Since the renowned Seal Team Six raid to take out Bin Laden, more than ten years after the most devastating terrorist attacks on American soil, the clandestine world of the elite Navy Seals has captured the world’s attention like never before. Yet, few know of a select and very unique group of warriors who accompany Seal teams on covert missions: Seal K-9 teams. Former Seal instructor and K-9 handler Mike Ritland reveals what it takes to train and go downrange with some of the world’s most battle-hardened and versatile Military Working Dogs.
Co-authored by Gary Brozek, “Trident K-9 Warriors” sheds light on the reclusive world of Seal Team dog handlers and the highly classified missions that they embark on to ensure freedom and prosperity from the evolving scourge of terrorism. With their sights set on the most cunning and ruthless enemies, K-9 operatives will jump, dive and fast-rope into the most dangerous places known to man. Deployed to detect hidden weapons caches, booby traps, and to apprehend insurgents, these K-9 warriors ensure an extra margin of safety to their brother’s-in-arms which guarantees success on the battlefield.
Mike Ritland does an outstanding job of conveying the rigors of Seal dog training and selection as well as incorporating some historic facts about military working dogs and how they evolved into the elite spec-ops warriors of today. Unlike most of the media hype surrounding special operations, Mike manages to tell a compelling story without divulging sensitive operational secrets that could jeopardize Seals and their K-9 teams out in the field.
