Marine Raiders and some of their dogs on Bougainville. After a year of organization and training, the 1st Marine War Dog Platoon entered action on the island on November 1st, 1943. While the Army had put war dogs to good use already, mainly for sentry and guard duties, this was the first organized deployment of canine warriors by the Marine Corps, and the Marines intended to bring the dogs into the field, sniffing out enemy positions to warn of ambushes.
