U.S. Army Activates Two New Military Police Units at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas

The Army is adding two new police units to its forces. Will these units be used for mass vaccinations, forced quarantines and civilian detentions in case of a mass H1N1 "swine" flu outbreak. Has the Army released the mission statement and objectives for these new units?

The 40th Military Police Battalion and the 165th Military Police Company will have a total of 274 soldiers.

The additions at Fort Leavenworth are part of several new units announced by the Army, including additional soldiers at Fort Bragg, N.C., Fort Carson, Colo., and Fort Campbell, Ky.
