What regulation directs the Air Force Military Working Dog program?

• A. AFI 31-112
• B. AFI 31-121
• C. AFI 31-120
• D. AFI 31-123

Answer: (B)

The main concept is that the Air Force assigns a specific instruction to govern how its Military Working Dogs are managed, trained, and used in security missions. That regulation is AFI 31-121, which directly covers Security Police Dogs (Military Working Dogs), laying out the standards for selecting and training dogs, certifying handlers, running kennels, providing medical care, and retirement or transfer of dogs. This guidance keeps the program consistent across bases and aligned with broader security policies. Other security or law-enforcement regulations in the 31-series touch on related topics, but they don’t provide the program-specific direction for the MWDs.
