Before he became a decorated Army aviator, he was an eighteen-year-old Military Policeman thrown into the chaos of Fort Bragg during the turbulent years of the Vietnam War's withdrawal. In this powerful true story, Hal Harless recounts his transformation from a shy teenager into one of the thirty-three founding members of the U.S. Army's first Airborne Military Police Company. From surviving brutal MP School and the unforgiving streets of Fayetteville-better known to soldiers as Combat Alley-to enduring the punishing intensity of Airborne School and leaping from C-130s into the Carolina sky, Harless delivers a compelling and unfiltered look at the brotherhood, danger, and defining moments that shaped his early Army career. Delivering babies in taxis.
Breaking up bar fights with nothing but training and courage.
Facing armed suspects, unstable veterans, and the constant threat of violence.
And stepping into history as an original member of the 118th Airborne MP Company. Gritty, heartfelt, and filled with moments of both fear and triumph, Airborne MP: The First Three Years is a tribute to the soldiers who held the line when few understood what it meant to serve as a Military Policeman during one of the Army's most turbulent eras. This is the story of how a boy became a soldier-
and how that soldier became a man.
