US Army military police soldiers play a vital role in protecting Army posts and overseeing military prisons and detention centers for uniformed criminals. Business Insider had the opportunity to spend four days at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri to witness how 31 Bravos and 31 Echos undergo 10 weeks of rigorous training to become military police and detention specialists. The training includes learning skills like riot control, detainee operations, and firing weapons like 9-millimeters in limited visibility with the aid of their flashlight.
With the Army announcing a restructuring of its force in early 2024, focusing more on large-scale combat operations, it raises questions about the impact on the 1,306 military police soldiers training at Fort Leonard Wood. As the Army shifts away from counterinsurgency operations towards potential conflicts with countries like China and Russia, the need for skilled military police soldiers remains paramount for the safety of Army bases worldwide.
This in-depth look at how military police soldiers are trained provides valuable insight into the dedication and skills needed for this crucial role within the US Army. The intense training and preparation showcased in this video highlight the rigorous standards that these soldiers must meet to ensure the security and protection of Army personnel and facilities.
