Welcome to the eighth day of doctrine where we gift a Detention Slip. Mr. Dave Flynn from the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence addresses his work as a military police doctrine author. He works through the roles and functions of the military police on today’s battlefield, how detainee operations work in the maritime environment, and the role of investigations between military police and the Criminal Investigation Division.

Each fall, the doctrine community comes together for the Doctrine Developers Forum (DDF). At this year’s DDF, we invited doctrine authors to share what they are working on. We bring these conversations to you in the 12 Days of Doctrine
