and Colonel Robert A. Davel (Retired)
This article presents Formation-Based Layered Protection (FBLP) as a transformative approach to battlefield protection that embeds comprehensive defensive capabilities directly into Army formations from division to individual Soldier level, with Military Police serving as the critical integrators of this layered defense. Lieutenant Colonels Evans and Perrizo, along with Colonel Davel, argue that to counter adversaries capable of temporal dislocation through massed unmanned systems and rapid battlefield repositioning, the Military Police Corps must evolve through human-machine integration, organizational restructuring, doctrinal adaptation, and optimized detention operations—transforming from traditional rear-area security forces into agile, technology-enabled protection units that sense threats, make automated decisions, and deliver kinetic and non-kinetic effects to preserve combat power and enable operational tempo across the expanded battlespace.
