Tarah Orosz, a 13-year veterinarian technician with Southern Colorado Veterinary Internal Medicine, is a volunteer at the 2018 Warrior Games. She talks about the importance of service dogs and the care they are receiving at the Games. This is the first year a crew of veterinary caregivers was implemented in the Warrior Games services. In total, there are about 13 volunteers who take care of the dogs while their service member athletes compete in various sporting events. The service is the brainchild of veterinarian Chris McReynolds and Melinda. They are hoping to provide more services next year for the games.

The Joint Civilian Orientation Course (JCOC) is the oldest and most prestigious public liaison program in the Department of Defense, and is the only outreach program sponsored by the Secretary of Defense.

The mission of JCOC is to increase public understanding of national defense by enabling American business and community leaders to directly observe and engage with the U.S. military.

Participants are guests of the Secretary of Defense and attend briefings by senior military and civilian officials at the Pentagon. They also gain firsthand experiences through operations and interactions with troops and military leaders stationed throughout the United States. The program currently runs once a year and is managed by the Office of the Assistant to the Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs).
