One of the first military police battalions in the Army, the origins of the 716th date to 10 January 1942 when it was constituted in the Army of the United States and activated five days later on 15 January. For its service at Fort Wadsworth on Staten Island, New York, providing security for dignitaries and guarding prisoners of war, the battalion was awarded the first of nine Meritorious Unit Commendations (MUCs). After the war ended, the unit was assigned to Fort Dix, New Jersey, which would be its home for the next nineteen years. While there, the battalion served as President Harry S. Truman’s honor guard at the dedication of the United Nations building in New York City in 1949.
