Marine Corps. When requested, the Dep. MWD PM performs duties as an evaluator for the Inspector General of the Marine Corps’ (IGMC) Command Inspection Program (CIP) or for a major subordinate commander’s (MSC) Commanding General’s Inspection Program (CGIP), providing subject matter expert (SME) guidance and input to field units concerning MWD standards. The Dep. MWD PM oversees management of Explosive/Drug Training Aids for the MWD Program and provides recommendations for changes to MWD training scent kits. The Dep. MWD PM is the program lead for

1-2 Enclosure (2) the Working Dog Management System (WDMS) and provides help desk support to field units for WDMS issues.

3. MWD Program Operations Manager (Ops Mgr). The Ops Mgr assists the MWD PM in conducting research for the development of new or the enhancement of existing MWD capabilities for future operational use and conducts oversight of on-going special projects to ensure the needs and requirements of the Marine Corps MWD Program are met. The Ops Mgr also coordinates non-operational MWD team support for United States Secret Service (USSS), Department of State (DoS), and other external agencies with established notification procedures; processes MWDs for disposition from the Marine Corps MWD Program; conducts MWD section assist visits to ensure the MWD section is in compliance of rules and regulations and MWD teams are capable for operational use by conducting validations; and conducts Handler and/or MWD problem solving training. The Ops Mgr also performs duties as an evaluator for the IGMC’s CIP and MSC’s CGIP, providing SME guidance and input to field units concerning MWD standards.

4. MWD Program Chief. The MWD Program Chief assists the MWD Program staff in the management of the Marine Corps MWD Program.

The MWD Program Chief manages MWD School seat assignments;

conducts MWD section assist visits to ensure the MWD section is in compliance of rules and regulations and MWD teams are capable for operational use by conducting validations; and conducts Handler and/or MWD problem solving training. The MWD Program Chief also performs duties as an evaluator for the IGMC’s CIP and MSC’s CGIP, providing SME guidance and input to field units concerning MWD standards.

5. Provost Marshal (PM)

a. Installation. The Provost Marshal serves as the installation commander’s senior law enforcement representative and as a special staff officer responsible for the daily operations and functional management of the installation Provost Marshal Office (PMO).

b. Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF). The Provost Marshal serves as the commander’s senior law enforcement representative but as a special staff officer without operational responsibilities.

c. Law Enforcement (LE) Battalion (Bn). There is no PM at the battalion level but the battalion commander is responsible

1-3 Enclosure (2) for all administrative and operational matters for MWDs assigned to the MEF.

6. Police Chief (PC). On installations with a Marine Corps Police Department (MCPD), the PC serves as the installation commander’s senior law enforcement representative and as a special staff officer responsible for the daily operations and functional management of the MCPD.

7. Commanding Officer (CO). Refers to the responsible officer over the MWD Section as specified below for each location:

a. Installation. The PM/PC.

b. LE BN. The Bn commander.

8. Law Enforcement (LE) Executives. LE Executives includes PM, military police commissioned officers, military police senior staff noncommissioned officers (E8-E9), PCs, Deputy Chiefs of Police and supervisory police officers (GS 11-14).

9. Military Working Dog (MWD) Section. Unless specifically stated to the contrary, the term “MWD section” includes both military and civilian (government service) MWD personnel operating in either installation support or LE Bn commands.

Exceptions for LE Bn sections will be identified as “LE Bn”.

Depending on the size of the section, personnel assigned to the MWD section may consist of the kennel master, trainer, and handler.

10. Military/Civilian Personnel. There is no distinction between military personnel of the United States Marine Corps and federally employed civilians performing the same function unless otherwise signified by the addition of the word “Military” or “Civilian”.

11. Kennel Master (KM). The KM supervises the MWD section for either the installation or the LE Bn. The KM is responsible for the overall management of the MWD section operations and ensures MWD teams are trained, validated, operationally ready and properly equipped to provide an anti-terrorism/force protection (AT/FP) measure for the installation and/or world-wide deployment in support of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force

(MAGTF).

12. Trainer. The trainer conducts MWD training for MWD teams.

For the installation, the trainer must ensure MWD teams are

1-4 Enclosure (2) trained, validated and operationally ready to provide an AT/FP measure for the installation. For the LE Bn, the trainer must ensure MWD teams are trained for world-wide deployment in support of the MAGTF.

13. Handler. The MWD handler provides daily care and grooming for their assigned MWD. The MWD handler ensures sustainment skills are maintained in their assigned MWD for either providing AT/FP measure for the installation or for world-wide deployment in support of the MAGTF.

14. Military Working Dog (MWD). An MWD is a Government-owned dog procured, acquired or bred, and trained to meet MWD requirements of the military departments and DoD agencies.

15. Military Working Dog (MWD) Team. An MWD team is a validated operational element consisting of a school trained handler and a trained MWD.

16. Policies. Policies provide overarching guidance regarding the general goals and procedures on specific matters. Policies are concise position statements based on underlying organizational principles, goals, values, and operational philosophies. They are designed for broad general direction and guidance primarily designed for use by all members of the MWD community, PMO or MCPD.

17. Procedures. Procedures build on the foundation of policy statements to provide specific guidance on required, desired, or preferred methods of operations or conduct. Procedures are detailed instructions on the means and methods for carrying out the policy directive and generally draw the boundaries of permissible discretion in performing specific tasks or duties.

Procedures may be included within individual chapters or appendixes.

18. Rules. As opposed to procedure statements that often provide flexibility and discretion, rules are characterized by their inflexibility. Rules define situations where typically no deviation or exceptions to agency-authorized actions are permitted. Rules are, by definition, restrictive, and as such, are avoided within the WPDS unless specifically required by federal law or military department policy. Rules, in daily operations, are normally issued by the cognizant commander, or as directed by the local PM/PC.

1-5 Enclosure (2)

19. Terms Limiting MWD Section Discretion. There are three categories of terms used in MWD Manual WPDS. Personnel responsible for the development of such directives and the MWD section that carries them out shall be aware of the limitations on discretion that these terms convey. These terms are classified as judgmental, directive, and restrictive or prohibitive in nature.

a. Judgmental. The word “may” is used to convey the utmost discretion to the MWD section. “May” indicates the MWD section should employ their best judgment in addressing a situation by relying on experience, training, the stated mission and values of the Marine Corps, and the general guidance provided in this Manual.

b. Directive. The word “should” or “should not” is used to convey the appropriate MWD section actions in given circumstances. Directives should be followed whenever reasonably possible. However, it is recognized that exceptions to desired actions can be anticipated in these circumstances that could require alternative action. The MWD section is therefore authorized whenever reasonable to use limited discretion to deal effectively with the situation or problem.

c. Restrictive or Prohibitive. The terms “shall” or “shall not” or “will” or “will not” impose absolute requirements or prohibitions on MWD section actions. Considering the full set of circumstances surrounding many situations confronted by the MWD section cannot be fully predicted, such terms must be used with care and with the understanding that failure to abide by such restrictions may result in disciplinary action. Where deemed appropriate, however, these terms may appear in policies, procedures, and rules.

20. United States Marine Corps Military Working Dog Manual.

The MWD Manual is a position statement by or authorized through the Deputy Commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations (DC, PP&O) via Assistant Deputy Commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations (Security) (ADC, PP&O Security) or also titled as the Director Security Division [henceforth referred to in this Manual as “PS Div”] which guide or direct the actions and activities of the MWD section in the performance of their duties at all Marine Corps activities and installations. Directives encompass all means by which PS Div communicates instructions, orders and duty requirements to MWD sections, to include policies within this Order, procedures, rules, regulations, 1-6 Enclosure (2)

Marine Administrative (MARADMIN) messages, memoranda, and instructional materials.

1004. Procedures

The Military Working Dog (MWD) Program

Section 2000 – Background

2001. Purpose. This section provides background information about the evolution of the MWD Program.

2002. History

1. Early Dog Applications. Since ancient times, dogs have been used for the protection of life and property. From these early stages, dog training and employment has been continuously refined to produce a highly sophisticated and versatile extension of the warrior’s own senses. Even the most complex machines remain unable to duplicate the operational effectiveness of a properly trained MWD team. These dogs have been heroes, showing bravery under fire, saving lives (often losing their own), and bringing comfort to the injured and infirmed.

2. 1940s. The Marine Corps’ war dog training program was initiated in 1942. The War Dog Program Activation Order stated:

“The dog trainer and handler must be a good combat Marine, capable of scouting and patrolling on his own, the dog being merely the means of increasing his radius of perception.” The dogs used in this program could outclass a man in alertness, lack of sleep, and in general condition; but in actually learning his lessons, dog trainers found it necessary to give the dogs frequent breaks and not spend too many hours a day on the lessons. Marine Raiders were enthusiastic over the performance of the war dogs in the Bougainville operation (Nov- Dec 1943).

3. 1950s. MWDs were trained at Fort Carson, Colorado, organized into scout dog platoons, and used in the Korean conflict for sentry duty and support of combat patrols. In 1957, MWD training moved to the current school location at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas (JBSA-Lackland), with the U.S. Air Force (USAF) serving as the DoD MWD Executive Agent (MWDEA) for the DoD MWD Program per reference (e).

4. 1960 – 80s. Throughout the Vietnam Conflict, the Marine Corps used dogs with considerable success. Most of these were sentry dogs used to safeguard critical installations such as ports and airfields. A new dimension in canine utilization was

2-2 Enclosure (2) realized when marijuana detector dog teams were trained and deployed to assist military police in suppressing illicit drug trafficking. Sentry and marijuana detector dog teams were then deployed worldwide in support of Military Police. An important outgrowth of the conflict was the development of canine research and development (R&D) efforts. These ongoing efforts were able to initiate the first steps toward developing a more intelligent and stronger military working dog, training dogs to detect specific drugs and explosives, developing multiple-purpose dogs, and employing tactical dogs by electronic remote control.

5. 1990 – early 2000s. MWDs were deployed around the globe in military operations such as Just Cause, Desert Shield and Desert Storm, Uphold Democracy, Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom.

MWD teams are effectively utilized to enhance the security of critical facilities and areas, bolster AT/FP missions, and assist in the detection of explosive devices and weapons caches providing the commanders with a wide range and flexible asset.

MWD teams have become a highly deployable capability that is employed in dynamic ways never before imagined. These specialized teams aid commanders in stability and support operations as well as in war fighting. Being modular and mobile makes these teams very agile. As situations dictate, MWD teams are quick to arrive and able to conduct various operations.

Their versatility allows for effective transformation at all echelons among readiness for deployment and operations on the ground, through redeployment and back to readiness.

6. Current Situation. The highly aggressive dog tactics of the 1960s and 1970s are long gone. Today's MWD Program effectively employs expertly trained and motivated handlers coupled with highly intelligent breeds of dogs. These teams are continuously rotating between their assigned duties and deployments worldwide to perform joint operations, multi-echelon tasks, and interagency missions. This Order provides the current capabilities of the Military Police MWD Program. As technology and world situations change, the MWD team will continue the transformation process and give commanders the full-spectrum capabilities needed to be combat multipliers on the battlefield as well as a persuasive AT/FP asset.

Section 2100 – Program Organization

2101. Purpose. This section describes the organizational structure and command relationships for those individuals who provide the direction, management and control of the Marine Corps MWD Program.

2102. Structure. This program extends from staff members located at Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) through the major Marine Corps commands to the owning commands with MWD capabilities. The USMC MWD Program is a program of record that has organizational structure and responsibilities that reach from the DoD level down to the individual handler. Figure 2-1 illustrates the MWD Program staff structure and location. The related organizational information of the MWD section is provided in Chapter 3.

Figure 2-1.--USMC Program Staff

2103. Chain-of-Command. The MWD PM and his staff are responsible to the DC PP&O via the PS Div. The MWD Program staff interfaces with the MWDEA, and those Marine Corps major commands that have resident MWD capabilities through the chain-of-command communication as illustrated in figure 2-2. Appendix C provides a guide on communicating with the MWD PM.
