Multi-purpose Canines
Like the Navy SEALs, Combat Assault Dogs are highly trained, highly skilled, and highly motivated special ops experts, able to perform extraordinary military missions by Sea, Air and Land. The highly versatile canines contribute to saving the lives of SEALs every day. Their intensive training allows them to locate explosives, track and detain individuals, and clear buildings.
In addition to the tactical abilities they bring to the force, multipurpose canines create strong bonds with their human teammates, helping to boost morale. Intensive training together builds trust between handler and canine. These dogs are regularly deployed with SEALs to serve as invaluable armament.
Raven is the Navy SEAL Museum’s multipurpose canine. While he has never served in active duty, Raven serves as both an asset to the facility and an educational tool for guests visiting the Museum.
