* Dogs are specialized: Dogs in the military are trained for specific roles like:
* Military Working Dogs (MWDs): They detect explosives, search for narcotics, patrol areas, and assist with security.
* Search and Rescue: Dogs can locate missing persons, navigate difficult terrain, and provide comfort.
* Medical Assistance: Some dogs are trained to assist with medical tasks like retrieving supplies or providing emotional support.
* Infantry is a broad term: Infantry refers to soldiers on foot, regardless of their equipment or any animal companions.
Instead of a combined term, you'd typically see:
* Infantry unit with MWDs attached: This indicates that the unit has dogs assigned to them for specific missions.
* Soldiers working with a dog: This is a general description of the interaction.
