502nd MP Company 2nd AD

The 502nd Military Police Company was an integral unit of the 2nd Armored Division (2nd AD), famously known as "Hell on Wheels." Activated during World War II, the 502nd MP Company provided essential law enforcement, security, and battlefield circulation control across campaigns in North Africa and Europe. The company played a critical role during the Normandy invasion and the subsequent push across France and into Germany. Throughout the Cold War, the 502nd continued to serve with the 2nd AD in Europe and the United States, upholding order and discipline until the inactivation of the division in the 1990s.
