3d Infantry Division Military Police

The 3d Infantry Division Military Police (MP) have served as a vital component of the 3d Infantry Division, providing law enforcement, force protection, and battlefield circulation control since their inception. Throughout World War II, elements of the division’s MPs participated in major campaigns across North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and France, ensuring security and discipline within the ranks and managing prisoners of war. In more recent history, the 3d Infantry Division MPs deployed in support of Operations Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom, and Enduring Freedom, where they conducted route security, convoy escort, and detainee operations. Their legacy is marked by adaptability and dedication to safeguarding their fellow soldiers and maintaining order in both combat and garrison environments.
