    Written about the US Army Military Police. Supporting The Three "I am the Infantry, follow me Not a foot soldier, we're much more you see We'll take the fight to the enemy I am the Infantry, first of THE THREE." "I am the Cavalry, follow me A modern day horse soldier in an APC Charging straight forward to the enemy I am the Cav, most daring of THE THREE." "I am the Armor, follow me The arm of decision I'll always be When the going gets rough, call on me I am Armor, the best of THE THREE." "Armor, Cav and Infantry Rush headlong into the melee Breaking the lines like an angry sea Deep into enemy territory." "Approaching a crossroads, what do we see The area secured by two lonely MPs Directing us forward, how can this be How long has he been here waiting for me?" "What a crazy person an MP must be He has no firepower or armor like me And I thought everyone followed THE THREE." "Armor, Cav and Infantry I am the MP, don't follow me You don't want to be where I will be Guarding a crossroad, waiting for THE THREE Just my partner, a sixteen, a sixty and me." "With the objective taken, wait and see No one will remember the lonely MP Who held this ground so they could run free But that's my job, supporting THE THREE!"

    I highly recommend a series of autobiographical books written by ex civpol and ex rmp cop Wally Payne. First book is called A Monkey's Tale. Having fallen foul of the chief con in a provincial police force in the 1960s, he then joined RMP where he went from one dodge to another, ending up as an LE officer. Very funny read.

      @@corporate_marshmallow I guess you wrote this for a reaction, normally I wouldn’t bother but I’ll make an exception just for you.. Thank you, random stranger, for your devaluation of a 32 year career, your devaluation of a police force whose history predates the MPS and finally for your devaluation of the Army Reserve and its members.. WOW! Of course I know nothing about you but your one short sentence has given me a shrewd idea of what type of person you are, but before I go into that, I must admit your short sentence did give me a chance to reflect on my career as a “fake cop”. What did I do? What did I achieve? I’m retired now and have been for the last 6 years, during my service I served in a variety of roles, mostly on the front line dealing with a whole host of incidents ranging from minor byelaw offences, public order, theft, robbery, fraud, assaults (from common assault through to GBH) and even managed a couple of stints on murder investigation teams. Then there were the suicides, walking along railway line picking up dismembered pieces of human remains, there were the rail disasters, I never have forgotten the Ladbroke Grove train crash and hearing mobile phones ringing inside the wrecked carriages, relatives, husbands, wives trying to contact their missing partners. This of course is just a short overview of what I did in my career, it didn’t feel fake to me but then what do I know compared with your obvious depth of knowledge? Still as you say, fake cop… Let’s go into what my perception of you is.. You’re a baiter. Of course as a BTP officer (fake cop if you insist) I got used to being baited from time to time, it went with the territory. I met some good baiters, bad baiters, some excellent baiters. You, however stand out the most.. You’re a master-baiter..

Find, apprehend and return deserters. Protect key crossroads or other strategic places. Protect facilities in vulnerable areas from counter attacks, espionage, and insurgent forces.
