Fort Campbell, KY – American soldiers often conduct training that places them in unique and potentially uncomfortable situations, which prepare them for real life situations. Most soldiers, however, do not receive pepper spray attacks during the course of their duties.

For 43 military police officers assigned to the 716th Military Police Battalion, 101st Sustainment Brigade, being sprayed with Oleoresin Capsicum was just another part of training to help develop skills which could save their lives.

Fort Campbell, KY – Driving on Fort Campbell can seem rather simple to the soldiers and civilians who are on post every day.

To a military police officer responding to an emergency situation, ordinary intersections or a vehicle pulling out of a parking lot could become dangerous obstacles. Being prepared for these contingencies when conducting their duties and expecting the unexpected is one of several exercises the MPs train on during their Law Enforcement Training Seminar.
