The Corps activated three such battalions last month. Each is made up of roughly 500 military police officers and dozens of dogs. The Marine Corps has had police battalions off and on since World War II but they were primarily focused on providing security, such as accompanying fuel convoys or guarding generals on visits to dangerous areas, said Maj. Jan Durham, commander of the 1st Law Enforcement Battalion at Camp Pendleton.
Great. Just what we don't need.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of when Bush & Rumsfeld came up with the plan to utilize smaller, more mobile units rather than large, heavy, Divisions. Was this prophesy? 911, Iraq, Afghanistan? Or had everything already been prearranged? Perhaps it was more than just a portent of things to come. Just like this is.
