What changed in this edition

This document is substantially revised and needs to be completely reviewed. This revision corrects administrative errors and updates the following: functional roles and responsibilities; MWDT limitations and utilization procedures; updated guidance on explosive training and additional odors; and field qualifications for patrol and detection. In addition, this revision clarifies MWD variances, kennel maintenance, MWD care, and MWD transportation. Lastly, the revision references the military Digital Records Management System (DRMS) Library which is currently K9S and Air Force Security Forces Center (AFSFC) Security Management & Automated Resource Tracking Network (SMARTNet) as the new location for sample forms and reference material

Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
