Abstract:

Its no mistake that since the beginning of the Civil War the United States Army has activated the Military Police (MP) at the onset of every major conflict and deactivated it at the end of every major conflict up to the end of World War II. The inference is that the Army needs Military Police in Combat. Given that premise in 1942 Congress made the Military Police Corps a permanent branch in the U.S. Army. Their role in combat is clearly necessary as proven by their repeated successes conducting combat operations throughout a variety of theaters.
