Vietnam Veteran 89th MILITARY POLICE BRIGADE Epoxy Photo Belt Buckle and Black Bonded Leather Belt- NEW!

The 89th Military Police Brigade was originally activated as a "group", roughly the size of a modern regiment.[4] The 89th Military Police Group was constituted in the Regular Army on 19 February 1966[5] and activated on 15 March of that year in the Republic of Vietnam.[5] The mission of the 89th Military Police Group was to provide general military police support for the III Corps and IV Corps Tactical Zones.[1] The group stayed in Vietnam in support of the two corps' areas of operation. As the group was a supporting unit, it never saw front line combat. However, it did receive all 15 campaign streamers that could be earned for Vietnam service.[5] With the removal of US forces from Vietnam, the organization was inactivated on 21 December 1971.[5]

On 13 September 1972 the unit was activated at Fort Lewis, Washington.[5] The 89th Military Police Group was designed to command and control the operations of three to five military police battalions and other assigned or attached units.[4] Additionally, it provided a Provost Marshal staff section to the corps headquarters while assigned as their senior military police organization.[1]

The 89th Military Police Group remained at Fort Lewis until 21 February 1976 when the colors were transferred to Fort Hood, Texas. On 16 July 1981 the 89th Military Police Group was reorganized as the 89th Military Police Brigade.[1][5] 1973 & 1974 special members of the 89th PM Group were covertly assigned to Yakima base in Eastern Washington, for special assignments on CID Trafficking via the ASA/NSA center located under ground. PFC Scott Barnes was one member working under orders from MG Gard of Ft. Lewis and Captain Colbert of the MP unit to investigate narcotics trafficking.
