Health and Welfare Inspections:

---

Dog teams are a great psychological deterrent when used properly. A dog team can inspect a unit for health and welfare purposes while still sending a strong message to soldiers. Although a dog may not find anything the message was still sent! Both explosive and narcotic detection dogs can be used for a health and welfare inspection.
