388th SPS K-9

The 388th Security Police Squadron (SPS) K-9 unit was an integral part of the United States Air Force's base security during the Vietnam War. Assigned to Korat Royal Thai Air Force Base in Thailand, the 388th SPS K-9 teams provided critical perimeter defense, detection, and patrol capabilities from the late 1960s through the 1970s. The military working dogs and their handlers played a vital role in detecting intrusions, explosives, and providing early warning against enemy attacks. Their dedication and effectiveness contributed significantly to the safety and operational success of U.S. air operations in Southeast Asia.
