The Royal Australian Corps of Military Police (RACMP) is a corps within the Australian Army.[1] Previously known as the Australian Army Provost Corps, it was formed on 3 April 1916 as the ANZAC Provost Corps. It is responsible for battlefield traffic control, security duties, prisoner of war handling, the investigation of service offences, maintaining discipline and the running of military prisons. Its name was changed in 1918 and it was disbanded in 1920. The corps was reformed during World War II and was granted the "Royal" prefix in 1948, adopting its current name on 4 September 1974.[2] The then Duchess of Cornwall became the first Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police in November 2012. The Royal Australian Corps of Military Police have played a role in World War I, World War II and aided in conflicts since the finish of the second world war, including Afghanistan and the Timor Leste Crisis.[3][4][5][6][7] The Corps have embellishments such as the Governor General’s banner which they received in 2001.[5][6] As well as specific uniform requirements up to and including their standout scarlet beret.[8][9] The Military Police has a range of training pathways which leads to the many different specialised roles the members hold.[5][10][11]
