The 704th Military Police Battalion (704th MP BN) was originally constituted on 19 July 1942 in the Army of the United States and activated at Camp Shelby, Mississippi. During World War II, the unit provided critical military police support in Europe, participating in key campaigns including Normandy and Rhineland. After the war, the battalion underwent several inactivations and reactivations, adapting to the evolving needs of the U.S. Army. In recent decades, the 704th MP BN has supported law enforcement operations, force protection, and deployment missions both at home and abroad, upholding the proud traditions of the Military Police Corps.
