Defense Health Agency team wins program management award for securing FDA clearance of canine plasma
A critical medical breakthrough for military working dogs earned top honors during the Military Health System Research Symposium, Kissimmee, Florida, Aug. 3, 2026.
The Canine Freeze-Dried Plasma (cFDP) Integrated Product Team earned the MHSRS Program Management Award in recognition of its exceptional collaboration in securing the first-ever Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for a cFDP product.
Since 9/11, Special Operations Forces (SOF) have often been cast as the United States’ sharpest instrument: they hunt high-value targets, train partners, and operate at the seams where conventional forces cannot reach or persist.

The trends remaking warfare—saturated sensors, democratized precision, machine-speed competition below the threshold of war—are dissolving the advantages SOF have enjoyed. The question this raises is not whether SOF will survive the transition, but whether the qualities that made them indispensable during the War on Terror are the same ones that future conflicts will demand.

Getting that terminal to acquire a satellite, with nothing but my Echo talking me through it over the phone, was next to impossible. The equipment worked. The knowledge existed. It just lived in one man’s head on the wrong side of a mountain.
