I don’t wish to burst your paranoia bubble here guys, but I taught the 31B and 31E schools for many years. I am now retired. I can honestly say that
this is the same old school that has been taught for years. It simply has a new name. I can also tell you that there was never any evidence of our
blocks of instruction were geared towards American Citizens. It was either military law enforcement on a military base or EPW operations overseas. All
training scenarios were geared towards putting drunk soldiers in jail or processing captured EPW's. The terms INTERNMENT / RESETTLEMENT simply mean
to "put in jail" and "to let go".. or "relocate"... These are two things we did as MP's in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now before I start getting
pelted with abuse for being an MP associated with the abuses in Iraq... please understand that we NEVER-EVER taught or encouraged that crap. I was
sickened when I heard of those abuses. I always told my students one thing:
"It does not matter how bad or evil you think your prisoner is... It is your duty as an American to treat them with dignity and protect them from
harm. That is what makes us better than the enemy. That is what will always make America Strong."
Back on topic.. Although I believe something dreadful is on its way, I don't think our sons and daughters will ever have a part in the placing of
Americans in any type of camp here on our soil. Have some faith in your fellow Americans. The video you were watching was nothing more than the
National Guards MP recruitment program.
Let the stoning begin....
Greetings fellow MP!
Listen, I got out in 2005, and I never heard of this crap....now granted I was a V5, but was deployed as well, so our investigative team switched to
combat support, but still, I have never ever heard of a 31E. Also, I was stationed at one of the largest RCF's CONUS, so I know quite a few
Charlies.
So my question is, why change the name? Why the new identifier? Bravos and Charlies were already trained on these aspects. Come one, you know the 5
S's - Silence, Search, Segregate, Speed and Safeguard...but to me this looks alot more indepth, whether in garrison or in the field.
Also, why not in the RA? The fact that this is relegated to the ARNG is creppy.
