Germany, France, Italy, or Korea - these are normal tours of duty for US soldiers. SFC Sherman R. Henderson, 37, and SSgt Joseph L. Penvose, 31, of the US Army MP School had each seen most of Europe and the Far East. But earlier this year, they were picked to travel into a part of the world seldom traversed by US military. They were sent to the Republic of Liberia, Africa. They were a Military Police Mobile Training Team (MTT). The two sergeants, both instructors in the MP School, arrived in Liberia 19 January 1963 and remained until 14 April 1963. They were responsible for training the first MP detachment in Liberia. They trained 75 Liberians - one officer, 63 enlisted men for the new Liberian MP Detachment, and 11 Liberian National Coast Guard men. Sergeant Henderson estimates that the Liberian Army totals 6,000 men. It has a TO&E similar to that of the US Army, and its weapons and equipment are all US issue.

REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA The Republic of Liberia is located in the northwest Atlantic coast section of Africa. It is slightly larger than the State of Ohio and has approximately two and a half million inhabitants. The country is bordered on the north by Sierra Leone, on the east by the Republic of Guinea, and on the south by the Ivory Coast. Liberia's principle cities are on the coast; its capital Sergeant Henderson said, but temperatures did is Monrovia, named after the United States' President Monroe. not too trying, The January to April time of year The country was founded in 1822 as a free colony for ex-slaves go as high as 100 degrees. summer.

They were called only one many problems in the processing and final assignment to the prisoner of war camps located on the island of Kojedo. It was after their arrival on Kojedo Island that the prisoners became a part of a well organized communist plot designed to embarrass the United Nations Command, and keep many combat troops from the front line. History will bear out the fact that their actions met with considerable success. The most celebrated case certainly, was the capture of General Francis Dodd by the communist prisoners of Compound No. 76, on 7 May 1952. Deliberations leading to the Korean Armistice were begun in July, 1951, and terminated in an Armistice Agreement in July, 1953. While most people will associate prisoner of war violence with Kojedo, it is not entirely so, for it was also true of other branch communist prisoner of war camps and also included, to a lesser extent, non-communist and civilian in- ternee camps located on the Korean mainland. Yet, as agree- ment was reached on each item on the agenda, plans were being developd by Prisoner of War Command, to transport all prisoners choosing repatriation to the exchange point near Panmunjom. So it was that on 26 July 1953, Yongdongpo Transient A carload of North Korean prisoners of war departs Camp (Prov) APO 971, came into being.

It was necessary to insure positive identification of each prisoner assigned to the packet. A fingerprint team consisting of one officer and 13 enlisted men performed expertly, printing and identifying 600 PWs in less than 1 hour, and thus contributed directly towards maintenance of our schedules. In only a single instance did prisoners attempt disruption of identification processes. As the prisoner was printed, the print was compared with his file record. When it appeared questionable, a second im- pression was made. If still questionable, he was rejected and shunted to the side. On this occasion, exactly 60 failed to pass - one car.

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL Subject: 229d uaieww ay

On behalf of the men and women of the United States Army, I extend congratu- lations and best wishes to the members of the Military Police Corps on the occasion of its twenty-second anniversary.

Although the Corps' history as a permanent branch of the Army spans a relatively short period of time, the essential functions you perform have been recog- nized by the Army and accomplished by temporary agencies in the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War I. In the 22 years since its establishment as a separate organization of the Army, the Military Police Corps has compiled an enviable record of achievements and has earned an outstanding reputation for service in both peace and war. The professional skill and devotion to duty which you have displayed in carrying out your many important responsibilities have been a source of pride to the Army and have contributed to its effectiveness.

I congratulate you on the fine record you have achieved and express confidence in your continued success.

Earle G. Wheeler General, United States Army Chief of Staff

On this the twenty-second anniversary of the Military Police Corps, we again need to focus our attention on our capabilities and potential in this present cold war era and in the team role we must continue to play in our rapidly developing modern Army.

The Corps' active participation in many areas throughout the world in the counterinsurgency field and our recent contributions to control of civil disturbances are but two important areas which we can all look to with much pride.

But, we must concentrate our efforts on ways to improve our doctrine, equipment, technical "know-how" and individual proficiency so that we can stay out in front and further amplify our motto "Of The Troops and For The Troops."

As we enter our twenty-third year, each of us must rededicate ourselves to self-improvement which will contribute so greatly to a more efficient Corps. As we face this and new challenges, I am confident that the Corps will move forward with the same success which has marked our past achievements.

To all military policemen and their families, world-wide, my sincere best wishes for your continued success in the years ahead.

Ralph J. Butchers Major General, USA The Provost Marshal General

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL left little doubt in the minds of the communist forces that the US meant business. When the East German puppet government first used barbed wire to close off all but eight of the original 87 crossing points between West Berlin and the Soviet sector of the city they proclaimed that Friedrichstrasse was the only authorized crossing point for foreigners to enter East Berlin. Shortly after the first barrier was hastily thrown up to halt the surge of refugees seeking freedom, military policemen of Berlin Brigade were posted at the border on Friedrichstrasse to control the movement of certain personnel between the US and Soviet sectors and to keep an eye cocked toward East Berlin. Since then the wall has grown, and has been strengthened and reinforced with tank barriers; Checkpoint Charlie has grown from an operation involving Infantry, Armor and other US Berlin Brigade units to a five-man MP detail recognized as specialists in border duty. Traffic and spectator control, handling of refugees and defectors, reporting of intelligence information, and escorting are among the duties performed. Identification of Soviet and East German personnel, rank, equipment and weapons require special training. The MPs on duty at the checkpoint rub elbows with tourists and dignitaries from all over the world. Most observe the wall from West Berlin. Among these have been Press Secretary Pierre Salinger, Adlai Stevenson and President John F. Kennedy. Others, such as Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev, have demonstrated a preference for the view from the other side. Other visitors are, in their own way, just as interesting as the Soviet Union's current number-one man.

THE PARIS POLICE Because of its position as the capital and by far the most important city in France, the city of Paris has always had a special administrative status. The city proper has no mayor as do other French cities. The Department of the Seine consists of the city of Paris and 80 smaller municipal areas surrounding the capital. The executive authority for the department is vested in two pre- fects. Both are appointed by the Minister of Interior. The first is responsible for all departmental administration except police matters while the second is responsible for police opera- tions. The Prefect of Police was established by the law of the 28th Pluviose of the eighth year of the revolutionary calendar (17 February 1800). He has, in the Seine department, com- plete jurisdiction for judicial and administrative police matters. He has the power to formulate police regulations to be applied in the whole of the Seine Department, and the task of enforcing the laws and ordinances. This is justified by the importance of the Paris area, which contains one eighth of the French population and almost 300,000 foreigners. The Prefect of Police has at his disposal an administration called the Pre- fecture of Police which comprises central and administrative services and the operational services, the most noteworthy of which is the Municipal Police. The Police Municipale (Municipal Police) correspond to the city police force of other cities. This force consists of approximately 20,000 men and is charged with traffic control, On the famed Champs de Mars, with the Eiffel Tower maintenance of public order and other normal police functions. in the background, French Gendarme Rene Neveaux checks Personnel are assigned to 20 police districts (Commissariats the map of the area with Sergeants William G.

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL PLAIN CLOTHESMEN The Judicial Police, a 2,000 man force, seeks out criminals, apprehends them and subsequently turns them over to the Justice authorities. Contrary to popular belief in the United States where the Surete Nationale (National Security Police) is compared to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Paris police to a city police force, the Judicial Police investigate all crimes committed in the Seine Department regardless of their nature to include crimes against the state, murders, kidnappings, counterfeit monies and narcotics violations. The Judicial Police is composed of several specialized brigades among which are the Criminal Brigade, the Vice Brigade and the Juvenile Brigade; 10 Territorial Brigades, 80 Paris commissariats and 26 suburban commissariats. It has at its disposal various scientific and technical services in- cluding anthropometry, photography, a fingerprint identifica- tion and interpretation laboratory, the latest scientific labora- tories and a central registry.

SEPTEMBER, 1963 FORT MYER DOGS ASSUME NEW ROLE

By Maj Donald N. Russell Fort Myer Provost Marshal

In the spring of 1962, two Fort Myer military policemen were trained at the Air Force Sentry Dog Training Center, Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, in the handling of sentry dogs. The men and their dogs completed a thorough eight week sentry dog training cycle and returned to Fort Myer, the ceremonial post of the Army, for assignment to duty. The dogs and their handlers were trained as alert, vicious sentry dog teams primarily for use in remote and fenced areas, neither of which are common to Fort Myer. Consequently the dogs had to be retrained for a more docile role. We desired A Fort Myer patrol dog practices entering an auto- friendly dogs that would not be overly excitable in public and mobile the easy way during a workout session at the around crowds and traffic but would be unquestionably loyal obstacle course constructed for retraining of the sentry and obedient to their handlers. dogs. The retraining program was initiated immediately and before any dog patrols could commence in our small, con- gested, metropolitan-type atmosphere, the dogs had to become accustomed to, and familiar with, this new type role. This was a complete reverse from the sentry training they had just received. Their obedience had to be absolutely perfect and no allowance for errors was tolerated. The handlers had to have complete control of their dogs at all times for the mission .ultimately was to patrol openly in congested areas and build- ings where the public has free access. The initial step in the retraining program consisted of building an obstacle course where obedience, coordination and endurance of mental stress would be taught. We felt this chal- lenge would assist us more readily in teaching the dogs the type of stern obedience we needed. In addition, training around people and vehicular traffic was included until the dogs accepted this as a part of normal life. When this phase was completed the art of teaching the dog how to track began in conjunction with the United States Park Police Dog School located in Washington, D. C. This took about two months of work and patience. The tracking school completed our entire retraining cycle for our police IA I % I C (Above) Another closed door poses no promem Tor MP dog handler Pfc Robert G.

Obstacles were constructed to require maximum coordination between dog and handler. An arm signal from the handler and one of the Myer dogs eliminates a high wall with one leap and a quick scramble over the top. All retraining emphasized com- plete cooperation between man and dog to insure an alert and responsive patrol partnership. dogs. The conversion of our sentry dogs to friendly obedient police dogs had been thorough, tedious and time consuming; however, our efforts proved to be valid. Once the retraining phase was completed we commenced utilizing the police dog teams on walking patrols in the sensitive post areas which had previously been designated with appropriate warning signs. The patrol areas included Arling- (Above) SP4 Carlisle of the Myer MP detachment and ton National Cemetery, the VIP quarters where 24 senior his dog partner patrol the grounds of Arlington National general officers reside, warehouse areas, areas of known Cemetery alert for trespassers and other unauthorized vandalism and the post fence line. In addition, our patrol activity. (Below) Pfc Gailey and dog stand ready in the services were afforded to Fort Leslie J. McNair and Cameron amphitheater at Arlington.

During the Cuban ton where there is free public access and crowds and crisis when security was enhanced at Fort Myer, the dogs noise are commonplace. (ALL US ARMY PHOTOS) played an important role in personal security which was warmly received and praised by our senior officers living on post. Since the introduction of the police dog patrols, Fort Myer has experienced no acts of vandalism; the stripping of automobiles has diminished and trespassers in Arlington Na- tional Cemetery have been eliminated. The dogs have proven that they can function well within a crowded, congested in- stallation when properly trained for this type mission and that the psychological deterrent effect is obviously successful and omnipresent. Today our dogs are extremely friendly. They love children and are remarkably obedient, but, if the situation warrants or if harm is imminent to their handlers, they will attack upon command. The extremely complicated and intricate dog ob- stacle course which we built at Fort Myer materially assisted us in training our dogs more thoroughly in basic and advanced obedience and for preparing them for their new role. When we originally obtained these dogs we were apprehen- sive as to their overall value and hesitant about their vicious- ness toward people, traffic and noise. Today, since our re- training has been completed, our misgivings have vanished. We zealously pride ourselves in the role of our police dogs and in their conversion from their original sentry dog role. They are sure, alert, conscientious guardians of the peace and tranquility of our installation along with their military police handlers. END

THE MILITARY POLICE JOURNAL Sergeant Major Deals In i(1rkellanbr

"Uhlan. Pickelhaube." What? That's the language of helmet collecting for Sergeant Major Clifford B. Foster of the 385th Military Police Battalion. The World War II veteran of 18 years service has increased his collection considerably during this tour of duty in Germany. The majority of his helmets are of the World War I Imperial "Pickelhaube" variety, literally, "pickle helmets." These are distinguished by the elaborate frontal coat of arms and the spike or ball on top. The helmets topped with a ball are Artillery helmets; the spiked variety served for other branches. Sergeant Foster counts a World War I Wurttemburg general's helmet as his "prize." Older helmets of the Na- poleonic period dot the collection which includes a World War I aviator's crash helmet, an early German police "shako" and a World War II Afrika Korps helmet. It's hard to put a finger on the reason for the hobby, but the fact that these helmets represented the soldier's most per- sonal item of equipment, plus their distinct national charac- teristics, is as good a reason as any for their appeal. German regimental beer steins, military uniforms and over Sergeant Major Clifford B.
