Military Police OSUT Graduation

Graduation from Military Police OSUT at Fort Leonard Wood. All three MP OSUT battalions (795th, 787th, 701st) graduate here under the 14th Military Police Brigade.

Memorial Grove (Mahaffey Museum Complex, on-post) is home to the "Gateway to the Regiment," a bronze arch monument marking the entrance to the MP Corps regimental area. It is a landmark, not a scheduled ceremony or family event; visit it during the on-post pass window after graduation.

Venue

Venue assigned per company. Nutter Field House is the most common venue for MP OSUT graduations; Gammon Field (outdoor) and Baker Theater are also used.
