The militia has always been the nucleus of the Canadian Army.
The Canadian Reserve Military Police have undergone extensive change over the last three years. The Military Police (MP) platoons that used to be housed with the Service Battalions have now departed and formed Military Police Companies (MP COY) throughout Canada. Currently, only the MP PL's in Quebec have not been formed into a Company.
The first MP COY to be formed was 30 Military Police Company located in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia. This Company has stood-up a platoon in Moncton, New Brunswick.
Land Force Western Area formed 15 Military Police Company in 2002. The Company consists of three platoons, one detachment and a headquarters. The actual breakdown consists of the following units: 12 MP PL (Vancouver with a detachment in Victoria), 13 MP PL (Winnipeg), 14 MP PL (Calgary) and HQ located at CFB Edmonton.
Land Force Central Area formed 2 Military Police Company in the fall of 2003. The Company consists of three platoons: 31 MP PL (London), 32 MP PL (Toronto) and 33 MP PL (Ottawa).
Formations: 15 MP COY - LFWA 2 MP COY - LFCA 51 & 55 PPM - LFQA 30 MP COY - LFAA
This information is to be confirmed but it would appear that LFQA MP platoons new Company will be designated 4 MP COY. I do not have enough space on this free geocities site to include 4 MP COY currently. |
