ITBP Raises New Unit of Assault Dogs to Aid Its Patrol Teams
News 18The Indo-Tibetan Border Police has raised a new unit of assault dogs, which have been trained to work in packs of four to pin down enemy troopers if the force's patrol teams are attacked, officials said on Thursday. "These assault dogs have been trained to attack in a team of quartets, which means that four dogs will act in tandem to bring down the target be it a terrorist or any element that may harm the troops during patrolling," a senior ITBP officer said. "The dogs of this new unit are trained to seek, track, chase, pin down and hold the target, till commanded to let go," he said. The new unit, another officer said, has been raised keeping in mind the challenges of a group attack on an ITBP patrol such as during border domination duties.
