War Dogs — A brief history of dogs in military work.

The United States War Dogs Association

A Tribute To The War Dogs Of The United States Military

The War Dog Memorial — When U.S. Marines landed war dogs on Bougainville in the South Pacific, 01 November, 1943, it marked the first use of trained military dogs in combat by the United States. Doberman Pinschers, the official U.S. Marine Corps War Dogs, served throughout the South Pacific, courageously leading patrols in the steaming jungles, giving timely warning of the enemy waiting in ambush or hiding in caves, saving untold lives.
