The troops are equipped like Military Police. There are no unit patches visible (left shoulder needed) so can't ID the unit which would tell if troops are regular army or NGs. I doubt these are reqular Army as the Army command is as touchy as most here at FR about breaching Posse Commitatus.

Plus, IIRC, a very large percentage of the MP units in our force are NG and Reserve units, because the part-time aspect allows them to draw on people who are cops in their civilian lives. The one guy our local MP unit lost in Iraq was a civilian cop nd firefighter as well as a Guardsman.
