LOL... well, you seem to know about the subject, so I wanted to ask!

If you want to know anything about Carrier operations, i can provide alot of info...

MP

Read that as Multi Purpose more than Military Police.

Check point can be anything from a Team, to a Squad, to a Platoon, to two platoons.

Can be a Simple Traffic Control Checkpoint. One Team. Team Hummer is camouflaged off to the side when a convoy arrives one member covered by the other two gets onto the road and directs convoys onto the appropriate routes (Main Supply Route = MSR) .

to a full blown bypass on a two way MSR like a bridge that may need two platoons to direct traffic.

Carrier operations

Boats! *shudders*

Being that draconian would be very... counter-productive. If enlisted persons know that any infraction can end up with an execution done out of hand without some kind of due process and wonder what the hell they're fighting for...

Survival.

90% of the world is dead. Their home countries are in ruins. There won't be much left for most but pure survival. Many will fight for themselves, nothing else.

and could easily see the personnel committing mutinity if they see the officer in charge as a maritante who is just shooting people.

If allows the group to survive by removing those threatening the survival of the group, his men will see him as a hero.

During WW2 I have read of civilians asking the US Army to investgiate and help with providing justice for criminal offenses.

In 2000, this is entirely up to the whim of the local encounter as to how the local population is treated. Civilians won't get justice if it interferes with the needs of his unit.

Using WW2 as a model of the Inspector General and JAG Corps, the military justice system was very interesting. It's what gave me the idea for this little ecounter group.

Any Battalion Commander can organize a Courts Martial. Officers from the Battalion are selected as Prosecutor and Counsels.

Ok so it is the 90's right.

So lets see. How about my first unit as a green dumb Private out of AIT.

Arrived 26 Feb 1991 beginning Day 3 of Operation Desert Storm.

As a replacement I went through the mobilization process. My shit was sparkling, new car fresh. Even the M17 pro mask was new in the box. For weapons I got an M16A1 with M16A2 upper, a rebuild all freshly parked and the preservative was not the hellish fun of cosmoline. A minty fresh M1911A1.

7 mags and 3 mags.

The Team I was assigned to already had three persons. Hello 4th out of place person.

MPs are retarded in that in a complete opposite of the Infantry the MPs stick the lowest ranking in the turret behind the Gun.

Yeah so the least experienced is up top with the most situational experience.
