Last week was full of momentum and milestones for the 549th MP CO! We proudly promoted SPC Rodriguez (3PLT) to SGT — a true go-getter whose impact and drive continue to elevate those around her. We also bid farewell to SSG George(3PLT) and SSG Pancholi (3PLT); both awarded the Army Commendation Medal for their outstanding service and dedication to the mission.

Good afternoon from San Diego, California

Recently the Tropic Enforcers had the pleasure of hosting the USAMPS Commandant Colonel Charles A. Green and the Regimental Command Sergeant Major William M. Shoaf.

As the team conducted Battlefield Circulation they presented the following Tropic Enforcers Coins of Excellence:

SPC Hutchins (1st PLT)
SPC McIntyre (2nd PLT)
CPL Thornton (3rd PLT)

These Tropic Enforcers showed USAMPS why the 549th MP Company is the STANDARD, by displaying a high level of knowledge and professionalism as they briefed their site and its capabilities.
