Hey everyone! We hope you enjoy our video on United States Military Police! As always, if you learned something, make sure to give us a like and subscribe if you're new! We will see you Friday with another video. Do you even wanna be here?!
Great video but in the USCG more than ME do LE functions. I was active duty and a BM and spent the majority of my time performing Law Enforcement duties.
Been waiting on this! Spent 8yrs as an MP, then 4 more as a DACP working out of the same office. Was a reservist with multiple mobilizations, but all right to the same CONUS instillation because I was in a Garrison Support Unit. Spent 6mo on the installation SRT till we demob’ed in 2002, never got to go to the SRT school house, but found out I was supposed to be there alongside another guy when I showed up to guard mount and a random team leader that wasn’t even my shift team leader asked WTF I was doing there, why wasn’t I at FLW with SSG ****? Uh, because nobody flipping told me?
Alpha 787 graduate May 2001, pre-9/11. DACP Academy in May 2010 out of what had been the old Delta or Echo 795 barracks right next to the big 795 starship.
Also, while alluded to, the Army & USMC both have a joint school. So much so that primary instructors for the Army (especially pre-9/11) were Marines, where as Jar Heads were taught by the Army. Then there’s the SRT school house. It is ran by the Army yet is usually staffed by civilians, & is an all service school as USMC, Navy, & AF tactical teams all go there for it.
Also out of USAMPS is the USMC ran INWIC. That’s the non lethal weapon instructor course.
The K9 school, ran by the Air Force out at Lackland, and is an all services course. In addition to the all the service LEO organizations, it is also for most of the special ops guys as well.
I’ve been out of the MP game for a minute or two but that info should all be correct or very similar.
Oh, and y’all completely didn’t mention the investigation teams. Just like each branch calls their tactical teams different (SRT, ERT), the local level investigation teams are named different as well. Army MPI, believe the Corps is the same, while navy and chair Force have oddball names for it.
Anyway, MPI is the local detective agency. They do what amounts to misdemeanor and minor felonies, then augment the CID guys whenever needed.
And while you’ve covered CID and NCIS in the past, there’s also a joint CID/MP task force called the Drug Suppression Team. It’s made up of line MP’s and CID agents.
You should cover US Postal Police
Thanks for the shoutout guys 🙏
Very
No problem man! Hope you're doing well
Wat
Austin Alexander I didn't expect u WOW
I love ur videos man keep up the great work
I spent 20 yrs in the Army as an MP. Through the years I worked nearly every aspect of the MOS, from basic Law Enforcement patrols, Traffic Accident Investigation, MWD Handler, MPI (Investigations) Special Reaction Team etc. That's not even including Combat Operations in Kosovo, Bosnia, Iraq (3x) and Afghanistan (2x). There are so many different and challenging opportunities in the career field, and I feel lucky to have been able to have so many experiences and opportunities.
thank you for your service brotha.
Hope you got your LEOSA certification
What where u
Thank you for serving our country.
Hey, I’m thinking about joining MP is it exciting?
We always joked we were "Multi Purpose"
Thank you, MP!
What was your experience as an MP?
@@lordvader624 it wasn't easy work. Another common saying in the MP Corps is mps eat their own. You're held to a high standard compared to other soldiers because MPs working in a law enforcement capacity need to be creditable in court. I wouldn't trade my experience, even the combat experience, for anything though.
Thanks I have been looking at the military and have been going between MP or Infantry for the army.
@@lordvader624 MPs all the way 🔥🔥🔥Get ready for an adventure of a life time regardless which way you go
I was in USAF when it was called SECURITY POLICE way back in 76 - 80. We had hand me downs from Viet Nam If you were issued a side arm we had 38s when all the other services had 45s.
Now that it’s SECURITY FORCES they are so much better equipped and trained it’s night and day.
The entire reason I chose not to go AF back in the day was because they had split the LEO’s into two sections and you were not guaranteed which one you would be. Security Police & Security Forces. Police did the patrols primarily & forces were flight lines and combat units. This was circa ‘99-00. Post 9/11 my reserve unit was mobilized and I had joined the SRT. Since we had an airfield on base we traveled the 60miles to the nearby AF base to learn from them about retaking an aircraft. Even as wide open as a Herc or C-5 is, I never wanted to have to assault one of them during a hostage situation.
@@soonerfrac4611 in my day it was Security Police did the guarding the flight lines weapon systems. Missiles base defense stuff. Then L Es Law Enforcement did the basic base patrols and manned the gates. I chose Security Police. We did have a choice.
They were better trained. Congress has water downed the training so bad it is embarrassing now
You were in Security Police the same era my dad was. He was in from 1978-1990. 1978-1985, active duty, 1985-1990 reserves. He'll be 61 later this month.
@@chrismc410 where did he get stationed ? I was stationed on CRETE Greece 76 - 78 then Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque NM til 80. Only did 4 years.
USMC SRT here, actually that’s my team in the intro and I’m in the video. Really awesome job and served with the greatest people I’ve ever met. Really awesome to see my boys highlighted in a video too! Thank you!
I was going to be a MP in the Army Reserve, but I messed up and ended up as 42A. I should have just waited for a slot to pop up. HR is not a bad job, but it's boring as shit. If you want you a job in Army, just be patient. Don't let your recruiter or those stupid civilians at MEPs pressure you in signing into a job that you are uncertain about.
Hey Justin. Can you change later? Or they won't let you?
@@psalms27sneadspd46 In the reserves you can, but you have to find a unit that has that particular MOS. You have to talk to S1 NCO or retention NCO, but he or she will try to persaude you not to since your unit spent so much money on putting you through basic and AIT or something like that. However, on the active side, you can't. You have to wait until your contract is over. Me I am pretty grateful I signed a three year contract for the reserves, but I once am done I am going active and switching my MOS to either MP or infantry.
@@justinfrias1052 Oh ok. I gotcha. Best of luck to you.
@@justinfrias1052 When I was younger I wanted to go MP but I went into Civilian Law Enforcement instead.
@@justinfrias1052 hell no not infantry
Was an Army MP for 8 years. Some of the best years of my life.
thinking of joining how will I know I will like it?
Served 5 myself. Started at The USDB. Fun times lol I was a Bravo but they needed bodies.
@@jacobkubacki2719 I was a Bravo too, did very little Law Enforcement though, was more Combat Support side than anything. When did you go in? I was Alpha 787 for OSUT back in July-Nov 2002
@@randomlyposter1974 that's up to you to determine. Do your research on the job and evaluate your mentality and readiness for the Military.
@@randomlyposter1974 But, I highly recommend it if you are up to the task. It's a very rewarding career.
I served as an MP in the Marine Corps and U.S. Army for 12 years, with several combat deployments to Iraq. After getting out, I transitioned to civilian Law Enforcement, where I've been for the last 16 years. In my opinion, the Military Police MOS is one of the best to have in the military. I often joke that MP really stands for Multi-Purpose, due to all the various functions MP's perform. While in Iraq, my MP unit actually saw more combat than the infantry units due to our unique mission. That being said, the only reason we did was due to how modern warfare is conducted in an urban environment. Meaning, there are no phase lines or rear areas in said environment, the second you leave the wire, you are surrounded.
I highly recommend the MP MOS to anyone interested in joining the military. The Marine Corps will always be important to me, but the Army will offer more opportunities within the MP field. As a matter of fact, the only reason I got the MP MOS in the Marine Corps is because of my fathers advice, who was an Army MP for 25 years. The Marine recruiters tried to trick me to join "Security Forces" because "they are basically like MP's." My dad said to tell my recruiter the following: If you can't give me the MP MOS, then I'm sure the Army will be more than happy to take me. I was out of there in 2 weeks with a guaranteed MP MOS.
Thanks for you’re service.
Thank you so much for your service...I am going to join the Marines in a few years once i get my GED, and I plan to join the MIlitary police
While it's true that MP's rolled outside the wire in Iraq I seriously doubt you saw more combat than my infantry platoon. While I was with the 101st I ran over 100 air assault missions while attached to the 1st Cav and ran many missions with 5th group; we lost 8 guys in our platoon to IED's, we had a soldier shot in the neck, one shot in the arm, one paralyzed after getting shot in the back, and another got hit with a grenade; we were constantly in fire fights in and around Al-Hawija. The MP's around us conducted police actions while we were air assaulting, kicking in doors and hog-tying haj, doing sniper route clearance missions, and grabbing HVT's. Regardless, MP's are a good group of guys.
I remember being in combat with Army MP and Air Force Security Forces on multiple occasions during my deployments. I didn’t see it often but it does happen.
Other than MSR Patrol and doing cordons for SF raids most of what we do isn't explicitly to go find combat but more combat comes to us when it comes to us.
I started my career in the MP field as a 95B, the MOS was later changed to 31B. During this time I deployed to Hungary for duty on the US NATO base and ran convoy ops/route security, later went to Croatia and ran convoy ops. After 9/11 I was called to active duty to secure the governors command bunker in Georgia State, I was there with Georgia State Patrol SWAT. I was later activated for duty at Ft Benning to fill in for the 988th MP company normally doing LE work so they could deploy. I was again called up in 2003 to deploy to Iraq to help with Internment ops, convoy escorts, and base defense. 2009 I deployed back to Iraq for convoy escorts, mentoring Iraqi police officers, and training Iraqi Military Police. I was later deployed to GTMO for ops there. I did all of this as a MP with the National Guard.
I started as a 95C and it got changed to 31E
This video was a great honor for me to watch especially since I was once a US Air Force Security Police. Love those day of being in that career field. Serving the nation and protecting America. It enable me to become a US Department of Defense civilian police. Time to pass this information on as a share, sincerely thank you. From US American Air Force Security Police Military Veteran. GOD bless America.

Tech school is 13 weeks. BMT is 8 1/2 weeks. You also forgot about CRG, TRF, EST, K9, combat arms, and boat patrol.
Also the 820th BGD, the PAG (presidential air group), and snipers were missed as well. GD should've made separate episodes for each
CRG is the bee knees
Pretty sure this was meant as a general video, not an indepth one.... the amount of specialized roles an SF member can do are numerous, also EST is opened up to other people that qualify as well, not just SF. Also s/o to the 736/820/816
global strike mission is huge as well.
The one thing I want to add to Army MP, is a few career opportunities is SRT and PSD. I started as a 31B and was fortunate enough to get tasked to K9(before 31k was a thing) and as they transitioned to being their own MOS i was offered either an MOS shift to 31k or a shot at 31D and SRT. I chose 31D and SRT qualification. SRT are the Armies swat and work hand in hand with secret service, FBI, ATF, DEA and a few other federal agencies.
31D is a CID Special Agent. It requires submitting a packet and being accepted. Its open for anyone E4 and above in any MOS. SRT isn't a different MOS it is an ASI - Additional Skill Identifier similar to how MPI is. Anyone can go to SRT if they have a good PT and weapons score and there's an opening. The school is hard ad though. SRT did not work with any federal agencies. They were literally just the swat team for their post.
31D's do not go to SRT school. We went to hostage negotiation, psd (bc we do psd for secdef and a few other pentagon folks at the protective services battalion and its always our 2nd assignment after school)
In the USCG, you can do some of this without going to ME school. Since it's a small service, you get a chance to wear many hats. If you are deployed on a cutter, you can get an opportunity to get trained to be a boarding team member - even as an E-4. While I was afloat, we had tons of boarding operations that included safety checks of pleasure boats, to Homeland Security boardings of container ships. While not a tactical team, it still gives a great experience.
The editing on this was a chef’s kiss
I served in the Navy, Army and Air Force. The Navy has MA's and also "9545's" which is a general billet for 3 years to serve as military law enforcement. They do the same training as the MA' s minus the conducting a pee test portion of training. I graduated from Navy Law Enforcement Training in 1998 at Lackland Air Force Base. When I joined the Air Force I went back to Lackland Air Force Base for Security Forces Tech School receiving the AETC Commander's Award in 2010. What was interesting in 1998 when I entered the building I turned to the left for class and in 2010 I turned to the right. Great training and a great time at Lackland. Praise God.
Security Forces! They overlap so many other MP entities. That's what makes them pretty cool. The stuff I do in the Guard compliments my civilian law enforcement career too and vice versa. Especially out here in Texas.
I second this coming from MAs. If you are planning to go into reserves or national guard and be in the law enforcement on the civilian side, being military police compliments civilian side significantly. That goes with anything in the military in general. Before picking your MOS make sure you are planning on what you want to do after the military, and then pick your MOS accordingly. It could be medical field or supply. It will help your civilian career a lot.
@@W0rld_Toor I believe they're already in, but what you're saying is absolutely right.
From what I've been seeing lately looks like all Texas cops are a little bit crooked but then again most apartments are no matter where you are

Do one on Army Long Range Surveillance and Reconnaissance Units, also do one on Army Military Police SRT units
Army MP SRT units is a video I’m hoping for
The LRSD units are phased out of the army. Only recon unit left is Ranger Reconnaissance Battalion
Also, most Army SRTs aren’t a dedicated team anymore. It’s comprised of 31Bs that come from the line units and do SRT part time. It might change in the near future, the MP corps is going through a force restructure through the next 10 years. Focusing heavily on combat/maneuver support and rear area response force.
@@jasonbourne1119 see, this is why General Discharge should make a video about it, I wouldn’t have known this or known where to look if you didn’t say anything! Thanks!
@@Beowulf6790 I think this channel does a great job of providing the broad strokes, but I’d be very surprised (and impressed) if they had the sort of details I recently provided. But I only have the insight for the army lol
Appreciate you including the CG!
The US Army also has Special Reactions Teams (SRT). Also, MPs in the National Guard or Reserves (before we pulled out of Afghanistan) would commonly see more combat than Active Duty MPs.
The ARMY's SRT is no joke. The standard is really high, I was quite surprised.
@@em34ev3r hardest class I have been to.
Marines also have/had SRT units. As an active Marine I went to the Army MP School Fort McClellan back in the day. Good stuff.
@@tundraspecialopsyup they still do at ft Leonard wood. They have their own unit at the school house that gets trained by the Army instructors (but I think they have marines in charge of their actual unit)

Just wanted to say hello and let you know that I enjoy watching your videos and have even learned much from them. Keep up the outstanding job.
Ive bee waiting for something about the MPs
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say you were Air Force….
Too late bub, I was an MP in the Army for 8 years, then an Army civilian police officer for another 4. Son of an AF Titan II launch officer, and grandson of an Army Counter Intelligence officer that retired as an O-6. Have 4 cousins that are ring knockers from that place in NY, and a handful of uncles and another grandfather that were enlisted in the Guard or Navy reserve. My original enlistment date was unknowingly the Army birthday in 2,000. Been in and around law enforcement, corrections & even some federal agencies either myself or my family almost my entire life & I’m 40yrs old.
Great job on this one Gentlemen. Keep up the great work.
Should do one on army and USMC SRT. Both goto the same school and both get lots of training from the outside with special units.
Yeah SRT and all that would be a cool topic
Shhhhh, it’s an Army school and it’s ran almost exclusively by civilians.
Air force does it too
Do NOT BE AN MP
DO NAVY TIER 3 UNIT COASTAL RIVERINES!!!
That last clip with the ME and the submarine 😂
"Sir do you know why I pulled you over today?"
Great video. I was a Marine MP when the red arm band and gold lettering was used. Made the mos 5811 my entire enlistment, our training was Fort Gordon, Ga. Outstanding career field.
Current AD ME in the Coast Guard here. Just wanted to point out that if you’re assigned to a CGPD billet, you will be required to pass either the DACPA (Department of the Army Civilian Police Academy) in Ft. Leonard Wood, MO or an internal academy at FLETC in Glynco, GA, depending on your rank. Both are FLETA accredited. Great video. Very well researched. 👍
USMC SRT here, if given the opportunity to go this route, do so. It presents you with a lot of opportunities for your future if you want to stay in the same if not a similar job field.
I was the old 95B in Germany....had the largest on and off post patrol area in the entire military, working along side the German police. we were half garrison MP and half field MP meaning we were sometimes on patrol and sometimes knee deep in mud or snow as one heavily armed infantry unit. They used to call us combat MPs.
Your guys do a great job explaining what our military units do. Keep it up glad I subscribed. Semper Fi
Served in Security Police and later Security Forces for 21 years. This was a great overview. The only thing that I saw.missing was we also have Corrections, Investigations and EST(Emergency Service Teams, aka SWAT). I was NCOIC of Corrections later on in my career and at the beginning served on an EST team
You need to do a separate video on each, cause the security forces also has a swat team and counter snipers
Still dont need a separate video.
AF has way more specialized units then you can imagine. It’s why the navy and usmc get basic training at our program. A better suited program for them than army in relation to navel base duties. Lots of missing content on AF security forces missile forces, nuke convoys, guarding AF1 etc. AF very seldom does EPW work, Like army or USMC. Navy MA people fewer due to navy utilizing too much DOD police.

Navy MA people fewer due to navy utilizing too much DOD police.great point on CG having to wait years to do law enforcement. The AF made big mistake when they combined the LE and security professions. AF has slots to army ranger, air assault school, not to mention schools with non DOD LE agencies. They used to send many SF “SERT” type teams to many federal and state hosted SWAT team events and competitions.
Or maybe? The airforce has the most funding out of all the branches so they get better training? Idk either way your right.
@@krunglebung8993 most of that money goes to funding for aircraft and tools to keep the aircraft flying

Thanks for publishing this, i want to get into military police work when i join the military, this just makes it easier for me
Do the difference between Seabees and Red Horse. Or a video about every branch's engineers. Interested to see how different branches build and their roles.
Big difference in the Air Force security policemen, back during the Vietnam War, We had 2 AFSC. 81150 Base Defense, or 812 Law Enforcement. My 1st yr. I was a Minute Man Top side guard. I provided security on Minute Man Missile sites at Ellsworth AFB. SD . Next yr . Vietnam.
Thank you so much for your service sir, so you were in base defense not law enforcement?
Were you issued .38 Special revolvers as sidearms as well?

Sweet video!! Concise and informative!!
my MP training was at Ft Gordon, GA. in the 1970s. My favorite job was with the 988th Combat MP Co. at Ft Benning, GA. Worked many other LEO jobs but never as fun. I highly recommend a career as a US Army MP.
This old school 95B land shark handler thanks you 🇺🇸👍🏾
Graduated pre-9/11 as a 95B. Swore I’d never go back to FLW if I didn’t have to. 8 years later I went back as a civilian for what was basically the exact same course minus the field/combat portion.
Thank you for Posting this General Discharge ♥️
I was a corporal in the MP's for five years. Spesializing in narcotics dog handling in crime prevetion wing in the SADF. Loved it.
I was an Army MP in 1970, when the M.O.S. was 95B. Training was at Ft Gordon, GA where signal school was. The M.O.S. designation seems to be the least of the changes that have occurred in that job.
I was an Army 95B also, signed up when Desert Shield launched. Training was at Ft. McClellan, Alabama. Our Drill Sgt's were Rangers and and Special Forces, but the video didn't mention that. Wonder if that changed as well?

@@evancromee2727 I agree they are elite but I don’t think they are on par with any special operations units but they are definitely elite because they don’t have the extensive amount of training that other units have but they are definitely more elite them regular security forces
We’re not “Elite”, we’re just Security Forces Specialist with advanced training. DAGREs, Ravens, 820th, CRG, and TRF; all the special duties or specialized units within Security Forces, we have our own different roles that support the mission. Given the opportunity to serve in any of these outfits is a tremendous honor, and means that you strive to excel at your craft. The mission sets are cool, the training is even better, but the thing that really makes those assignments worthwhile are the high caliber of people you serve with.
Love everything you do guys I appreciate you for that 🤝🤝🤝🤝
What a great video! Ty!
Ayyy I didn’t think I would see this 💚
Great video! I was in the USAF Security Police in the mid 1980's on active duty in the law enforcement side and then later on joined a reserves USAF Security Police unit as a security specialist during Desert Storm. The Air Force police experience was how I got into civilian law enforcement later as a deputy sheriff then as a city police Sgt. The Air Force really opened some doors for me and was a great experience. We are definitely the USAF's ground combat force as the video says.
I always wondered were the sidearms being issued differ with the law enforcement side compared to the security specialist side, were security specialists issued .38 Special revolvers too like the law enforcement side or were you guys issued the 1911?
@@adamcuneo7189 The security specialists were usually armed with the M-16 rifle and no side arm on flight line duty whereas the LE troops were issued the S&W .38 cal. revolver model 15 combat masterpiece 4 in bbl and Remington 870 pump shotgun on patrol. Later on when the USAF transitioned to semi automatic sidearms we were issued the Beretta 9mm and the arming process was pretty much the same between the two sides of the Security Police field. It may be vastly different now that the career field rebranded as security forces. We were never issued the 1911.
@@kaylamarie8309 Thank you for the information, that's very interesting, I thought that the security troops would be issued a sidearm, but I guess they didn't want to add weight and instead have the troops be more mobile with only having a rifle, thank you so much for your service ma'am :)
@adamcuneo7189 you're very welcome. A 5.56 caliber select fire M-16 rifle is more than enough weapon for the security specialists job description, and not only that when you consider their duty belt carried two ammo pouches with three 30 round magazines in each on the front, radio, handcuff cases, flashlight etc there simply wasn't enough room for a handgun holster lol. I had both AFSC's , law enforcement and security specialist over the years and can tell you that from experience. The security specialist job entails protecting millions of dollars of USAF priority resources such as air craft and sometimes even nukes so you need battle rifles moreso than handguns. The LE troops were basically like your city police on base. Yeah, wearing all that gear can certainly be a challenge to ones mobility trying to get in and out of a police vehicle. It was a real honor to serve, my pleasure. Have a good morning, time for some shut eye.
@@kaylamarie8309 You have a very good morning too :)
I love how the information is presented, showing appreciation for each branch.
Thank you, GD
Hey you guys got it right! Most channels only think there are 4 branches. You did your homework! Bravo Zulu from an old washed up Coastie.
I was a Security Police back from 82-86 and one thing that gets me is back then we had two separate career fields. 81152 Law Enforcement and 81150 Security Specialist. The Security Specialist had to go on to the Air Base Ground Defense course. I went through the K9 School and earned a special designator for it. I also went through US Customs school provided by the US Army out of Germany and member of the SWAT team.
I went to ABGD at Camp Bullis before the moved to Fort Dix and then back to Bullis.

Deployed to Mosul, Iraq for a year in 06-07 as a 31B with the 89th MP Brigade. Our original mission was going to be prison security but that was changed when we were in Kuwait. We ended up working with the Iraqi Police and patrolling Mosul 6 days a week in HMMWVs, getting hit with IEDs at least once a week.
When I enlisted my recruiter didn't say anything about there being multiple types of MPs. I didn't know until I got to OSUT and some of the other recruits were 31E and on certain days they went off for different training than the rest of us 31Bs
Which company were you in in the 89th? I was in the 410th and deployed to baghdad in June 06. We were originally supposed to go to Ramadi but the insurgents blew up all the IP stations 3 days after we got there so they just sent us to baghdad 😂
I had the same experience as you with the echos. And they were all weirdos in my company d/795 June- Nov 05
Next time could you do a video about the various Special Reaction Teams? I've been waiting a lot for this video.
Another great video wish I had information like This when I joined
I want to ask if you could cover the marines that guard the US embassys
You talking about MSG?
He has talked about Embassy marines
@@dfhunters I didn't know that. Thank you for letting me know.
I signed the papers, I’m now on the road to becoming MA for the Navy! Thanks for the educational videos!
Have fun standing gate
@@sweatyvirg2862 I for sure will lol
@@BrettTheThreat how’s it going so far
Hey! Loved the video. Always helps me understand. I was wondering if you could do one on each branches k9 handlers and what’s they do. If you already made a video like that, sorry, I didn’t know.
I was an MA in the Reserves for 12 years and deployed 8x in 5 year period. I had more deployments than many AD personnel I ran into. Active Duty MAs never deployed because they're needed in the Fleet. My then Senior Chief left AD after 5 years and went to the Reserves and had 19 years in because you control your own career and can pick where you usually want to deploy to. He's deployed 7x as a reservist and loves it and said he'd never have had those same opportunities on AD like EST, going to UAE, Qatar, or Djibouti.
I was a "field MP" during my time in the Marines. Never guarded a base or patrolled in a car. Most of my enlistment was in Iraq or doing work ups to go to Iraq.
What did you do in iraq
@@selfmadetray5836 Convoy security, patrol MSRs and ASRs and the little towns around them for IED makers/planters. One of our platoons got detached to some 03s and did the house-to-house thing in Phantom Fury. That was 04-06 though in the beginning years of the war. Not sure what their mission statement is these days. I think they did away with garrison MPs too.
Air force usually guards bases
i did both liked field MP a lot better but PMO paid better so i mean 😂
@@broflo3875 thank you for your service brotha. Are you doing LE on the civilian side as well?
How many subs do we have to get you for you to re-upload the civilian Sam MRE video 😂
I love these videos man
PHENOMENAL VIDEO !!
Hey, can you guys do a video on Marine Security Guards? Would love to see it.
Your info on the USCG “mp” is inaccurate. Yes, ME’s serve as Police but they are considered as certified federal law enforcement officer compared to the DoD branches. The ME rating in in SoCarolina at the FLETC, the same as Boarding Officer School. The USCG does however have an actual police department that works very similar to traditional military police. There are only a few USCG Police areas, which are mostly in training centers in other bases in the US. The USCG Police also have MOU’s with local towns and their PD’s for emergency and general LE response and enforcement. Any rating can be a USCG Police officer, although an ME is desired, and it’s a short billet.
The DOD branches, at least AF and Army, are also classified as Federal Law Enforcement. It takes extra steps to qualify as such, but any SF or MP can do it.
@@Nick19837 DoD don't generally exercise their authority over civilian populations though. As Coast Guard, law enforcement is generally conducted to enforce federal and state laws, from boating safety, to fishing, to customs, and counter narcotics. While a DoD MP might be able to give a civilian a ticket on base, they aren't generally enforcing law outside the installation, or on persons with no connection to the military.
@@Guardian179 just like how a city police officer cant enforce laws outside of their jurisdiction... however SF and MPs being recognized as Federal LEOs allows us to conceal carry under LEOSA in all 50 states
@@fadsdrink Yes that is correct. MPs are covered under LEOSA.
So is CGPD different.? & is Me’s considered LEOs if do that mean they can carry off base , off duty
I spent 20 years in the Air Force as an SP, Security Police, before that, they were known as Air Police, APs. The SF designation came after I retired in 95. There are some different billets for SF/SP in the Air Force. At Joint Base Andrews, there were 43 SP's who flew with the Special Air Missions of the 89th. 5-6 of them were permanently assigned to the AF-1 crew and 4-5 more to the AF-2 crew. The rest flew SAM missions and augmented AF-1/2. Then you have what I think were called the Ravens, back then at least, the SPs who flew with the 747 platform that would have a mission of their own. Not sure how many SPs had that duty since they were based out of Offutt AFB at the time.
For security forces, you missed how complex and in depth the nuke field is and The opportunities it has, we also deploy a lot, and have SRT, K-9, Combat arms, investigations, all that, it’s suuuuper diverse
It’s crazy I just enlisted as Af Security Forces a week ago
lmao you’re gonna regret it everyday when you get to your first duty station
You should change your job bro. I did 4 years security forces and got out 2 years ago, let me tell you that you will hate your life. Most people ride the gates for years before doing anything else. But I regret choosing SF I wish I would have chosen something that would benefit me on the outside
Don’t listen to these two clowns. Been SF&CATM for 5 years. It’s been absolutely awesome
@@Texasmayne89 if you are still in, then you don't understand bro. It's all fun n games until the real world smacks you in the face. Most of the people I know that have gotten out are struggling to make it. Being a cop only translates to security guard or being a cop on the outside. I had good times while I was in, but I regret choosing to go SF cause it was a complete waste of time in regards to a career.
@@dillonwalker2420 I do understand, trust me. But to try and basically kills this kids dream and not encourage him is wrong
Army, Navy, and Air Force also have SRT with the Marine corps. We all go through the same SRT phase schools.
I have been a law enforcement patrol maybe 3 times since I joined security forces. Turkey had mostly security units and from there went to work in an armory. The career field is incredibly diverse. Ravens, dagre, CRG, TRF, SRT, K9, CATM, investigations (not osi), osi, etc
Great Video, Retired Navy MA1 here.
I was an MA in the navy. Spot on with everything said and I actually worked with the one women shown in the video MA2 Smiley (MA1 now). Only thing I wish you had added was the SRF alpha class but I get why you didn't since it is an additional school and ultimately just a qualification. Amazing video though!
She just transferred out of my command. Were you on CVN-70 as well?
@@jeffnguyen7563 indeed I was
The Marines have done away with the LEBs on active so no more field MPs. Reserves still have them but the MP mos is headed towards the direction of tanks.
Don’t know where you got half this information, 3rd LE battalion in oki is still stood up, and yes reservists can still go to 4th LE battalion, no where will you find MP’s headed to tanks. The marine corps has gone away with them.
@@khall7119 u new to english? he said mp is headed towards the “direction” of marine tanks. ie they are going away. he didnt say mp is becoming tanks
Tanks? The marines are doing away with tanks
@@theboothy91 That's what I said but that statement went over yours and the other guy's heads
@@TheDovahkiin05 that's not at all what you said I don't think you understand the English language
This video is awesome any chance you can do a video on the fire service throughout the branches. Thanks!
Hey General Discharge, for a future video, could you do Navy Air Rescue? I love this channel!!!
Can you do Air Force OSI??
Less go u did dagre Air Force 💯💯
Good video. I was a 95 Bravo, 95 Charlie. Rotated out in 84’. Be safe
I served at Fairchild AFB with the 92d Security Police Squadron. I served on the weapons security side of our career field. We secured B-52 bombers and KC-135 Tankers on 15 minute ground alert. We were trained to protect the base and restricted areas containing special weapons. Our primary weapon was the M-16A1 rifle and 38 revolvers as a side arm. We also carried the M-203 grenade launcher and the M-60 machine gun. We never had a successful penetration to any of our assets or restricted areas. We were tested every so often with written tests, practical exercises and oral questions for our specific assignment. We also assisted the Secret Service when the President came to our base. Each of us possessed a secret clearance as a part of our job.
Thank you so much for your service sir, so you were in the Security Specialist slot, not the Law Enforcement Specialist slot?
Y’all should do one on Texas Game Wardens next
Air Force security Forces also have SRT. And they work with Special Forces as K9 handlers.
I was 95 Bravo, Military Police a long time ago. Are you sure about the 20 weeks of training time today? When I went through, it was only 16. We did our basic and AIT in one location - at the time, Ft. McCullen, AL. They trained both Army and Marine MP's here. Which means we had both Army and Marine course instructors during the MP training phase. Marines of course did their basic first and then joined in 8 weeks MP training. When I went through Army MP school (95B at the time) it was 8 weeks basic, then 8 weeks MP school. Our 9th week was dedicated entirely to learning the Beretta 9MM and man-oh-man did we run through some GREAT shooting courses. Thanks for posting, love your guys videos! Straight info and no BS.
Army MPs now go to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri for a 20 week OSUT. 10 weeks basic and 10 weeks AIT. Also, we now get to utilize the M-17 (Sig Sauer P320 Full-size) and the MP Investigators and CID agents use the M-18. The Marines have they’re own school house for their training but utilize our Mock Village for Law Enforcement Exercises.
They basically increased the length of every OSUT. Like Infantry went from being 14 weeks long to 22 weeks long.
So glad you disguised your identities to disclose all this public domain information
Security forces have the opportunity to go Airborne, Air Assault, Jungle, Mountain, Ranger, Army Sniper, Unmanned aircraft, and a couple more.
Man I wish my countries military was so in depth. The US Military has a trillion different special forces of some sorts, here I can count them on my fingers, not much to choose from.
What country?
@@hemanths2230 Germany, within the Army branch we got basiclly 5 special forces type units, the navy has 2 and the airforce has 2 also. So pretty much 9 in total, altough really only 2 of the Army ones and 1 navy one have a environment close to the US ones, so in the end its only a choice between 3 forces and all those 3 are extremely elite, their standards probably exceed the green berets of the US as they‘re closer to the Seals with their training focussing on pretry much everything there is, so it is quite insane to try and last year 1 guy died in the selection process.
Lmao this is not Special Forces or anything remotely close.
@@saudakar9004 oh ok nice. Military Police isn't special forces though and you most likely have an option in each German branch. Talk to a recruiter or something you might get more details
@@hemanths2230 What? Never said that this is?
Good video. Please do a video about the CIVILIAN Federal Police Officers in DoD. There are a lot of us, covering all five military branches. Police Officers and Detectives are Civil Service job code of 0083, and Criminal Investigators (like CID and NCIS) are job codes 1811. FYI.
I was a 95B Army M.P. 52 years ago. It was great duty. One thing that was different back then is that the Marines did not have their own M.P. training facilities so they joined us at Fort Gordon Georgia where the M.P. academy was located.I as stationed in Germany. At the time the wall separating west from east Germany was still a big deal. Tensions were very high pretty much during my whole deployment.
Semper P!
Cia grs vs dss
Thank you for doing an MP vid! Could you do a Pennsylvania State Police/ PSP SERT video soon?
Because the size of the mount me hats won’t fit on the screen.
Amazing video! Do you mind making a video on the difference between MPs and agencies like NCIS/CID? Thank you!
The difference is like street officers and detectives. Some of the NCIS/CID/AFOSI investigators receive their training at Marine Base Quantico where agencies like the Secret Service, NBS, FBI, and DSS get training.
There’s also FLETC, where Border Patrol, ICE, Air Marshals, some military units and some local civilian law enforcement agencies get training too.
The U.S. government also trains “selected” foreign agencies at times.
General Discharge: So we’re going to be talking about what MPs do by every branch.
ARMY: 2ez! 🦾
MARINES: Fuk’in righ!!! 🤟
AIR FORCE: Uh huh… 🤓
NAVY: Really? 🤔
COAST GUARD: GUYS WE’RE ON TV? 🥴
sPaCe FoRcE: So yall didn’t want to mention the SPARTAN program? 🤨
*Halo Reference*
@THRE3 KINGZ, no its just O.D.S.T's for now, till biden and the democommies leave office they wont ever spend that much on Military needs.
Don’t do it. Police care about serving and protecting. These dudes pull up 10 squad cars deep for a speeding ticket cause they’ve got nothing better to do
True story. 🤣
@fucc all police
Given your user name I can just imagine how many times you were dropped as a child
@fucc all police stupid person who probably got arrested one time and is pissed at police because he was is the wrong at police officers are doing there job
@fucc all police You know nothing about the military either, two completely different beasts kiddo. Lol. Ask your mother if she drank while you were in the womb.
the only people who say what you said are infantrymen who grew up without a dad and married a stripper one year into contract lol
Amazing video and 🤘
THANK YOU! i was 95 Bravo 10, back in the day.....Ft Mc Clellan Alabama
ah yes, MP's the blue falcons who'll mess up a wild barracks party on a Friday night, who act like cops but really are equivalent to security guards when they get out.
Please keep making!!
Security Forces have there own sniper speciality code and training called Close Precision Engagement Course or now called Advance Designated Marksman Course at Fort Bliss TX. SEI Code “313” “Security Forces Sharpshooters”. Training includes counter sniper and police sniper tactics.
I started my Navy career as a MA reaching MA2 before going on to OCS and becoming a Officer
