Hi there,
Thank you for your question.
We have a lot of questions about Military Dog Handlers so I would recommend using the search function at the top of the page and reading though the previous questions and answers. The answer at this link is particularly useful; https://british-army.career-inspiration.com/app/discussions/view/93579/while-doing-my-dog-handler-training-will-i-get-to-choose-if-i-wanna-train-a-protection-dog-or-a-specialist-dog-to-be-min.
Dog handler are soldiers so are trained in combat and the use of weapons and will absolutely deploy overseas on operations.
I hope the link provides the information you are looking for.
