Which regulation directs the Navy MWD program?

Which regulation directs the Navy MWD program?

• A. OPNAVINST 5585.1
• B. OPNAVINST 5585.0
• C. OPNAVINST 5585.3
• D. OPNAVINST 5585.2

Answer: (D)

The question tests which regulation is the formal directive that governs how the Navy’s Military Working Dog program is run. In the 5585 series of OPNAV Instructions, 5585.2 is the primary instruction that directs the MWD program, establishing policy, responsibilities, training standards, care and welfare, veterinary support, and overall program management. That makes it the governing document for the program. The other numbers in the 5585 family are either earlier versions or cover related topics but do not serve as the main directive for the entire MWD program.
