Commander, 74th Troop Command

On this day in 1941, the Military Police Corps became a permanent branch of the . While the corps celebrates its 75th birthday this year, its roots can be traced back to the formation of a provost unit, the Marechaussee Corps, during the Revolutionary War. With a name borrowed from the French term for provost troops, the special unit was assigned by General George Washington to perform those necessary police functions required in camp and in the field. The U.S. Army Soldiers who serve as Military Police today continue those same traditions of duty, service, and security.
