During the exercises, the dogs engaged in a variety of tasks such as searching for illicit substances, detecting explosives, and conducting patrol and security operations. Lt. Martin Siht, commander of the Military Police K-9 group, emphasized that these exercises are essential for maintaining a high level of readiness to support allied units in Estonia.
This marked the second consecutive year of UK participation. A military veterinarian from the UK provided Tactical Combat Casualty Care training, focusing on the swift and effective treatment of injured service dogs.
