A dedicated member of the 148th Military Police Detachment (759th MP Battalion) at Fort Carson, Colorado, Rex was a vital link in the chain of safety for our service members and their families.

As a dual-certified patrol and explosive detection dog, Rex served with the elite "Sheepdogs" of the 148th. His daily mission was one of immense responsibility: patrolling the rugged terrain of Colorado to safeguard thousands of personnel and securing critical military resources. Whether on duty at the gates or training in the field, his presence provided a sense of security that only a Military Working Dog can offer.

On October 8, 2022, Rex reached his final resting place. In a moving tribute to a lifetime of service, he was interred here at the Michigan War Dog Memorial. He was laid to rest alongside his handler’s other faithful partner, MWD Gina (R838), ensuring these two brave companions remain together in honored glory.

Though the 148th MP Detachment has since been inactivated, the bond between Rex, Gina, and their handler remains unbreakable. Rex didn't just perform a job; he lived a life of service, protecting those who protect our freedom.

Rest easy, Rex and Gina. Your watch is over, and your legacy is secure.
