372nd Military Police Battalion

Military police, medical personnel and engineers were among those called to active duty after the September 11th terrorist attacks. In the District of Columbia, Guardsmen of the 372nd Military Police Battalion were activated to assist with traffic control. Members of the 372nd Military Police Battalion were dispatched in small groups to help secure the city. The 372nd MPs were deployed at 5 PM on September 11th, and were under the direction of the Metro police - they were not on their own but are in support of Metro police only. All federal buildings were closed after the terrorist attack and, for much of the day, traffic was kept from crossing bridges into the city.
