Leveraging the Military Police Corps: Versatility in Support of USASOC

Abstract

By creating regionally organized Military Police (MP) units and developing an MP-Army Special Operations Forces (ARSOF) database, the MP Corps can enhance Special Operation Forces' (SOF) efforts in support of Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCCs) and thus increasing capabilities at a minimal cost. The MP Corps can effectively support ARSOF missions, increase their capabilities, and free up SOF to increase partnerships across the globe. In order to better support ARSOF and GCC efforts, the MP Corps should develop a capabilities database and establish a battalion-size element with companies that are regionally aligned. This will allow for continuity of regional experience and enhanced partnerships, while reducing the mission load of ARSOF and increasing the effectiveness of MP support.
