Military Police Support to Brigade Combat Teams

Abstract

This paper discusses the use of Military Police forces, at the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) level, within our Army today. BCT Staff, often even commanders, do not understand how to effectively use their Military Police (MP) assets. From the BCT level down to the Battalion and Separate Company Command, and Operations levels there is a lack of understanding by these combat leaders of what Military Police bring to the fight. When leaders across the BCT begin to understand their Military Police elements capabilities, and start integrating and synchronizing those capabilities into the plans and orders within the BCT, they will see significant increases in the effectiveness of their forces and security within their battle space.
