A corps of the armed services concerned with animal medicine, the chief interest of
which is the care of government-owned working dogs (as in the military police units),
working horses (as in state funerals), and working military dolphins (as in undersea
exploration and other activities). In the United States Army Veterinary Corps animal
medicine overlaps and interconnects with biomedical research using laboratory research
animals. A related activity is laboratory animal care. The Corps provides limited
care for privately owned animals of military personnel through non-appropriated funds.
Military service veterinarians in the United States Army must be graduates of accredited
veterinary schools and must have a state license. (Telephone communication with Lt.
Col. William Inskeep II, U.S. Army Veterinary Corps, October 4, 1994)
