Caisson platoon offers adoption programJOINT BASE MYER, HENDERSON HALL, Va. -- The caisson platoof the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) has instituted anadoption program that protects its horses from being euthanized. "Wdefinitely don't want anycaisson horses going toslaughter houses," ChiefWarrant Officer Anthony

DiRenzo, caisson platoonleader, said. The adoptionprogram is a spin off of thetransfer program that hasbeen in place since thecaisson platoon wasestablished. Under thetransfer program, horseswere only allowed to betransferred to government or federal agencies. A change from theword "dog" to "animal" in Section 2583 under Title 10 of the U.S. Cenabled the caisson platoon to start a process that will allow private

owners independent of the military to be given old, hurt ortemperamental caisson horses. The code states that the secretary the Army may make a military animal available for adoption by aperson or entity. Recently the authority has been delegated to Maj.Gen. Karl R. Horst, Joint Force Headquarters-National Capital Regand Military District of Washington commander. The caisson horseholds an honored position. It is charged with the duty of escorting aservicemember killed in action and those in the rank of sergeantsmajor or higher to their eternal resting place in Arlington NationalCemetery. Article
