Maj. William Roberts, commander of the Defense Department’s Military Working Dog Center at Lackland Air Force Base, said the dog on the raid might have been brought in to check the compound for explosives, sniff door handles to see if they were booby-trapped, or search for secret rooms in bin Laden’s compound.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/military-working-dog-center/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/military-working-dog-center/ Fri, 06 May 2011 15:34:44 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/military-working-dog-center/ 29.36895500 -98.62202500 <![CDATA[Motorcycle Safety Training]]>

The "Lausitz-Kaserne" in the small town of Doberlug-Kirchhain in Brandenburg is one of the best military facilities in germany. Starting in 1945 as a base for russian units, it was later used by the "NVA" (the army of the former German Democratic Republic). It was taken over by the german army in 1990 and extensively modernized to meet requirements of the new owners. It is now home for the "Fallschirmjaegerbataillon 373" (an airborne infantry unit), activated in 1996, and some maintenance and administrative units, with a total of ca. 1600 soldiers and civilians.
Due to the restructuring concept of the german defense ministry, personnel will be reduced to 500 civilans. "Fallschirmjaegerbataillon 373" will relocate to Seedorf until 2007.]]>

Submarine Escape Training Tower (SETT - HMS Dolphin)
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: kjfitz
@ 2010-03-11 11:35:23
The Submarine Escape Training tank at Fort Blockhouse (formally HMS Dolphin) Gosport Hampshire, was constructed during the late 1940's, and ran its first training course in July 1954.

Since then improvements to techniques and equipment have led to deeper escapes being made from submarines. The current record stands at 600feet (180m) from a submarine. This was conducted to prove that escapes were possible down to the level of the continental shelf, where the majority of incidents would be likely to occur.

The need for escape training came about as staying put and waiting for a rescue vessel was not always possible due to the nature of the problem.

Horsea Island Dive Centre first started using the SETT in 2000, with the initial idea of giving the less experienced diver a controlled dive to nearly 30m, or to practice deeper rescue skills in a swimming pool environment. Although to date the majority of divers come here for a unique experience, with 30m and water temperature of 34 degrees and top to bottom visibility, there are not many locations in the U.K. to match it.]]>

Special operations units are the “tip of the spear” and the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Center (KASOTC) is the sharpening-tool that hones the spear. KASOTC is located in Amman, Jordan and is a one-of-a-kind facility.

Its unique nature derives from an extraordinary combination of cutting-edge training, elite instructor and support staff, and integrated advanced technology.

The facility encompasses an elaborate urban area containing 56 live-fire and simulated-fire training structures – all outfitted with the latest instrumentation and simulated technologies, plus a fully-integrated Airbus, flat-ranges, a breaching complex, and a 5-story CQB live-fire shoot house.

Tying it all together is a fiber optic network and centralized Range Operations Control (ROC).

KASOTC is fully-quipped, staffed, and offers an ideal venue for special operations pre-deployment training, joint exercises, and other training initiatives.
