89th MP BDE:720 MP BN

The 89th Military Police Brigade (MP BDE), activated in 1966, has provided crucial law enforcement, security, and combat support for the U.S. Army in diverse theaters, including Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Subordinate to the 89th MP BDE, the 720th Military Police Battalion (MP BN) was constituted in 1942 and distinguished itself during World War II, the Vietnam War, and multiple operations since then. The 720th MP BN played a significant role in Vietnam, pioneering counterinsurgency tactics and defending vital infrastructure along the Long Binh-Bien Hoa corridor. Both units continue to serve with distinction, upholding law and order, force protection, and detainee operations in support of global Army missions.
