The 320th Military Police Company is a unit in the United States Army Reserve, originally constituted during World War II. Activated in 1943, the company provided crucial military police support in the European Theater, including traffic control, security, and prisoner of war operations. In subsequent decades, the 320th MP Company participated in various training exercises and supported domestic operations, including disaster relief and homeland security missions. More recently, the unit has been deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom, continuing its legacy of service both at home and abroad.

The 73rd Field Hospital was first constituted on 25 July 1941 and activated on 1 August 1941 at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. During World War II, the unit provided critical medical support across the European Theater, notably participating in campaigns in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, and Central Europe. After the war, the 73rd underwent several reorganizations and was later reactivated to support U.S. Army operations, including deployments during Operation Desert Storm. Today, the 73rd Field Hospital continues its legacy of delivering high-quality medical care to soldiers in both peacetime and combat operations.

After the war, the unit was inactivated and later reactivated multiple times, adapting to changing military police missions. Today, the 795th Military Police Battalion is stationed at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, where it conducts training for new military police soldiers, upholding its legacy of discipline and service.
