Figure 1-3. Military Police Company (Heavy Division).
The MP company commander directs the employment of the company. Through his company
headquarters he provides administrative, maintenance, and logistical support to the company.
Personnel administration and mess support are provided by the division support command.
The company headquarters consists mainly of a headquarters section, maintenance section, supply
section, and a tactical communications section. These sections support the PM operations section and
the company's platoons. The company headquarters also has a squad assigned to it to provide
security for the all source production section (ASPS). This squad normally deploys with the platoon
providing security for the main CP.
Each MP platoon has a platoon headquarters and two 9-man squads. Each squad is organized into
three 3-man teams. Similarity of organization allows HP teams to be used interchangeably to perform
operations. Any team in a platoon can do any team-level operation which the company commander
assigns.
