Synopsis
From the Argonne Forest in 1918 to the freezing cold at the Battle of the Bulge in 1944; from the sweltering heat of the Vietnam jungles in 1968 to the roaring sounds of the C-141s for a combat jump into the country of Panama in 1989; under the blazing sun in Iraq and Afghanistan, the 82
nd Military Police Paratrooper has endured, adapted and overcome all obstacles and enemy forces he encountered. The 82
nd MP Paratrooper's uncanny ability to "Charlie Mike", Continue the Mission, while holding the highest of standards in the 82
nd Airborne Division is unmatched. The 82
nd Military Police Paratrooper was disliked by the Infantry, but requested by the Combat Commander; he was envied by other MP units and respected by his peers. But most of all, he was the best the MP Corps had to offer.
This is their story, their legacy, their life for the first time in written format with over 100 photos for all to read and enjoy. Not just any ol' MP Company, but the best MP Company in the United States Army.
