18th Military Police Brigade - Law Enforcement Excellence
The 18th Military Police Brigade is a military police brigade of the United States Army based in Grafenwoehr, Germany, with subordinate battalions and companies stationed throughout Germany. It provides law enforcement and force protection duties to United States Army Europe.
Activated during the Vietnam War, the Brigade oversaw all Military Police operations in the country for a large portion of the conflict, undertaking a wide variety of missions throughout the country and providing command and control for other military police groups in the region. After Vietnam, the Brigade deployed units to several other operations, namely Operation Desert Storm and Operation Provide Comfort. The brigade itself also deployed to Kosovo, supporting many of the units operating there attempting to settle unrest in the area due to the 1999 Bosnian War.
The brigade has also seen multiple deployments in the Global War on Terrorism to the Iraq War. Its primary responsibilities have been to train and equip the national Iraqi Police forces.
Ever Vigilant - Military Police Mission
The 18th Military Police Brigade embodies the motto "Ever Vigilant," representing the constant readiness and watchfulness required of military police soldiers. Military police provide law enforcement, force protection, detention operations, and police intelligence support to Army commanders and units throughout Europe.
MP soldiers conduct law enforcement patrols, investigate crimes, provide security for installations and convoys, conduct detention operations, and train host nation police forces. They must be proficient in law enforcement techniques, use of force, criminal investigation, and military operations. Military police are often the first responders to incidents and must be ready to handle any situation.
