720th MP BN

The 720th Military Police Battalion was activated on 20 January 1942 at Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. During World War II, the battalion served in Australia and the Pacific Theater, providing critical law enforcement and security support. In the Vietnam War, the 720th MP Battalion earned distinction for its convoy security and counterinsurgency operations, particularly in the Long Binh and Saigon areas. Since then, the unit has deployed in support of operations in Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan, continuing its legacy of service in both combat and peacetime missions.
