Which statement about Army Pre-Deployment Training is true?

• A. They stay at their home station.
• B. Fort Bliss is used for Army Pre-Deployment.
• C. Navy uses Yuma Proving Ground.
• D. Fort Benning is used for Army Pre-Deployment.

Answer: (A)

Army Pre-Deployment Training is conducted at the unit’s home station, keeping the dog team and handler in their familiar environment to ensure readiness and quick deployment without the disruption of moving to a different location. This approach supports continuity in routines, equipment setup, and command relationships that are already integrated with daily operations. The other statements try to tie APDT to a specific base or to another service’s facility, which isn’t how this training is structured. In practice, the Army’s pre-deployment activities are carried out where the unit is stationed, rather than at a fixed installation like Fort Bliss or Fort Benning, and they are distinct from Navy training pipelines that use different locations.
