MILITARY POLICE, A&E, 2002
Follow the changing roles of MPs from the Revolution to the present day.
Military Police - MPs - have been a part of America's armed forces ever since the days of George Washington and the Continental Army. As the monitors, guardians and enforcers of those who serve, they occupy a unique place in the military in times of both peace and war.
MILITARY POLICE traces the evolution of these specialized soldiers over the decades, documenting their changing roles in the face of constantly evolving challenges--whether they come from within the services or new assignments like NATO peacekeeping missions. Extensive interviews with decorated veterans, current MP commanders and military scholars provide fascinating insights into the dangers MPs face everyday, while dramatic footage shows how they are trained in hand-to-hand combat, suspect apprehension, riot control and deadly force.
From the War of Independence to the Gulf War and the Balkans, this edition of "THE ENFORCERS" traces the ever-evolving place of the military police in the armed forces.
