Where are the Army reserve MP units in Florida?

There are a few reserve MP units in FL. There are MP Battalions in Tallahassee (160th MP BN), Tampa (317th MP BN) and Ft. Myers (724th MP BN). I do not believe that the 160th and 724th have any companies because they are an I/R battalion. The 317th has 3 companies: 351st MP Co (Ocala, FL and Detachment in Jacksonville, FL) 810th MP Co (Tampa, FL and Detachments in Ft. Lauderdale and Ft. Myers) 320th MP Co (St Petersburg) There is also the 418th MP Co in Orlando, FL.


Why are US Army Military Police Companies numbered instead of having letters like A Co B Co?

To my knowledge, only infantry companies are lettered. Because there are more than 26 of them, or at least plans were made for them to have that many. Military Police companies aren't the only ones that are numbered instead of lettered. Here's the deal: In the Army, we have companies, battalions, brigades and divisions. A division is a group of brigades, a brigade is a group of battalions, a battalion is a group of companies (or batteries). Let's say you're a Signal soldier. You're in the 100th Signal Battalion, and you're also in Company B of that battalion. There's also a Company A, and probably a Company C and Company D. Okay so far? If you're an MP, you're in the only MP company in the division. You can't be Company A of the 10th MP Battalion because a battalion can't have only one line company. Therefore, they just name your unit the 10th MP Company. Some of the other kinds of units that are numbered instead of lettered include high-level aviation maintenance, pathfinder, chemical, artillery, and training. Until the Vietnam war era Military Police Companies in a Battalion were lettered, a BN would have an A, B,C etc co. like the 759th MP BN went all the way to D co. After the Vietnam war the Army began reallignment of the MP Corps by adding Brigades and realized there were too many MP Companies so they got rid of the lettered company and added the numerical companies that were already in existence. After the Vietnam era until the Mid-90's there was still an A co which was the Garrison MP CO of the BN, only working law enforcement. In the mid to late 90's they were switched to MP Detachments. Training Battalions still have companies with letters 701st has A - C, 787th, 795th, and 796th go to Golf Co

Can mp's wear a combat infantry badge serving in combat in Vietnam?

No. Unless he was later assigned to an INFANTRY unit and that unit (his unit) was directly involved with combat operations with a hostile enemy. "Only" during the Vietnam War could a GI with an artillery, armor, MP, engineer, etc. MOS obtain a CIB if he was assigned to a 11B (MOS) job in the US Infantry and engaged in combat with the enemy. A artilleryman, armor crewman (tank crewman), MP, etc. could be transfered to a grunt unit and end up in contact w/the enemy; WITHOUT his primary MOS being changed. Thus qualifying him to wear the CIB. The 11B (nicknamed 11Bullet Stopper in Vietnam) would or could be awarded as his secondary MOS. Regardless of the MOS change or not, if he was in a grunt outfit and he was in "enemy contact" with that outfit, he's awarded the CIB (on orders). After Vietnam the US Army took the MOS far more seriously and awarded it to only 11B men. But during the war men were needed everywhere all the time! Consequently the needs of the service came first and awards came after those needs were served. Another words after Vietnam "it took an act of congress" to pull a tanker off his machine and put him in another MOS, especially if he didn't like it. But during the war a man went where he was ordered...like it or not.
