Integration of Military Police Within the Marine Air-Ground

Abstract

The Marine Corps must generate greater operational agility by improving the integration of Military Police [MP], within the ground component of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force [MAGTF]. The three-block war has rendered separate tactical doctrines (offensive/defensive/ stabilization) obsolete, replacing them with a mode of warfare that is simultaneously full-spectrum. The criticality of non-traditional forces (high demand/low density units) has driven conventional infantry and artillery units towards nonstandard deployments to perform nonstandard missions. As a result, current homogenous MOS density within battalion-sized combat formations is being questioned. In order to better address the fragile "golden hour" of campaign phase transitions, the Marine Corps must generate greater operational agility by improving the integration of Military Police [MP], within the Marine Air-Ground Task Force [MAGTF].
