Colonel Charles A. Green

My Family and I look forward to serving the U.S. Army in my new position as the 53d Commandant of the U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS) and the Chief of the Military Police Corps Regiment. We fondly remember my previous assignments at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, as an executive officer with the 795th Military Police Battalion and a platoon leader/executive officer with the 463d Military Police Company. We met many great leaders; and, early on, we learned about the importance of USAMPS and the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence to the generating force and about the essential and eternal bond between the installation and surrounding communities. My wife Jenny and I thank Brigadier General Sarah K. Albrycht and her husband Rob for their incredible support and assistance in our transition from Hawaii to Fort Leonard Wood this summer.

Brigadier General Albrycht has been incredibly steady and focused on driving change for our Regiment as the Army adapts and transforms in contact. I look forward to building on the solid foundation that she has set to transform, innovate, and adapt the Regiment to meet the challenges our Army will face in 2030 and beyond. I wish the entire Albrycht Family the best of luck as they transition to Washington, D.C., and I look forward to working closely with Brigadier General Albrycht as she becomes the 20th U.S. Army Provost Marshal General.

In completing my service as Watchdog 6 for one of the first units to inactivate subordinate units as a result of Army structure decisions, I know first-hand that we face significant change and transformation, which impacts our Soldiers and Families today. Change is always difficult and requires us to overcommunicate in order to keep our teams informed.

But, what cannot change is the unwavering support of the Military Police Corps Regiment for protecting and preserving readiness as we transform in daily contact on our installations and throughout the world. We must remain steadfast and lead through change by focusing only on those tasks that military police can carry out for our Army; continuing to build the team across all components; and continuing to demonstrate the incredible value, service, and sacrifice that military police have provided to our Army and our Nation, from the days of the Continental Army to the present day.

Thanks for what each of you is doing to communicate, inform, and assist USAMPS with professional bulletin article submission, solarium participation, and incorporation of lessons learned from training exercises. Please keep communications flat, and feel free to reach out to me at any time. I recognize that driving change will require that all of us work together. Your feedback and perspectives are critical in helping shape understanding as we adapt.

I look forward to working with the incredible professionals at USAMPS and the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence and to serving our Regiment, Families, and community. And, I want to thank our Families for their daily sacrifices for their Soldiers and their ironclad support of the Regiment.
