Please join us in welcoming our newest officer, 2LT Tori Hoffman!

2LT Hoffman commissioned through the OCS program after previously serving with distinction as a Sergeant First Class. Her transition from senior NCO to commissioned officer brings with it a wealth of experience, perspective, and leadership that will greatly benefit our formation.

She brings a plethora of knowledge from her time serving in the AGR program as a Recruiter, and we are excited that she will continue to support the Recruiting mission in her new role as an officer. Her firsthand understanding of the enlistment process, Soldier concerns, and unit needs is invaluable.

Retention is an integral part of our formation because retaining quality Soldiers preserves experience, strengthens readiness, and ensures continuity within the unit. Leaders like 2LT Hoffman, who understand both the enlisted and officer sides of the force, play a critical role in mentoring Soldiers, building trust, and helping them see a future within the organization.

We are proud to have 2LT Hoffman on the team and look forward to the impact she will make as she continues to serve our Soldiers and the mission.

Welcome to the officer corps, 2LT Hoffman!

As the holiday season is upon us, the leadership of the 1139th MP Company would like to wish our Soldiers, families, and loved ones a happy and safe holiday season.

We recognize that this time of year holds different meaning across many faiths and traditions, and we extend our warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Winter Solstice, or simply enjoying time with family and friends.

Thank you to each and every Soldier for your commitment, professionalism, and hard work throughout the year. Your dedication in meeting the Commander’s intent—often while balancing family, civilian careers, and military obligations—has not gone unnoticed. The success of this unit is a direct reflection of your selfless service.

As we celebrate, we also pause to think of our fellow Servicemembers stationed abroad, away from home and loved ones. Know that you are not forgotten, and we are grateful for your continued sacrifice in defense of our nation.

The holidays can be a joyful time, but they can also be challenging. We encourage everyone to continue practicing mental health awareness, checking in on your battle buddies, and reaching out when you need support. Buddy checks save lives.

If you or someone you know is struggling, confidential help is always available through the 988 Veterans & Military Crisis Line — call or text 988, then press 1.

From our command team to your families: thank you for everything you do. Take care of one another, stay safe, and enjoy a well-earned holiday season.

🇺🇸🎄 1139th MP Company Holiday Family Day 🎄🇺🇸

It’s impossible to truly capture the amount of planning, coordination, and selfless effort that goes into pulling off a one-day event like this — but here goes!

Welcoming New Accession
Please join us in welcoming PFC Berghager and SPC Pingel to the 1139th MP Company. We’re excited to have you on the team!

Honorable Separation
To SGT Schoneboom — thank you for 12 years of hard work, dedication to the mission, and the compassion and kindness you shared across the Battalion. This unit will not be the same without you, and we wish you nothing but success in your next chapter.

Saddened Transfer
Today we presented SSG Albertson with an ARCOM and a few small tokens of our appreciation. She transformed the Supply Program from a once desolate cavern into a model program worthy of emulation across the state. You will be deeply missed.

We also bid farewell to 2LT Allee, who has been selected for the prestigious Aide-de-Camp position at State. Sir, though your time with us was brief, your leadership and wisdom left an indelible mark on the company.

Certificates of Appreciation
Certificates were presented to SPC Sabata, SPC Smalley, SPC Gordanier, SPC Perez, SGT Crowder, and SPC Powell for their outstanding efforts during this year’s Annual Training. Continue to strive for excellence!

Earned Stripes
Congratulations and farewell to newly promoted SGT Sheehan as he transitions to the 110th MEB. Well deserved — we wish you continued success!

OC Spray Training
To those who stared fire in the face and took it straight on the nose — we respect you, we feel your pain, and welcome to the Military Police Corps!

Vehicle Recovery to FLW
A special shout-out to the unsung heroes who volunteered to forego Family Day and make the long trip to Fort Leonard Wood to secure our vehicles, ensuring the unit is prepared for potential winter challenges. This is the definition of Selfless Service.

Most Importantly
Thank you to all the family members, friends, and loved ones who attended and continue to support this outstanding unit. Your support is what makes events like this possible.

And to Santa, thank you for making a special early trip to Kansas City to bring some holiday magic to the kids! 🎅

To everyone who helped with gifts, food, bounce houses, setup, and tear-down — we sincerely appreciate you.
