Veterinarian Corps
The U.S. Army Veterinary Corps is the only medical staff of its kind in the United States Armed Forces. Army veterinarians, which are stationed in more than 300 locations across the globe, provide medical care and evaluate food safety for animals for all branches in the military.
They care for hundreds of military working dogs, ceremonial horses and other animals with Department of Homeland Security organizations. Army canines, cared for by Army veterinarians, recently helped with security efforts during President Barack Obama’s inauguration.
There are approximately 700 Army veterinarians serving in the Veterinary Corps on active duty and reserve components.
