U.S. Army Military Police Corps Regiment: I want to thank you for your dedication and resilience over the past year. It has been an honor to represent you as your 16th Regimental Command Sergeant Major, and I have been blessed with the finest teammates anyone could ask for. The Regiment has faced many challenges over the past 11 months, but this team of teams has repeatedly proven that no challenge is too great and no problem is too complex. Our officers, noncommissioned officers, enlisted Soldiers, and civilian partners are dynamic leaders, critical thinkers, and problem solvers; we will continue to be the force of choice for the Army of 2040 and beyond.
Transition is part of the U.S. Army journey—and this summer, we bid farewell to Brigadier General Sarah K. Albrycht as she takes on her new roles as Provost Marshal General and Commander, U.S. Army Corrections Command. Her presence and leadership will be missed. Additionally, we welcome Colonel Charles A. Green and his Family to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, as he assumes the role of the 53d Chief of the Military Police Corps Regiment and Commandant of the U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS).
This September, we will celebrate our 83d Military Police Corps Regiment anniversary during our traditional anniversary week, held at the home of the Regiment at Fort Leonard Wood. We will hold several events that honor our Regimental history and recognize those who have served and impacted our Regiment. Additionally, we are reenergizing the Military Police Competitive Challenge and bringing back team competition. We will challenge our teams more than ever this year by integrating our critical tasks in the areas of warfighting, police operations, and corrections. The week would not be complete without our traditional Regimental bass-fishing tournament, golf scramble, and ball. As always, anniversary week will be a world-class celebration and we look forward to seeing all of you there.
As the Army continues to transform to meet the demands of a dynamic and complex operating environment, the Regiment must keep pace. Restructuring and modernization will change the way we look and the way we fight. We may not resemble the Military Police Corps Regiment at the height of the Global War on Terrorism; but rest assured, we are still capable and positioned to support maneuver commanders with lethal and flexible formations across all operational environments. Combining new technology with our warfighting and policing skills will continue to make the Regiment the premier dual-purpose force.
