Add PhotosOn September 9, 1941, the first sentry dog unit of the K-9 Company was formed at Fort MacArthur. This program was another step in the fort's campaign to increase its effectiveness. Originated and organized on a trial basis in December 1940, the first dogs for the unit were recruited directly from their owners at Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles after extensive newspaper publicity. Sergeant Robert H. Pearce was designated head trainer, and the unit became the nucleus of the internationally famous K-9 Command, U.S. Army.
