As a sergeant and a squad leader in the Finnish MP I can confirm that most of the conscripts are very capable soldiers and will perform their duty if ever needed. In time of war the MP will be the ones who will be one of the first branch in contact with the enemy - and often the first contact will be with their special forces in a highly important target like an airbase.
I served as a MP in the mid-90s. We practiced exactly those kinds of operations in various urban warfare environments. The training also included VIP protection on foot and in various vehicles, reconnaissance (including violent reconnaissance), protection of civilian and military targets, counter-terrorism operations, crowd control, etc. The training was interesting, you had to build various DIY bombs, which also taught you how to detect them, you got to shoot with various weapons (including the Suomi submachine gun), and in general you learned a lot about observing the environment and potential threats and reacting to them.
A friend of mine some 30 years ago did his military service in the MP. According to him it was very intense, he was an athlete and got chosen to a special unit, tasked with protecting the high state officials from a decapitation attack on Finland. He later found out despite the sort of cool wartime job the quite often repeating refresher training took a toll on his family life.
Military police in finland is very different from what you see in movies from america. MP in finland army is very action heavy, alit of firepower. My unit was about 20 men and we had dogs, snipers, machine gunners and powerful pasi armor vehicles to move around. Maybe not every military police is same as i was in the special jaeger brigade in utti.
I can tell you from my experience. I was in the pioneer company as my "boot camp" in the army. I knew i could get into sof because my eyes are so bad. Military police was the next best thing for action training and similar to special forces theres alot special training in military police. I got into military police and it was great. Its not boring patrol stuff, theres alot of interesting training. Its very different what people think
I dont know how to edit comments so have to clarify mistakes. I wanted in sof but i cannot get in sof and military police was the next best thing for action and "rambo" stuff and it did not dissapoint me. MP for like! Lets go finland army reserves we are ready 🇫🇮
We always called military police dogs, and there's ongoing joke that on your last day, you buy dog food and give to the military police that's on the gates of your place of service. but it's all good fun, all the branches have something "bad" about them from someone elses point of view.
Hole Finnish nation is kind of trained to defend this country. One way or another. And yes, other European countries should do the same. Even tho it doesn't have to be this huge but anyway at some level. Just professional army is not enough.
this is made for conscripts, whom are choosing their conscription path. and yeah this was made in a time before all that secrecy. i remember, there been some kind of debacle about buildings tactical colouring

I have to say, i like this even not watching because i was in the mp forces of finland and that was great. Now on to your video. I comment more after watching
Theres no way to contact u so i try to flood your video comments maybe u see this: react to HÄJYT movie and finland army special forces and finland navy seal if u can find videos about them. Any other military content from finland highly apreciated as well. Thqnk you
React to finland navy special forces. They are same like SEAL in america but they dont go airborne, they focus only in naval special warfare so not A in the finland frog men. Still ita super cool and super special unit in finland and can be compared with marine marsoc and navy seal in usa

Pretty much the same in Upinniemi SPOL/05, but without the Pasi´s. We used mostly jeeps, masis and jurmos.

This IS joke. We have real soldiers and polises.. that was what we do.. .. not actors in Finland.
Maybe nice to know, this is made about 15 years ago.
My brother was a military police in the80s. Used the stik a lot.
