MP25 Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share #13 Posted November 11, 2018 Auxiliary Military Police hat badge. Auxiliary MPs were not actually Military Police, but civilian plant and facility guards placed under military control. The Navy had similar civilian guards under Dept. of the Navy control. They were called Coast Guard Police. Camp Barkeley (Texas) WWII Camp Hulen (Texas) WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP25 Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share #24 Posted November 15, 2018 Implementation Force ( IFOR ) was a NATO -led multinational peace enforcement force in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 20 December 1995 to 20 December 1996 under the codename Operation Joint Endeavour. These badges were issued by the United Nations to all Military Police units participating in the operation. The United States never authorized the badge for U.S. troops, so they just became nothing more than souvenirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
