The 7th Military Police Company, 1958
Group of MP's grabs a bite of chow, protected by camouflage netting, while on field assignment. The 7th Military Police Company (Prov.) - the Army's first pentomic MP company - was on a five-day field exercise with the 7th Infantry Division, pulling guard duty and local road patrols not in the regular 7th Inf. Div.'s area, but in the battle-scarred mountains of north-central South Korea, where field exercise Northwind was held. The MP units had moved out ahead of troop columns to control traffic on the overloaded road network, living in pup tents and eating their meals out in the open. Under the pentomic concept, platoons are dispatched for duty with the battle groups: same duties, but in now in the rugged terrain of combat training.
