FORT BELVOIR, Va. - U.S. Army Capt. Madison Bartosh, a veterinarian assigned to Veterinary Readiness Activity, Fort Belvoir, performs surgery at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, May 8, 2024. The surgery was part of VRAFB’s annual training exercise which aimed to simulate an influx of military working dog surgeries by offering 20 spay and neuter operations for pets of active-duty service members and retirees in three days. Bartosh, a graduate of Texas A&M Veterinary School, says the unique patient population of the National Capital Region is one of the more challenging, but rewarding, aspects of practicing in the area.
