The U.S. Army Engineer School established the Combat Engineer MDD Handler
Course to train dog teams to support Engineer explosive hazard detection
operations. 1Prospect will instruct the Combat Engineer MDD Handler Course
in conjunction with providing training support services. Quality instruction
and execution of training is a time-consuming, laborious process that requires
continuous (before, during, and after) planning and oversight. The training
implementation and execution requirements of the course require instructors fully
trained and qualified to instruct dogs in explosive odor recognition and proper
indication/reaction upon recognition, and to train soldier students to handle the

Rise in Identity Theft
Redhawk Network Security’s information security analyst, Tyler Hardison, was
recently featured on Central Oregon’s KTVZ News discussing the risks of identity
theft. Identity theft is happening more and more with the rise in technology.
“Individuals are likely to experience it in their day-to-day activities across the
internet, whether it be with your phone or home computer,” said Tyler Hardison.
Internet phishing is one of the primary sources of today’s scams. Some of the
most common are text messages and emails claiming to be your bank, health care
provider, or a government agency asking for confidential information about your
account, social security number, tax information, etc.
Hardison says scammers who pretend to be a government agency or a bank will try
to contact you urgently.
“Anytime you get that kind of request and there’s some sort of time limit on it,
you want to immediately step back and think “Wait a minute, maybe I should get a
second opinion on this,’” said Hardison.
Hardison also recommends creating strong online passwords and updating them Interior photo of the climbing walls being built in Adventure Rock. The
