K-9 Base Security
Tech. Sgt. Scott Everson and Aggie search a vehicle at the front gate on July 16, 2015, at Stratton Air National Guard Base, New York. Everson, a loadmaster with the 139th Airlift Squadron, works as a K-9 handler in a private security company on the civilian side with Aggie, an explosive detection K-9. Everson was given approval by 109th Airlift Wing leadership to train Aggie at the base, giving the 109th Security Forces Squadron an added measure of security at the front gate. Aggie will be assisting with random vehicle inspections over the next few months while at the same time receiving real-world training. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Tech. Sgt.
