Which branch of the military commonly uses dogs?

Hello, I'm fascinated by the role of dogs in the military. I heard that some branches are known to use them more than others. Can anyone shed light on which branch of the military commonly has a greater demand for dogs? I'm interested in potentially pursuing a path where this a possibility after high school.

Certainly, different branches of the military do utilize dogs, predominantly for jobs such as detection, tracking, patrol, and protection. While all the branches make use of military working dogs, it's largely recognized that the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Army are two branches that use these canine soldiers more frequently.

The U.S. Air Force typically employs dogs in its Security Forces—essentially, the Air Force's military police. They use dogs for roles such as patrol, narcotics detection, and explosives detection.

On the other hand, the U.S. Army also utilizes military working dogs in a variety of ways. They are often part of the Military Police units but are also found in other units for specialized detection tasks including the detection of explosives and narcotics, as the Air Force does.

Therefore, while all branches do use dogs, the Air Force and the Army are most commonly associated with a higher number of military working dogs. However, specific numbers can fluctuate based on the military's current needs and operational focus areas.
