On Tuesday, Senior Team Leader Joseph Garcia of the US Corrections Special Operations Group (US C-SOG) visited Samaria to give a seminar to the Israel Dog Unit (IDU), a nonprofit specializing in working dogs.
The IDU volunteers learned new and unique techniques and technologies to allow them and their working dogs to better protect Israelis.
Among those in attendance were civilian security coordinators from Judea and Samaria and Nadav Yair, among the most prominent IDF instructors in fieldcraft, wilderness survival, and guerrilla warfare.
IDU director Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov commented, "We thank Joseph Garcia, and are pleased with the special cooperation with the elite units in the United States. IDU volunteers learned today knowledge that can help save lives."
