MILITARY POLICE . 19-14-2 Command Sergeant Major John F. McNeirney As our Army moves into an era of preparing to respond to the next unknown ct, we must continue to develop competent, agile, adaptive military police Soldiers who can contribute to mission success. Military police doctrine is constantly being updated to the role of our Regiment in supporting unifed land operations, and our training must be adapted to support the evolving doctrine. The U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS) is hard at work identifying the right mix of skills, knowledge, and attributes (SKAs) for military police Soldiers to best enable military police units to accomplish their missions. We are currently in the process of determining the technical and tactical competencies that enlisted military police personnel will need throughout their careers. Specifcally, what competencies are necessary for each grade? When should we provide training for the knowledge necessary to develop those competencies? And in which domain (operational, institutional, or self-development) should the training occur? USAMPS efforts are nested with the other Army leader development initiatives. The results of an NCO 2020 survey indicate that there are eight NCO SKA categories: ● Management. ● Leadership. ● Administrative. ● General military knowledge. ● Media communications. ● Tactical. ● Common tasks and technical skills and knowledge. ● Training. Several gap analyses have been conducted to determine which mission-essential SKAs are missing from each skill level. The information from these analyses will be used for the development of revised individual critical task lists, which will be compiled into electronic job books. These tools will assist unit commanders in tracking the training of Soldiers' technical skills and knowledge. USAMPS will use information gained from several task review panels to determine the specifc SKAs needed for military police Soldiers. We will then determine at what point in Soldiers' careers the training will best prepare them to accomplish assigned missions. The goal is to deliver the right balance of technical, tactical, and leadership training early in their careers to best prepare them for their current and next duty assignments. Through this process, we will develop highly competent, agile, adaptive military police Soldiers. As I travel to military police units across the Army, I see our military police leaders hard at work, training the best military police Soldiers our Army has ever known. Your daily sacrifces do not go unnoticed and are greatly appreciated. I am proud to serve with you as we continue to develop the men and women of our Regiment into highly capable military police Soldiers. Regimental Command Sergeant Major 3 "We are currently in the process of the technical and tactical that enlisted police personnel will need throughout their careers."
