Another good article. I liked that you highlighted the role of the military police! Battlefield circulation is a key part of a well executed operation.
And true professionals study intelligence, or so I was told by the MI types.
Amusing and comprehensive summary. Just for informational purposes, in the U.S. Armed Forces, Army MPs also handle rear area security, along with base defense forces and tactical combat forces.
Hiya! Yes, very similar in the UK - MPs are tasked with a lot of rear area security, but as rear area security is an 'all arms' game and my section on them was getting quite long, I didn't dwell on it for brevity. Not sure if it is the same in the US, but the Royal Military Police also hold the responsibility for close protection of VIPs in-theatre.
Good run down, would be great to see a something similar on navies and air forces!
Thank you! I'll see what I can do!
The Padre/DJ combo doesn't surprise me at all. Both jobs require someone to lead a group into a “mood.”
