History of the 14th Military Police Brigade https://home.army.mil/wood/units-tenants/USAMPS/MPOrganizations/14th-military-police-brigade April 10, 2024 U.S. ARMY FORT LEONARD WOOD The brigade, composed of the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, the 385th Military Police Battalion in Kornwestheim, and the 793rd Military Police Battalion in Nurnberg, supported VII (US) Corps. It conducted rear combat operations, battlefield circulation control, prisoner of war operations and wartime law enforcement. The brigade also provided trained military police for peacetime force protection in the thirteen military communities of the VII (US) Corps. The brigade deployed with one battalion to Saudi Arabia in December 1990 in support of Operation Desert Shield while its remaining units provided security for the soldiers and families left in Germany. When Operation Desert Storm commenced in January 1991, the brigade commanded 21 units of active and reserve forces – 2,800 soldiers – until redeployed in May 1991. It was then inactivated at Kornwestheim, Germany on 17 March 1992 and reorganized at Mannheim, Germany on 18 March 1992 as the command and control headquarters for the 95th and 97th Military Police Battalions. Due to further reorganizing, the DOD determined there would be only one MP Brigade in Germany, to be stationed in Mannheim. In the fall of 1994 the 14th MP Brigade received word that it would be deactivated. The 18th MP Brigade was relocated to Mannheim, while the 14th was deactivated for five years, being reactivated in 1999. The 14th Military Police Brigade was later inactivated on 15 September 1994 at Mannheim, Germany. On 1 October 1999, as part of the move of the Military Police Corps Regiment from Fort McClellan, Alabama the brigade was reactivated at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri.May 2014 Lineage and honors HEADQUARTERS 14th MILITARY POLICE BRIGADE Constituted 24 June 1965 in the Regular Army as Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, 14th Military Police Group Activated 25 June 1965 in Germany Inactivated 20 June 1972 at Fort George G.
