Military Police Survivability in LSCO:
Rebuilding the Military Police Corps for the Modern Battlefield
By Captain Nicholas Maule
The days of operating in "safe" rear areas are over. As the U.S. Army shifts to Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO), the legacy habits of counterinsurgency—high visibility, static command posts, and purely mounted operations—have turned the Military Police Corps into an easy target for peer adversaries armed with advanced drones and precision artillery. To survive and remain a decisive asset on the modern, high-threat battlefield, the Corps must urgently undergo a cultural and tactical transformation, rebuilding itself from the ground up with a fierce focus on fieldcraft, signature management, and dismounted tactics.

Protecting Army Power Projection:
Integrating sUAS into Police Operations
By Major Kievell Ruffin
U.S. Army power projection begins in the strategic-support area (home-station installations), making them primary targets for adversarial disruption. Integrating commercial, budget-friendly small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) into military police law enforcement activity (LEA) units—specifically within physical security and patrol branches—provides installation commanders with an immediate, low-cost force multiplier to observe, detect, and neutralize threats with greater speed and precision while maintaining strict constitutional and regulatory compliance.

Training Management: Standardizing the Military Police Training Strategy
By Major Noel Whitten
The Military Police (MP) Corps currently lacks a standardized, published training strategy, leading to inconsistent unit readiness, vague Annual Training Guidance (ATG), and a widespread misunderstanding of collective live-fire requirements. To bridge this gap, the MP Corps must publish a dedicated Training Circular (TC)—modeled after TC 3-20.11—to establish definitive proficiency gates, standardize weapons training, and operationalize readiness assessments.
