The Need to Integrate Cross-Cultural Competencies and Ethical Considerations Into Military Police Training

摘要

U.S. Army military police respond to a myriad of situations and potential conflicts in wartime and peacetime and during stability operations and support operations. Because military police units doctrinally operate over an extensive area, decentralized decisionmaking is routine. This enables military police to provide the most effective and flexible support. Generally located away from company headquarters, platoon leaders operate under indirect supervision. This differs from leaders of other military units, whose companies are located in close proximity to the next higher headquarters.
