The Daily News-Miner has another article from the NTC. Excerpt:

FORT IRWIN, Calif. — By now, most people in Fairbanks have heard that the more than 4,000 men and women who make up Fort Wainwright’s 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division will go to Iraq for a 12-month tour of duty this fall.

But what most people might not know about is the 16 dogs that will accompany the Strykers to Iraq to sniff out bombs and track targets.

Sgt. Nathaniel Epps, of the 2nd Battalion, 8th Field Artillery Regiment, was among those selected to work with one of the dogs.
