The Military Provost Guard Service (MPGS) is responsible for maintaining physical security at British Armed Forces locations across Great Britain. It is one of three constituent units of the Adjutant General's Corps Provost Branch (the other two parts being the Royal Military Police and the Military Provost Staff). The Provost branch is the responsibility of the Provost Marshal who is a Brigadier from the Royal Military Police. In Northern Ireland, security at Ministry of Defence establishments is provided by the Northern Ireland Security Guard Service in a similar manner to that of the MPGS in Great Britain. The MPGS was formed in the wake of structural changes (Strategic Defence Review) of the Armed Forces and the increased threat of terrorism. The aim of the MPGS is to rationalise guarding arrangements at sites where service personnel normally live and work. The MPGS replaces previously civilian held duties with armed soldiers. The MPGS works alongside the civilian unarmed Ministry of Defence Guard Service (MGS). ==Operational role== The MPGS's duties include:〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.army.mod.uk/agc/provost/31527.aspx )〕 * Controlling entry and exit access to a site * Managing control room operations and ensuring all visitors are dealt with efficiently * Patrolling site perimeters and taking necessary action to preserve perimeter security * Security incident management, such as suspicious packages, bomb threats, protests, etc. * Military Working Dog services at some sites. To join the MPGS applicants must have served for at least three years on a previous engagement in any arm or service, including the Royal Naval Reserve, Royal Marines Reserve, Territorial Army, and Royal Auxiliary Air Force. They must have completed that service within six years of application to the MPGS, unless they have relevant service in the Police or HM Prison Service since leaving the armed forces. To join they have to re-enlist into the Regular British Army on a Military Local Service Engagement (MLSE). The MLSE is a form of engagement which is ideally suited to use by the MPGS. The MLSE is renewable on a three yearly basis providing the soldier continues to meet the requirements and standards of the service as well as their being a continued need for MPGS soldiers at that particular unit.〔 There are 26 Police Constabularies that currently have a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Military Provost Guard Service in respect of the legal authority for carrying firearms on UK roads. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Military Provost Guard Service」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
