31B Military Police OSUT Graduation Guide
20 weeks · Two family ceremonies · Fort Leonard Wood, MO
The two-trip decision
Military Police OSUT has two distinct family-attended ceremonies. Many families travel for both; others attend only the final graduation. Here’s what each trip looks like.
Forge Ceremony (MP OSUT)
Venue: TBD — Fort Leonard Wood (verify venue from PAO)
Intermediate ceremony marking the BCT-to-AIT transition for Military Police OSUT at Fort Leonard Wood. 🚧 TBD — confirm from FLW PAO whether this is a family-attended event, official name, timing, and venue.
Military Police OSUT Graduation
Venue: TBD — Fort Leonard Wood (verify venue from PAO)
Graduation from Military Police OSUT at Fort Leonard Wood. MPs receive their MOS designation and the Crossed Pistols — the Military Police branch insignia — at the ceremony, then typically ship to their first duty station within days. Crossed Pistols is the canonical MP graduation moment; confirm with your Soldier's unit whether the brigade also holds a separate company-level recognition formation in addition to the post-wide graduation. 🚧 TBD — verify ceremony name, venue, family logistics, and deployment timeline from FLW PAO and MP School.
