    An MP is an MP is an MP. Sometimes you do garrison policing, sometime you're in the field.

    If you're assigned to a base Provost Marshal's Office, you'll probably do mostly garrison policing. If you're assigned to a division MP battalion, or some other fleet MP unit, you'll mostly do field work.

    Note that the Marine Corps, like the other services, is turning a lot of garrison policing over to a civilian police force made up of retired or veteran Marines. So garrison MP work is being reduced.
