Who are the 'Dog Soldiers' in the Military?

Hey everyone! I've been exploring different military branches and came across the term 'Dog Soldiers'. Does anyone know what branch this group is associated with?

Hello! The term 'Dog Soldiers' does not officially refer to any existing unit or group in the U.S. military branches - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or Space Force. There may be internal, informal monikers within certain groups, but 'Dog Soldiers' is not a recognized title in contemporary military structure.

However, historically, Dog Soldiers were one of the seven military societies of the Cheyenne Indians in the 19th century. Notably, it is also the title of a movie about a British Army training mission gone awry.

If you're interested in a specific branch or groups within the military, I would recommend researching each branch's unique special operations forces. For instance, the Army has the Green Berets and Delta Force, the Navy has the SEALs, the Marine Corps have Force Recon, the Air Force has the Pararescue (PJ), Special Tactics and Combat Control Teams, and the Coast Guard has the Deployable Specialized Forces. Of course, each of these groups have stringent selection and training processes.

All this to say, it's possible that the term 'Dog Soldiers' could be colloquially used within a certain unit or group in the military, but it's not an official or widely-recognized term.
