  Note. The considerations presented in the mission planning and capabilities tables primarily describe
  potential employment and capabilities of the described organization. These notional considerations do
  not relieve planners of the requirement to perform detailed mission analysis to support the identification
  and employment of the specific capabilities required to accomplish MEB missions.
  MILITARY POLICE
  2-28. Military police units are manned, equipped, and trained to operate across the range of military
  operations. Military police organize for purpose and provide technical capabilities that enhance the MEB
  ability to control terrain, protect populations, defeat enemy forces, and consolidate gains. Military police do
  this through the three military police disciplines of police operations, detention operations, and security and
  mobility support. Military police headquarters cannot generally conduct all three military police disciplines
  at the same level of priority; therefore, commanders must anticipate, prioritize, and synchronize the
  employment of military police assets.
  2-29. The military police disciplines are interdependent areas of expertise formed by military police technical
  capabilities and tactical tasks. Each discipline is focused on capabilities that support or are supported by the
  other disciplines. Military police operations are viewed through a policing or corrections lens that focuses
  efforts on civil order maintenance, threat mitigation, and personnel and asset protection. The execution of
  military police operations—and the manner in which they are conducted—are policing in nature. Policing is
  the application of control measures within an area of operation to maintain law and order, safety, and other
  matters affecting the general welfare of the population (FM 3-39). Military police operate in support of
  commanders to establish and maintain an orderly environment in which commanders and their forces can
  operate with minimal threat interference. This is true whether conducting operations at home or abroad.
  * Police operations is identified as the lead discipline for military police operations and a primary
  protection warfighting function task. It provides the foundation for military police technical and
  tactical operations and provides the policing lens through which all military police operations are
  viewed. Police operations, fused with police intelligence operations, encompass two major
  subordinate tasks: policing and law enforcement.
  * Detention operations is also a primary protection warfighting function task conducted by military
  police to shelter, sustain, guard, protect, and account for populations (detainees or U.S. military
  prisoners) as a result of military or civil conflict or to facilitate criminal prosecution. A U.S.
  military prisoner is a person sentenced to confinement or death during a court-martial and ordered
  into confinement by a competent authority, whether or not the convening authority has approved
  the sentence. (See FM 3-39). The Secretary of the Army is the DOD executive agent for detainee
  operations and for the long-term confinement of U.S. military prisoners.
  * Security and mobility support provides support to the movement and maneuver warfighting
  function and the protection warfighting function. The security and mobility support discipline
  focuses on the technical capability and tactical tasks that support—
   Mobility operations (with a focus on movement over maneuver).
   Security operations (with a focus on area and local security that includes the significant task
  of antiterrorism [AT] and physical security).
   Populace and resources control operations (with a focus on the control and security of
  dislocated civilians and infrastructure).
