      Reorganizacija Nacionalne garde zahvatila je dio jedinica. Neke jedinice su preimenovane ili deaktivirane. Nekima su podređene jedinice preraspoređene u druge komande.

      Several units have been affected by Army National Guard reorganizations. Some have been renamed or inactivated. Some have had subordinate units reallocated to other commands.

     

      Korpus vojne policije je uniformirana grana Vojske SAD-a za provođenje reda i zakona. Istrage provode Istražitelji vojne policije ili pripadnici Komande kriminalnih istražitelja Vojske Sjedinjenih Država (USACDIC), koji (obadvije organizacije) odgovarajau Komandi Vojne policije Provost Marshal General. Vojna policija se smatra službom unutar Oružanih snaga. Neke jedinice Vojne policije, obično u rangu divizije ili brigade, su označene kao borbene jedinice i na svojem području djelovanja između ostalih zadataka zaduženi su i za osiguranje transportnih puteva, kontrole prometa, istraživanje novih puteva, praćenje ili zatvaranje vojnika koji su se izgubili, odvojili od jedinice ili dezertirali.

     
 
     

      The Military Police Corps is the uniformed law enforcement branch of the United States Army. Investigations are conducted by Military Police Investigators or the United States Army  Criminal Investigation Command (USACIDC), both of which report to the Provost Marshal General. MPs are service members of the U.S.Army. Some U.S. MP units, usually at the division or brigade level, are designated as combat, division MPs whose combat zone responsibilities include protection of vehicle routes, defile control, route reconnaissance and straggler control, the guidance or detention of soldiers who have become lost, separated from their units, or have fled the battlefield.

      On a blue octagon 2 1/2 inches in diameter and within a 1/8 inch red border, the latitude and longitude lines of a global map terminating in arrowheads within the angles of the border all in white, and at center on a red disc a white five-pointed star. The central star and the lines of the latitude and longitude suggesting a globe, together with the arrowheads marking the points of a compass, symbolize the basic mission of the Command: to perform and exercise centralized command, authority, direction and control of Army criminal investigation activities worldwide. Blue, white and red are the national colors. The shoulder sleeve insignia was authorized for the US Army Criminal Investigation Command on 12 Nov 71.
 
      Zapovjedništvo Korpusa Vojne Policije je osnovano 26. 09. 1941. godine. Prije toga vremena, osim za vrijeme Građanskog rata i Prvog svjetskog rata, nije bilo redovito postavljenog zapovjednika ili redovite Vojne Policije, i ako se u spisima "Provost Marshal" može naći još od 1776. godine, a Provost corps (Vojna policija) početkom 1778. godine. 
      A Provost Marshal General's Office and Corps of Military Police was established on September 26, 1941. Prior to that time, except during the Civil War and World War I, there was no regularly appointed Provost Marshal General or regularly constituted Military Police Corps, although a "Provost Marshal" can be found as early as January 1776, and a Provost Corps as early as 1778.
 

SYMBOLISM   SIMBOLI VOJNE POLICIJE

 
      Zelena i zlatna su boje povezane uz Korpus Vojne Policije. Fasces je stari simbol autoriteta rimske uprave. Ključ predstavlja sigurnost, dok je mač simbol vojske. Ukrštene kubure simboliziraju misiju Korpusa Vojne Policije: provođenje zakona i održanje reda.
      Green and gold are the colors associated with the Military Police Corps. The fasces is an ancient symbol of authority related to a Roman magistrate. The balance is symbolic of equal justice under law and the key signifies security. The sword represents the military. The crossed pistols are the symbol of the Military Police Corps mission: to uphold the law and to keep order.
     
     
      Dva metalna, zlatna pištolja (kubure) visine 3/4 inča predstavljau simbol Vojne policije. Oznaka je službeno u upotrebi od 1922. Često se za ta dva stara pištolja misli da su Harper Ferry pištolji (proizvedeni u Harper Ferry arsenalu), a izabrani su za simbol jer su to prvi službeni američki vojni pištolji, a ostali su u službi priličan broj godina. Ti su pištolji predstavljali napredak u proizvodnji oružja jer su im dijelovi bili standardizirani i mogli su se prebacivati sa oružja na oružje.
      Two crossed gold color metal pistols 3/4 inch in height. The insignia was approved in 1922. The old type pistol sometimes referred to as the Harper's Ferry Pistol (made at the Harper's Ferry Arsenal), was selected since it is the first American Military pistol and remained the Army model for many years. The parts of this weapon were standardized and inter-changeable, thereby marking an advance in arms.
