INTRODUCTION
Political instability is world-wide.
This condition threatens the
ideology of democratic countries.
Individuals, as well as organized groups
seek to change government structures.
They do so by means of sabotage,
terrorism, and stealing.
They may also use espionage, subversive acts, and
civil wars.
Such threats form a web of insurgency; US military operations
are prime targets.

a. The Department of the Army (DA) represents a vital force in US
defense.
Therefore, safeguards for personnel and the post/facilities that
are mission essential or vulnerable to attack are vital.
Attacks and
kidnapping of US diplomats and military leaders over the world are examples.
These are the kinds of problems facing the MP Corps in the realm of physical
security.
b. Today, strategy for the professional MP focuses resources and
efforts toward preventing criminal acts.
These pose a real threat to
security.
