MILITARY POLICE 16 enforcement offcials to help control and legitimize themselves and their actions with regard to the local populations. Mr. David Friedman, regional director for the Anti- Defamation League, and Major Charcillea Schaefer of the Plans and Policy Division, OPMG, indicated that strong Army Values are some of the main factors that guide Sol- diers in making the right decisions in their professional lives. This belief was echoed by many in attendance, includ- ing Mr. Tracy Williams III, Chief of Staff, OPMG, who stat- ed that the Army continually trains its Soldiers—especially its military police professionals—to make decisions based on the Army Values. Participation in sessions like this one better prepare law enforcement offcers by expanding their knowledge of the past, improving their skills and abilities in the present, and promoting professionalism for their future.

Further improvements to the process will allow a small section of analysts (potentially from the G-2 offce, the military police brigade intelligence cell, and CID) to support the corps PMO with actionable intelligence. A clear picture of the criminal and insurgent networks, early assessment of local security forces, and close coordi- nation with engagement warfghting assets and other gov- ernment organizations is fused with tactical intelligence to enable the CJFLCC commander to combine efforts early to defeat a determined and complex hybrid threat to provide security and rule of law (Objective 2.2, Military Police Force Strategy 2020). 3 In a linear battle, coalition forces may be conducting decisive offensive operations at the front, while in the division and corps support areas, forces conduct sta- bility (Phase IV) operations. Simultaneous, rather than sequential, support to unifed land operations will prevent strategic problems that plagued previous U.S. operations. The III Corps planners are incorporating lessons from WFX 15-03 into plans for the next series of WFXs. Work will continue on the development and refnement of the CSCP. For future exercises, a second military police brigade will be added, separating lines of effort—with one brigade focusing on detention operations and the other on security and mo- bility support and policing operations. Finally, the III Corps PMO and 89th Military Police Brigade will focus on refn- ing the processes, personnel, and products to integrate a CRIMINT analysis capability across the corps. As a result, III Corps is prepared to operate as an adaptive and versatile headquarters, capable of providing military police support to defeat regular, irregular, and criminal enterprises in sup- port of decisive action within unifed land operations.
