549th MP Co.

The 549th Military Police Company (MP Co.), known as the “Dragon Fighters,” was originally constituted on 15 July 1942 and activated at Fort Ontario, New York. During World War II, the unit provided critical military police support in the European Theater, contributing to law enforcement, security, and prisoner-of-war operations. Over the decades, the 549th MP Co. has deployed to various locations, including Panama during Operation Just Cause, the Balkans, Iraq, and Afghanistan, in support of both combat and peacekeeping missions. Today, the unit remains an integral part of the 385th Military Police Battalion, stationed at Fort Stewart, Georgia, continuing its legacy of discipline, protection, and service.
