That depends on the country of service, but for the US - absolutely!
The US Military employs several different types of animals in service roles - particularly military working dogs. Veterinary personnel are needed to maintain the health and readiness of these service animals.
Veterinary personnel also play a role in maintaining the health and safety of military outposts across the world by implementing animal control programs and ensuring that pets are kept in good health.
