Copy. Nov 18/15 DUTIES OF ASSISTANT PROVOST MARSHALSAND MILITARY POLICE. - It does not appear to be clear to Commanders of Divisions and Brigades and their Staff Officers, that the Assistant Provest Marshal of a Division is the Commanding Officer of the 25 Military Mounted Police in an Infantry Division, (or the 50 in a Mounted Division) allowed by War Establishments. It must be distinctly understood that these Military Mounted Police are part of the Divisional Headquarters, and that the Assist- ant Provost Marshal of the Division is responsible for assigning ) to then their duties, and for causing any casualties amongst them to be reported to D.A.G., 3rd. Echelon, on the A.F.B.213 rendered by Camp Commandant, Divisional Headquarters, It rests with the Assistant Provost Marshal how many, or whether any, should be attached to a Brigade in a Division, subject of course to the orders he may receive through the A.A. & 9.M.G. from the General officer Commanding Division, or from the Assistant Provost Marshal of the Corps, who is generally responsible for the effective carrying out of Police duties amongst the Divisions con- posing the Corps. If the Assistant Provost Marshal decides to attach any Police to a Brigade, the General Officer Commanding Brigade is responsible for notifying to him any orsulties, but these police are only tenporarily attached and are in no sense part of the Establishment of the Brigade. In order to keep up the efficiency of the Military Police it is preferable to Keep the Military Police quartered together at Divisional Headquarters under the eye of the Assustant Provost Marshal, who can then detail then according to circumstances, 1f, however, a Brigade is at any distance, the Assistant Provost Marshal of the Division may detail a party of Military Police to be Quartered tenporarily with any Brigade, that may be stationed at an incomvenient distance, or for any period he may wish, as for instance during a march. when casualties occur amongst the Military Mounted police of a Division, soldiers to act as Military Police may be selected from units during the vacancy but such men are im no way part of the Corps of Military Police and they will revert to their nonnal duties when the vacancies are filled by reinforceents of regular Military Police. Similarly casualties amongst the Police of Corps Headguar- terswill be reported to D.A.G., 3rd Echelon on the A.F.B.213 render. ed by the Camp Commandant, and the vacancies may be filled by acting Police. These acting police, provided they are efficient, will be changed as seldom as possible. Casualties in the police causing vacancies will also be reported to the Provost Marshal, General Headguarters, throughn the Corps Assistant Provost Mars-hal, so that he can distribute reinforcenents as they arrive from England, The Regimental Polive of a unit are responsible for discipline within the unit, and are not under the Assistant Provost Marshaly but will carry out within their lines the general rules and regula- tions as to disciplinary measures which the General officer Command- ing may order through his staff or the Assistant Provost Marshal, and they are at all times to assist the Military Mounted Police when called upon to do so The MilitaryMounted Police, whilst supervising the discipline of the Division generally, are not responsible for discipline within an unit.
The Military Mounted Police or Military Foot Police wnether regular or acting, are solely for police duties and gre not to be en- ployed as Camp quartermaster Sergeants, or Storexeepers, orderlies, grooms, mess servants, etc., as has occasionally happened. Non-commissioned officers and men enployed as acting Police in vacancies in the War Establishment of Divisional Police, may draw acting Police Pay, and claims for such, shewing explanation of vacancy are to be forwarded to Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, for approval or otherwise. Promotion in the Military Police can only be made by the Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, to whom all recommendations should be sent. Except on the establishment of their units, no soldier acting as Military Police is to be given promotion, temporary or otherwise, with- out reference to the Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, and where an acting Policenan is given regimental pronotion, it will be reported to Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, so that he can decide as to the future police duties of the non-commissioned officer. The above applies generally to the Police forming part of the establishment of Headquarters of Bases, and of 1.G.C. The Assistant Provost Marshal, on the staff of the 1.G.C. 1s responsible to the Provost Martial, General Headquarters, for the control of Police matters on the Lines of Conmunication. Certain Advanced Bases are, for the time being, placed under the supervision of Provost Mxxtial Marshal, General Headquarters or of Corps Assistant Provost Marshals as to Police matters but this temperary arrangement does not affect the above general principle). The Divisional Military Police of Territorial Divisions drawn From Yeomanry RayixaEax Units, are supermimerary to the Establishments of their inits. Casualties amongst those Territorial Police will be filled either by selections from units in the Division, or from regular Military Police, according to the orders which may be issued by Provost Marshal, General Headquarters. Casualties anongst those Territorial Divisional Police are to be reported to D.A.G., 3rd. Echelon, through Camp Commandant and to Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, as shewm im 3 above. The Military Mounted Police ofna Mounted Brigade will, when the Brigade becones part of a Mounted or other Division, be under the orders, and at the disposel, of the Assistant Provost Marshal of the Division as shewn in paragraphs 1 to 6 above Attention is directed to Field Service Regulations, Part II, Sections 107 to 112.

DUTIES OF ASSISTANT PROVOST MARSHALS AND MILITARY POLICE.
1. It does not appear to be clear to Commanders of Divisions and
Brigades and their Staff Officers, that the Assistant Provost
Marshal of a Division is the Commanding Officer of the 25 Military
Mounted Police in an Infantry Division, (or the 50 in a Mounted
Division) allowed by War Establishments.
It must be distinctly understood that these Military Mounted
Police are part of the Divisional Headquarters, and that the Assistant 
Provost Marshal of the Division is responsible for assigning y
to them their duties, and for causing any casualties amongst them
to be reported to D.A.G., 3rd. Echelon, on the A.F.B.213 rendered
by Camp Commandant, Divisional Headquarters,
It rests with the Assistant Provost Marshal how many, or whether
any, should be attached to a Brigade in a Division, subject of
course to the orders he may receive through the A.A. & Q.M.G. from
the General officer Commanding Division, or from the Assistant
Provost Marshal of the Corps, who is generally responsible for the
effective carrying out of Police duties amongst the Divisions composing 
the Corps. If the Assistant Provost Marshal decides to
attach any Police to a Brigade, the General Officer Commanding
Brigade is responsible for notifying to him any casualties, but
these police are only temporarily attached and are in no sense part
of the Establishment of the Brigade.
In order to keep up the efficiency of the Military Police it is
preferable to keep the Military Police quartered together at
Divisional Headquarters under the eye of the Assistant Provost
Marshal, who can then detail them according to circumstances,
1f, however, a Brigade is at any distance, the Assistant Provost
Marshal of the Division may detail a party of Military Police to be
quartered temporarily with any Brigade, that may be stationed at an
inconvenient distance, or for any period he may wish, as for instance
during a march.
2. When casualties occur amongst the Military Mounted police of a
Division, soldiers to act as Military Police may be selected from
units during the vacancy but such men are in no way part of the
Corps of Military Police and they will revert to their normal duties
when the vacancies are filled by reinforcements of regular Military
Police. Similarly casualties amongst the Police of Corps Headquarters
will be reported to D.A.G., 3rd Echelon on the A.F.B.213 rendered
by the Camp Commandant, and the vacancies may be filled by acting
Police. These acting Police, provided they are efficient, will be
changed as seldom as possible.
Casualties in the Police causing vacancies will also be reported
to the Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, through the^|Corps
Assistant Provost Marshal, so that he can distribute reinforcements
as they arrive from England,
3. The Regimental Police of a unit are responsible for discipline
within the unit, and are not under the Assistant Provost Marshal,
but will carry out within their lines the general rules and regulations 
as to disciplinary measures which the General officer Commanding 
may order through his staff or the Assistant Provost Marshal,
and they are at all times to assist the Military Mounted Police
when called upon to do so
The Military^|Mounted Police, whilst supervising the discipline of
the Division generally, are not responsible for discipline within an
unit.

 

4. The Military Mounted Police or Military Foot Police whether
regular or acting, are solely for police duties and are not to be employed 
as Camp Quartermaster Sergeants, or Storekeepers, Orderlies,
grooms, mess servants, etc., as has occasionally happened.
5. Non-commissioned officers and men employed as acting Police in
vacancies in the War Establishment of Divisional Police, may draw
acting Police Pay, and claims for such, shewing explanation of vacancy,
are to be forwarded to Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, for
approval or otherwise.
6. Promotion in the Military Police can only be made by the Provost
Marshal, General Headquarters, to whom all recommendations should be
sent. Except on the establishment of their units, no soldier acting as
Military Police is to be given promotion, temporary or otherwise, without 
reference to the Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, and where an
acting Policeman is given regimental promotion, it will be reported to
Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, so that he can decide as to the
future police duties of the non-commissioned officer.
7. The above applies generally to the Police forming part of the
establishment of Headquarters of Bases, and of I.G.C. The Assistant
Provost Marshal, on the staff of the I.G.C. is responsible to the Provost
Martial, General Headquarters, for the control of Police matters on the
Lines of Conmunication.
(Certain Advanced Bases are, for the time being, placed under the
supervision of Provost Mxxtial Marshal, General Headquarters or of Corps
Assistant Provost Marshals as to Police matters but this temporary
arrangement does not affect the above general principle).
8. The Divisional Military Police of Territorial Divisions drawn
from Yeomanry RayixaEax Units, are supernumerary to the Establishments
of their units. Casualties amongst those Territorial Police will be
filled either by selections from units in the Division, or from regular
Military Police, according to the orders which may be issued by Provost
Marshal, General Headquarters. Casualties anongst those Territorial
Divisional Police are to be reported to D.A.G., 3rd. Echelon, through
Camp Commandant and to Provost Marshal, General Headquarters, as shewm
in 3 above. The Military Mounted Police of a Mounted Brigade will, when
the Brigade becomes part of a Mounted or other Division, be under the
orders, and at the disposal, of the Assistant Provost Marshal of the
Division as shewn in paragraphs 1 to 6 above.
9. Attention is directed to Field Service Regulations, Part II,
Sections 107 to 112.
