The first nondivisional Army MP unit formed during the national crisis (before the attack on Pearl Harbor) was the 702d Battalion. This unit was activated on 5 January 1941 at Fort Brady just outside of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. Its primary duty was to provide security for the Sault Ste. Marie Canals.
Wow, didn't know that; right here in Michigan. YEAH!
