The Army has set up a new veterinary unit at Fort Carson, Colo., to treat deployed U.S. and allied military working dogs.
The 438th Medical Detachment was activated in mid-October. It will have about 55 soldiers.
Lt. Col. Scott Bormanis, the units commander, said it's designed to care for up to 60 dogs. It can also treat any civilian livestock or pets injured by military action in a combat zone.

FAIR RETIREE PAY
Military retirees have always played by the rules. And the rules entitle us to certain fair-share benefits. If Congress and the military leadership changes the rules then future retirees will still salute. But don't change the rules for those of us who already in the game.
A Pentagon adviser advocates for cutting benefits because he says many retirees go on to take high-paying defense sector jobs which is perhaps true. But the most important fact is that most of us do not.
