AFMES continually enhances joint MWD training

Tako, 436th Security Forces Squadron military working dog, sits after identifying a canister of narcotics in a training environment on Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Oct. 15, 2025. The Joint Military Working Dog Laboratory within the Forensic Toxicology Department at the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System has already developed several iterations of a 3D printed casing, which they are calling a Narcotics Printed Protection Enclosure (NPPE), that not only offers greater protection but has the potential to expand training possibilities. These developments also help give the kennels and their handlers piece of mind, knowing that they can conduct their training without having to worry about damaging the aids inside the NPPEs.
