3 main roles:
Animal Care, primarily DOD working dogs, but also pets belonging to those with base access privileges.
Food Inspection, due to our background in microbiology and food animal medicine. Ensuring the safety of the food supply for the entire military, including audits of facilities CONUS and OCONUS who are listed as vendors for the DOD.
Civil Affairs, helping agricultural economies put the pieces back together after conflict or disaster.
