Military Police Operations: Desert Shield/Storm - A Personal Experience Monograph

Abstract

On October 14, 1990 the first elements of the 759th Military Police Battalion deployed from Fort Carson, Colorado to Saudi Arabia as a part of Operation Desert Shield. Throughout the next six months the battalion tested military police doctrine in all four battlefield missions areas, battlefield circulation control, area security, enemy prisoner of war operations and law enforcement, as well as their own training. Although doctrine did not always work the way it was intended it served as an excellent basis and encouraged the ingenuity and flexibility of the individual soldiers in accomplishing the mission.
