Families Take Up Arms at 16th MP Brigade Event

Family members of Soldiers assigned to 503D Military Police Battalion, 16th MP Brigade, stationed at Fort Bragg, N. C. experience a day of airborne military police activities in an Order of the Airborne Crossed Pistols.

The Order of the Airborne Crossed Pistols is a military police tradition that dates back to 1923. It is similar to the cavalry's spur ride traditon. Family members gain a better understanding of what their Soldier experiences in daily training and duty performance.
