  • U.S. Marshal at Gettysburg
    The U.S. Marshal at Gettysburg Charles Teague A typical American envisioning U.S. Marshals may imagine them bringing peace and order to the frontier with the fabled Wyatt Earp or the Hollywood hero, Matt Dillon. But the historic accounts of marshals during the American Civil War are no less intriguing and are more significant. That is particularly so regarding the provost marshal of the Army of the Potomac, Marsena Patrick, who served at Gettysburg during and immediately after the battle. Each of the two words in his title has a storied past still hinted at in twenty-first-century America. Marshal is derived from the Teutonic, meaning “master of the horse,” and is commonly used yet today to describe the one responsible for a parade. Provost comes from the Latin conveying the idea of “one who is placed above others.” Many colleges today have a provost, the chief academic officer who stands second only to the president. A provost marshal general serves as a high-ranking officer who carries the authority of his commander in assuring order in the army. In recent years, the U.S. Army has again brought the terminology to prominence, replacing the term provost marshal with military police, or MP’s.1 One of the earliest documents prescribing the duties of the provost marshal is a 1629 edict from King Charles of England: The Provost must have a horse allowed him and some soldiers to attend him and all the rest commanded to obey and assist, or else the Service will suffer: for he is but one man and must correct many and therefore cannot be beloved.

  • FM 3-39. Military Police Operations
    FM 3-39 MILITARY POLICE OPERATIONS APRIL 2019 DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTION: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. This publication supersedes FM 3-39, dated 26 August 2013. Headquarters, Department of the Army Foreword Future operations will occur in complex, chaotic, violent, and uncertain operational environments against peer and near peer threats. These threats are significantly more dangerous in terms of capability and magnitude than those we faced over the last 17 years of conflict. Our Army will accomplish its mission by supporting the joint force through four strategic roles: shape operational environment, prevent conflict, conduct large-scale ground combat, and consolidate gains. The strategic roles clarify the enduring reasons for which the United States Army is organized, trained, and equipped. FM 3-39, Military Police Operations, describes the operational doctrine for the Military Police Corps Regiment. The revision of FM 3-39 reorients military police support to largescale ground combat while simultaneously supporting other types of operations around the world to prevent peer and near-peer adversaries from gaining positions of relative advantage. Our Army remains the strongest and best land fighting force in the world and the Military Police Corps remains critical to its success. The role of the Military Police Corps is to provide the Army with Soldiers who are professionals in policing, investigations, and corrections. Our military police disciplines of police operations, detention operations, and security and mobility support combined with our core competencies enables us to protect and preserve the force, enable maneuver, and shape the security environment both at home stations and in support of combat operations enabling commanders to apply maximum combat power in support of decisive action any place in the world–against any enemy.

Some of us meet in PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES FOR other venues such as churches or community service organizations, MARCH but it is always a treat to meet and greet with you at our Social Hours and Luncheons. Everyone has experiences to share and stories to tell. FRIDAY, MARCH 10TH This year's presentations at both the Social Hours and Luncheons have been terrific. Our special thanks to MAJ (USAF Ret) John SOCIAL HOUR MacDonald for his recent inspiring discussion of perseverance as a Japanese POW in the Philippines. Plan to join us at future events. DOUBLETREE HOTEL Recently I had the chance to discuss burial options with one of our 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. members. It's a subject that we all should be planning for because it's a fact of life. Do we want to be laid to rest in a family plot or in a $9.00 PER PERSON military cemetery? If we do choose a Veteran’s cemetery , how is that NO HOST/CASH BAR handled? What about military honors or spousal benefits? Prompted by this recent discussion, your board has decided to collect pertinent “AND THERE I WAS…” information and post it on our website. We hope to have a comprehensive listing in the next few months. If you haven't checked CAPT FRED WELDON out the WMMOA website at wmmoa.org, this is just another reason US ARMY to be familiar with this great source of information.
