The 200th Military Police Command is the senior law enforcement unit within the U.S. Army Reserve. The subordinate elements of the 200th MP Command are primarily military police units, but the command also includes criminal investigation detachments, chaplains, historians, and public affairs detachments. Units are dispersed across the continental United States with major subordinate units located in California, Michigan, New York, Tennessee, and Indiana. The formation of this command is a departure from the legacy structure of a strategic force in the Army Reserve with assigned chains of command based mostly on geography. The purpose of this command is to train, command, and deploy units primarily by their functional capabilities.{{Cite web |url=http://www.usar.army.mil/ourstory/commands/200MP/Pages/default.aspx |title=Homepage |access-date=2012-11-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121016204235/http://www.usar.army.mil/ourstory/commands/200MP/Pages/default.aspx |archive-date=2012-10-16 |url-status=dead }}
History
The 200th Military Police Command was constituted March 6, 2006 (from the former 220th MP Brigade) in the United States Army Reserve as the Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 200th Military Police Command. It was activated April 16, 2008 at Fort Meade, Maryland.{{cite web|url = http://www.history.army.mil/html/forcestruc/lineages/branches/mp/0200mpcmd.htm|archive-url = https://archive.today/20121212032717/http://www.history.army.mil/html/forcestruc/lineages/branches/mp/0200mpcmd.htm|url-status = dead|archive-date = December 12, 2012|title = 200th Military Police Command Lineage and Honors| publisher= United States Army Center of Military History}}
The 200th was formed as part of a transformation of the Army Reserve that reorganized units into strategically consolidated forces with similar functional capabilities. Nearly 97% of all Army Reserve military police assets are now commanded by the 200th.{{Cite web |url=http://www.usar.army.mil/arweb/organization/commandstructure/USARC/OPS/200MP/History/Pages/default.aspx |title="Of the Troops, for the Troops" |access-date=2009-10-06 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100527014211/http://www.usar.army.mil/arweb/organization/commandstructure/USARC/OPS/200MP/History/Pages/default.aspx |archive-date=2010-05-27 |url-status=dead }}
