MILITARY POLICE . 19-15-1 Command Sergeant Major Richard A. Woodring Greetings to our great men and women of the Regiment! I am truly honored and humbled to serve as the 12th Regimental Command Sergeant Major of the Military Police Corps Regiment. As I have stated on countless previous oc- casions, I am not here because of my efforts; but rather, because of the combined efforts of the great men and women with whom I have had the privilege to serve. I am excited! I look forward to visiting as many locations as possible, and I want to listen to your stories and hear your thoughts. Our Regiment is outstanding, and the day-in and day-out pro- fessionalism and excellence of our military police Soldiers are evident around the world. As we get farther into 2015, the implementation of Department of Defense Instruc- tion (DODI) 5525.15, , offers a new opportunity for military police Soldiers. At the U.S. Army Military Police School (USAMPS), we are moving closer to the recognition and accreditation of military police as peace offcers every day. We continue to close the gap between our standards and those of civilian law enforcement agencies. This will make the transition from military police Soldier to civilian employment that much easier. We know that we cannot train every emerging task at USAMPS without removing other critical tasks from the program of instruction; however, as we work to meet DODI implementation requirements, we will continuously strive to feld the best military police Soldier possible in order to meet the duties and missions across our disciplines. In addition to new opportunities, we will also be facing tough challenges. As we have witnessed throughout the past couple of years, the Army is reshaping the force and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. We must continue to make the most of every opportunity to lead, train, and develop the forces in our formations right now! This will allow us to remain a valuable asset to our combatant commanders around the world. While military police enjoy an excellent reputation within the Army, no branch is protected from possible future force reductions. Therefore, we—as individual Soldiers and as large formations—must continue to support the Army to the highest possible standard. Our unique skill set and impressive performance will make any decision to reduce military police structure a tough one. I encourage you to showcase your units and achievements so that there is no mistaking the value that military police forces provide to our senior mission command- ers in garrison and tactical environments. Again, I am honored to serve in this great Regiment and I look forward to helping shape our force to support the future Army!
