Korea Field Office (CID), 19th Military Police Battalion (CID)
The Korea Field Office (CID), an element of the 6th Military Police Group, was activated on 14 November 2008, concurrent with the inactivation of the 19th Military Police Battalion (CID). As part of the Korean peninsulas’ transformation, the Korea Field Office was established to lead all CID investigative operations. The activation of the Korea Field Office ensured that commanders would continue to have the same level of commitment, support and cooperation that they received while the 19th Military Police Battalion had been in Korea.

As of 2009, the 2 detachments assigned to the Korea Field Office (CID), the 20th and 21st Military Police Detachments, were dispersed to 3 locations each. The 20th Military Police Detachment had elements at Camp Carroll, Camp Henry, and Camp Humphreys. The 21st Military Police Detachment had elements at Camp Casey, Camp Red Cloud, and co-located with the Korea Field Office headquarters at Yongsan Garrison.

19th Military Police Battalion (CID)

The Commander, 19th Military Police (CID) has responsibility for collecting, evaluating, and disseminating to affected USFK staff and component commanders criminal and terrorist related criminal information within the provisions of applicable statutes and regulations. In cooperation with other U.S. Government and host nation agencies, investigating terrorist incidents on USFK installations and hostile acts directed against USFK personnel or facilities. Providing trained hostage negotiators to support the USFK force protection program. Providing personal security vulnerability assessments (PSVAs) for high risk personnel and their quarters/workplaces. Planning and coordinating personal protective services for designated personnel as directed. Conducting resident personal protection training for USFK personnel assigned to high risk billets. Ensuring the appropriate liaison between U.S. Government agencies, and the host nation police and security agencies.

In 1972 the 19th Military Police Battalion was formed as a headquarters for the Group’s Military Police companies; the 52nd Engineer Battalion joined the Group in July; and the 4th Military Intelligence Company and B Company, 75th Infantry (Ranger) joined the Group in August. The Group was redesignated as the 43d Corps Support Group in 1973 at Fort Carson.

Adequately supplying troops has been a major concern to the Army since the Civil War when supply contractors often short-changed the Union Army simply in the interest of turning a wartime profit. During the Civil War, for example, civilian suppliers often shipped half-filled containers of coffee to the soldier on the battlefield. The other half was filled with sand. Unfortunately, this type of fraud against the government is still as prevalent today as 130 years ago.

One of the main responsibilities of criminal investigation units today, such as the 316th Military Police Detachment (CID), is to detect and eliminate this kind of illegal activity. To accomplish this part of its mission, the 316th conducted a theaterwide logistics security assessment of Korea in 1995 with the assistance of the active duty CID agents from the 19th Military Police Battalion headquartered in Seoul, Korea.
