As we ring in the New Year, we are entering our eighth year of the War on Terrorism.

The senior leaders of our Regiment are striving to maintain a voice in determining future Army requirements. We are working hard to ensure that military police are well trained and well equipped. There has been exceptional improvement in military police interoperability—especially with our maneuver support peers. Together, we are
