[66MP1]

Like 333MP said, a large majority of the MP's are in Iraq and this has left stateside bases without many MP's. That is one reason that this is happening. I talked to a friend of mine that is a retired Sgt. Major and lives near an Army base, and he said that almost all Law Enforcement duty there was done this way. The Army is also transferring people from other mos to the MP's to make up the shortfall.
