According to KSDK-TV, Army specialists from Fort Meade came into town for a training exercise for members of the 354 NP company. I always wanted to be an NP when I was a little kid.
There is no such unit listed at Ft Meade, MD, however there is a reserve unit listed from St Louis, MO that is the 354th MP Company.
I guess I'm just too used to armor going all over hell and creation in Germany. Tiny back roads, autobahns, wherever. Just can't get worked up over this.
The news report said that MP's were coming from Ft Meade to train the 354th MP company (St Louis based) on how to drive the vehicles on hwys and city streets. Also The Army MP training school is at Ft Leonard Wood, MO which is about 150 miles from St Louis. It would make sense for MP's to go to MO for training.
I'm sure that the MP's would prefer to go and train 354 NP's (just not how to drive).
