OFFICERS WITH UNITS
When the Veterinary Corps was established in 1916, the Army ran on horses and mules - 500,000 during WWI alone. Veterinary officers were assigned to every cavalry regiment, artillery battery, and logistics unit that used draft animals. They treated wounds, managed disease outbreaks, ran remount stations, and kept the animal fleet operational. More horses died in WWI from disease than enemy action. The Veterinary Corps' original mission was keeping the Army's four-legged force alive.

The Veterinary Corps' largest mission is one nobody sees - food safety inspection for the entire Department of Defense.

Over $12 billion in subsistence is inspected annually. They verify food safety at origin, in transit, and at destination - a global quality assurance mission that prevents foodborne illness from becoming a force health threat.

VETS TREAT ALL MWDs
Military working dogs detect explosives, find hidden caches, track enemy combatants, and go through doors with special operators. In Iraq and Afghanistan, MWDs saved countless lives finding IEDs that technology missed. Army veterinarians provide all medical care for these animals - from routine wellness to combat trauma surgery. SOF multipurpose canines operate at the highest classification levels. When a military working dog is wounded in action, an Army veterinarian is the one who saves its life. These dogs are soldiers. They're treated like soldiers.
