OPEN LETTER To MPs of World War II

Some wonderful tributes have been paid to you MPs of World War II.

One of the finest was Ernie Pyle's: "Next to Rangers and Paratroopers, they (the military police) are really the pick of the Army."

Quoted on this month's cover is President Eisenhower's most recent comment on his pride in the MPC. It was he who, as Army Chief of Staff in 1946, recommended that the Military Police Corps be made a permanent branch of the U. S. Army.

As fine and as well-deserved as these and many other tributes are, they may be likened to the frosting on the cake you baked. Some 208,000 of you MPs concocted the recipe for that cake over a period of five or more years, each contributing in his own way to its ingredients. But where is that recipe today? Unfortunately, no one has put it in writing.

There is not a single volume, nor a series of volumes that begins to cover adequately the history of the Corps of Military Police in World War II.

You and the Military Police Corps of today have reason to be concerned that the written record of your actions is all too sketchy. In the first year after an important event, more information is lost than will be lost in the next ten years; and more will be lost in the next ten years than in the next century. But there is a solution to the problem-.YOU!

WRITE! Put your favorite war stories on paper, using names, dates, places. Write your old friends who may be out of touch with the Corps today. With all the war stories told at bars, reunions, barracks and BOQs- personal accounts told in classrooms to illus- trate or to refute a point, and "first person" examples used to drive home a critique on a field problem -there are plenty of stories well-remembered that you or someone you know can write.

Actually considerable research has been done on the history of the Corps. So far it has provided the skeleton. Now it is largely up to the individual military policeman who has knowledge of the people, the places, the units, the dates and what happened to put meat on the bones of that skeleton. A history is most alive when it deals with the people who made it.

Your Provost Marshal General takes a keen interest in the history of the Military Police Corps. Currently his office is developing the project which will result in a pub- lished history. Through the Journal you can contribute to that project. Your stories (accompanied by captioned photos when available) may be published in article form in this magazine and also serve as source material for the forthcoming history. Someone said "Writing is the art of applying the seat of one's pants to a chair." Gentlemen, be seated!

Golf Day

Long-hitting Arnold Palmer is "the man to beat" in the third annual MPA International Golf Day when the 1958 Masters champion plays the first round in his title defense at the Augusta National Golf Course on April 2. Golfers throughout the free world are invited to join in the annual charity handicap golf tournament sponsored by the Military Police Association. Now in its third year, this event has attracted local interest all the way from Seoul, Korea, to Berlin, Germany, with over 3,900 players taking part last year. The tourney extends the MP's role as an ambassador of international good will through local charity in communi- ties of the U. S. and allied nations. "I am glad to have this opportunity," commented Arnold Palmer, "and to know that so many people are willing to help better our communities and our country. I would be honored, indeed, to have my first round score at the Masters used in your tournament. I hope it can be a good one." mand and local IGD coordinators about six weeks prior to the DOLLAR TICKET FEATURED event to allow ample time for local publicity.

USAREUR enjoyed its most successful year in the fields The overall military offense rate (quarterly average) of traffic and crime prevention during 1958. For the first dropped from a 1957 figure of 22.17 per 1,000 personnel to time, appreciable gains were chalked up all along the line. a 1958 low of 17.00. Civilian type offenses dropped from 10.2 Much of this success can be attributed to excellent provost to 7.7. marshal planning and military police execution. For the first time in history, the number of traffic fatalities involving both military and privately owned vehicles showed a marked decline of 15%. This 15% reduction was achieved despite a 10.4% increase in private vehicle registration.

The three big "E's" MILITARY OFFENSES CIVILIAN-TYPE OFFENSES normally associated with traffic accident prevention were rote per thousand rote per thousand found to apply equally to crime prevention. The education of personnel in accident and crime prevention techniques was carried out through all available media. Planned selective enforcement was rigorously maintained. Crime prevention surveys often revealed engineering defici- encies which upon correction increased the security of instal- lations. Traffic engineering suggestions were for the most part referred to local civilian authorities who were very cooperative in effecting warranted improvements. SPECIFIC TRAFFIC ACCIDENT PREVENTION METHODS TRAFFIC accident prevention studies developed at the USAR- EUR level contributed to the decline in traffic fatalities. As an example, one traffic study indicated that privately owned vehicle operators in the lower enlisted grades were in- volved in a disproportionate number of fatal accidents. In addition, most of this group of cars were in the five year or older category. The results of this study were followed by command action which proved very effective. Unit com- manders were authorized, subject to review, to disapprove applications for private drivers' permits when the applicant had a poor disciplinary or driving record. A semi-annual inspection of vehicles five years of age or older was initiated in addition to the annual safety inspection of all privately owned vehicles. Personnel under 25 years of age who applied

In addition rigorous training is given the recruit in the art of self defense, including Judo. Special emphasis is also placed in disciplinary drill exercises. During this special training great emphasis is placed on the psychological training of the individual military policeman in order to develop in detail the spirit which must guide him in the accomplishment of his future varied and sometimes complicated duties. The last period of training consists of practical exercises which increase gradually in scope until the level of a large unit during a maneuver period has been reached.

Only volunteers are accepted. All of the career military police officers belong to the Cavalry and attend, in addition to the preparatory classes at the military academies. Special technical and physical training are on a very high level in order to obtain the best qualified personnel and results. At the present time the training of military police personnel designed exclusively for air bases takes place at the Cavalry training centers where they attend a special course. After successful completion of this course. the graduates are designated as Air Police.

DUTIES

WHEN the special basic training has ended, the military police are ready to assume their normal peace and war- time functions which include town patrols, traffic control and supervision, criminal investigation, control of stragglers, special situations - capture, custody, and treatment of prison- ers (International Conventions), signing of military routes , (maps), military justice and other subjects normally associated with military police functions.

FUTURE PROSPECTS N I THE FUTURE the Civilian Territorial Defense will have the responsibility of assisting in carrying out protective measures for the civilian population during military opera- tions. This collaboration will help the Civilian Defense in its efforts to direct and coordinate evacuation and relief move- ments, define danger zones, and carry out the previously established plan for this type of defense. Experience and a more complete knowledge of new pro- cedures and techniques will contribute in the future to higher efficiency of the military police whose spirit of assistance and duty performance has already made them an indispensable part of the Portuguese Armed Forces.

Here the 508th was scattered throughout the celebration at the end of the European phase of WW II. The problem

Page 12 THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL of policing troop areas and controlling traffic was increasing day by day, placing an even greater burden on the 508th. The Battalion Head- quarters and Headquarters Detachment was soon moved from Deuren to Frenchen, Germany. The companies were placed on duty throughout the Aachen-Cologne area. Enormous numbers of refugees and displaced persons flooded the main arteries of travel, creating a problem also in efficient military ransportation. Black markets, vandalism, and the general chaos which follows war told personnel of the 508th that although the fighting was over, a battle of equal importance was just beginning.

THEN CAME MUNCHEN On 16 June 1945, the 508th received orders to leave for Munich. Three days later, slightly more than one month after Nazi powers surrendered to the Allies, the 508th rolled into Munich. In 1948, it could rightfully be said that Germany was making a remarkably swift recovery from the devastations of war. Although many of her cities still wore the wounds of 1945, her industry, her transportation facilities, and her commerce had been rebuilt to a point where the people could look to the future with a more hopeful eye. The military grip had begun to loosen also, and resulting mutual friendliness replaced it. REMINISCING In 1950, members of the Battalion looked back on the five years in Germany and recalled the innumerable changes which had taken place within the organization. With dissension and international strife again A 508th sergeant illustrates the correct individual display coloring the picture, they knew that their role in Europe had in no to two new men of the battalion. By utilizing this military way become static. And as the emphasis in the European Command began shifting from occupation to defense, the 508th began preparing police display room, new men have no trouble fulfilling the to meet the problems which would soon be created by the influx of new SOP of the battalion. units entering Germany.

ANOTHER MOVE AND REORGANIZATION Late in August, 1951, the 508th moved from Stettin Kaserne to McGraw Kaserne which was Munich Military Post Headquarters. On 20 September 1951, in accordance with a directive originating at Head- quarters, European Command, the Battalion was reorganized to include Headquarters Company and four line companies. AND A NEW MISSION TOO The mission of the Battalion was enlarged to include the police responsibility for the entire 11,000 square miles of Munich Military Post, the largest military post in the world, and Garmisch Military Post as well. The units which had previously been assigned to those outlying districts were discontinued, deactivated, or transferred. The 508th absorbed the personnel of those units, thus requiring fewer replacements to fill up the new re-organization. In addition, it was necessary to move units from Munich to other sub-posts in order to discharge effectively the new mission. Headquarters and Headquarters Company, together with Company A and the larger part of Company B, remained in the city. A detachment from Company B was placed at Berchtesgaden, Company C established headquarters at Regensburg, locating two detachments; one at Landshut and the other at Straubing. Company D moved its headquarters to Bad Tolz, with detachments at Garmisch, Murnau, and Degerndorf. REGROUPING SFC Clyde N. Fulton of Company D buttons up the mess Due to changes in the organizational structure of the Southern Area truck before moving out into the field. Command, it became again necessary to regroup elements of the Bat- talion in order to function as a integral unit. The previous form of attachment had resulted in cross servicing between sub areas, confusion, loss of control and loss of unity of command at platoon, company, and battalion level. The Battalion was attached to one sub area, lettered companies were attached to another sub area, and platoons were further attached to a third sub area. Under the new disposition, all elements of the 508th are attached to Munich Sub Area. Today Headquarters Company is located in Munich. Company A (-) is still in Munich with a Detachment in Bad Tolz. Company B (-) is also in Munich with a Detachment in Berchtesgaden. Company C is located in Augsburg. Company D headquarters is situated in Regens- burg with Detachments at Straubing and Landshut. MILITARY POLICE AS AMBASSADORS OF GOOD WILL Lt Col Edward T. Devlin, Commanding officer of the 508th has placed increased emphasis on the concept of military police as "Good Will Ambassadors" and community leaders. Through close association with the German police, many lasting friendships have occurred. Close community ties have been fostered through the battalions' charity con- tributions and support of the Lohe Haus Orphanage in Munich. Munich civic ties have been strengthened by members of the 508th who have participated in German films, attendance at German police sponsored PFC John L. Ladowski, PFC Glenn A. Koerber, Cpl Vin- jubilees and German-American conferences. This year, 1958, the 508th cent J. Guerassio and PFC Andrew E.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY MSGT SYLAN AYCOCK

Feature Editor, 1st Cavalry Cavalier New road signs are being placed through- out the 1st Cavalry Division area in Korea as the result of a joint study and survey to fill U.S. and Republic of Korea needs. Lt Col Ernst F. Liebman, provost marshal of the 1st Cay, conducted a survey with Korean police officials to determine what type of signs were for more effective control. Company D, 8th Engineer Battalion was assigned the job of manufacturing signs which convey their messages by symbols, pictures and words in English and Korean languages. The 1st Cav MP Detachment was given the job of installing the new signs. Main supply routes of the "First Team" are numerically designated in much the same manner as highways in states across the nation. Instead of a sign in the shape of a state, the 1st Cav uses the Division's distinc- tive yellow patch with black stripe and horse's head.

Commencing with three days of indoor classes, the 508th military policemen trans- ferred their studies to the street for four days of practical work, after which they returned to the classroom to review the techniques they had learned. Diplomas were awarded to the men only after they had successfully covered fake acci- dents in the Munich area to prove their profi- ciency in questioning witnesses and obtaining statements. The students were also called upon to draw on-the-scene sketches of the accidents, estimate damages incurred, deter- mine parties involved and fill out final reports.
