Currently the most commonly used animal is the dog. They serve as protectors and can search out explosives and hidden enemies.

Other animals that have or are currently used in the military:

  • Horses
  • Mules
  • Homing pigeons
  • Camels
  • Dolphins
  • Oxen
  • Elephants

The Dickin Award is given to animals that have provided distinguished service in combat and similar situations. While dogs are the most common recipients, horses and pigeons, along with one cat, have received the award.
