Using Jeep mirror, SP3 Harry W. Wise shaves after a night of guard duty. 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. 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.  In bivouacs, the MPs live in pup tents and shave out of their helmets.
