The Army Concept Team in Vietnam evaluated the 60th Infantry Platoon (Scout Dog) (Mine/Tunnel) (60th IPSD) to determine its suitability for tactical employment with US Army units in RVN. The 28 man platoon had 14 mine and 14 tunnel dogs. The mine dogs were trained to detect explosive artifacts and trip wires. The tunnel dogs were trained to detect open and camouflaged holes and trip wires. (Author)
