Some time ago I received an email pointing out a new MOS I was told. It may or may not be true but there are several recent factors that play into this and draw concern to many in the public. This became an issue when the positions were domestic, the UN position filled has since created a reaction force comprised of multiple nations and here again this position is domestic. Clarity would be awesome.

It's no longer internet resettlement specialist. I have been a 31E for about 6 years (reclass from regular MP). It is now called "Corrections and Detention". We work in confinement facilities such as Leavenworth, Regional Confinement Facilities, GTMO, and detainment facilities for EPWs in theater. There is nothing new about this.

Nothing but respect for those who volunteer to perform a difficult and dangerous task. Doing so in a military detention facility, it is compounded by the fact that the detained have military training so likely have hand to hand combat training.

SSG Warren Swan - the 95Cs never went away, we woke up one day in 2003 as 31Es with an actual wartime mission. Now that the wartime mission is winding down and most if not all detention facilities being handed over to host nations, we are returning to the everyday frontline duty inside military facilities.

My bad Senior Chief, I do not subscribe to conspiracy it is either written or made up. I was trying to ask a real question as you can see I was not in the Army and wanted some feedback. I am new here as well and like to learn as much has changed since my time. Peace.

As a prior 95B, with one of my very best friends being a 95C, I had to take a step back on this one! The name only feeds the conspiracy frenzy going around. I asked my friend and he laughed, said it was the same as the old 95C just a really crappy name/description.

So the 31E used to be a 31C. Or as we affectionately like to call them in the MP world, "Cage Kickers." They do several things. POW detaining, they run the stockade for US military personal, they may work in places like the Sudan in camps helping refugees find new places to live. Mostly it is working prisons of some sort. I know guys that love it and I know others that hate it.
Be very leery of any UN mission. They usually are a show of force and don't have much bite. It is a bureaucracy where life and death decisions are made in days, not minutes. If you ever have a mission brief where the contingency plan is to "Call the UN for a QRF". Read that as, "You' are own your own."
