This web site seeks to record the history of the Australian Army Military Police Corps from 1901 through to Today by using a combination of personal research, information from other publications on Australian Military Police history and where possible Australian MP veteran stories.

Since 1914, over 240 Australian Military Policemen have been killed on active service; a relatively high fatality rate for a Corps so small, reflecting the danger of Military Police duties on operations.

As well as serving in both World Wars, the Australian Military Police have supported Australian Soldiers on operations with the British Commonwealth Occupation Force in Japan from 1946 to 1957; Korea with the 1st Commonwealth Division from 1950 to 1957; Malaya, Borneo & Singapore from 1955 to 1970s; and Vietnam from 1965 to 1972.

Since 1973 the Australian Military Police have supported all of the Australian Army’s deployments, operations and missions throughout Australia and the world providing policing and investigation support to commanders and soldiers at all levels.

With ongoing support to the Australian Army, UN Operations and Defence of Australia duties, the Australian Military Police are serving Australia and the Army proud. The motto of the Australian Military Police Corps says it all:
