MILITARY POLICE . 19-15-1 15 Mentorship and partnership activities have always been a CID priority. And since 2013, the 3d Military Police Group has diligently worked to revitalize and reemphasize the partnership with the 159th and 733d Military Police Bat- talions. The group reserve affairs coordinator and leaders at all levels worked together to ensure that all training events were held jointly. Regardless of the activity, RA battalions strove to par- ticipate in the monthly RC training periods to ensure open lines of communication, the exchange of information, and consistent rapport building. By sharing products, poli- cies, best practices, and training guidance, the RA and RC developed enduring respect for one another and expanded relationships beyond the scope of CID-specifc training events, building a network of interagency support. Reserve affairs coordinators also play a critical role in successfully selecting, coordinating, and integrating RC personnel into RA deployments. They address all predeployment and readiness issues and ensure that the RC is seamlessly integrated into the RA predeployment training cycle. The integration of RC personnel into RA elements that have been identifed for deployment is important because it reinforces the rationale behind the peacetime program and allows for the diversifcation of the skills and perspectives of the deploying elements. Although the reserve affairs c o o r d i n a t o r s s o l i c i t e d , screened, and prepared individual RC personnel for deployment, staffs from the 3d Military Police Group and the 10th and 502d Military Police Battalions successfully integrated the RC agents into the deploying units during the predeployment training. When fully integrated, RC agents hold key leadership billets and they support and uphold the same standards as their RA counterparts. The success of the integration and partnership is evident in theater, where components of origin have been forgotten. The partnership not only serves to advance the mis- sion and skill sets of the agents, but also advances the skills and abilities of the respective staffs.

This fgure illustrates current CID partnerships across the Military Police Corps; no offcial command relationships are depicted. The alignment is based on CID guidance—not an offcial order. All RA units are assigned to CID, and all RC units are assigned to the 200th Military Police Command. "By sharing products, policies, best practices, and training guidance, the RA and RC developed en- during respect for one another and expanded rela- tionships beyond the scope of CID-specifc training events, building a network of interagency support."
