The ISF enforces the laws and dispenses punishment and retribution to evil wihout mercy. Their role is a grim reminder of the ultimate punishment for lawlessness. They will go wherever they are needed.
MPs are under jurisdiction of the Chiefs of Staff and the Intelligence Battalions. All investigations and inquiries must be issued with a warrant and just cause for investigation.

A force for justice...Task Force Crusader is the 11th Marine Division's answer to insubordination and injustice in the internal and external structure of the Division. Regardless of the oath's we take, there are some individuals who don't adhere to the responsibilities a service member bears for his country. They use the Military as a means of doing something horrible or unjust. The Interim Security Force is the 11th's answer. Essentially a Military Police, anti-narcotic, and counter-terrorism task force, the ISF is responsible for maintaining order and civility of the 11th Marine Division and the factions of the Iron Legion, and investigating incidents and other factions. They are also responsible for launching inquiries amongst the factions if an issue arises that threatens the relations between the 11th Marines and its allies.
Being in Task Force Crusader is a very big task. Military Police have never had it easy, with a rise in crime stemming from the military sector due to wartime and trauma induced by wartime. So it is an officers' sole duty to uphold the peace, justice, and above all, not let personal biases intefere with due process. So in order to qualify for ISF/MP, you must be in good standing within your regiment, be recommended by a superior officer or show an extreme ability to maintain civility and present resolution between two parties. Also, you must pass PT/boot camp and have served at least two weeks in Infantry or any other respective regiment to be eligible for the MP exams.

Tasks of the Interim Security Force
The Military Police serve in policing and security roles on every base and station of the 11th, as well as with the various regiments and battalions. The ISF continues to serve with Iron Legion forces, and in Embassies and High Commissions around the world. Tasks include:
• Supporting 11th Marine Division, United States and Iron Legion missions around the world, by providing policing and operational support. • Enforcing laws and regulations on DoD establishments. • Investigating and reporting incidents involving military and/or criminal offences. • Performing other policing duties, such as traffic control, traffic-accident investigation, emergency response, and liaison with 11MD, allied and other foreign police forces. • Developing and applying crime prevention measures to protect military communities against criminal acts. • Coordinating tasks related to persons held in custody (including military detainees and prisoners of war). • Providing security at selected locations around the world. • Providing service to the community through conflict mediation, negotiation, dispute resolution, public relations and victim assistance. |
Obligations
• Before an arrest, an officer must have a warrant from the Command Staff before he can prosecute or attempt to apprehend a suspect. Warrants are requested through the Requisitions Form, and will be drafted and attached to an email by a member of the Command Staff.
• Officers must have sufficient evidence towards a suspect before an arrest may be made. • Must adhere within the boundaries of the law. • Must understand authority and responsibility • Suspects will be arrested and transported to a jail or brig. Then they will await a military or civilian tribunal and will be prosecuted by due process. • Inconsistencies of an officer may result in termination or movement to another unit. • And above all, you are the Law. You're not above it. If you abuse power, you will be terminated from your posting and possibly from the Division. We will not tolerate omnipotence over members. Use your head and stick to the book. Limitation of authority and jurisdiction
Since military law enforcement officers are members of the armed forces, they are prohibited from enacting domestic law enforcement powers unless authorized in a joint cooperation capacity. Military law enforcement officers may enforce certain limited powers, such as traffic stops, on access roads and other federal property not necessarily within the boundaries of their military base or installation.

Interim Security Anti-terrorism Team (ISAT) Companies are capable of rapidly deploying to immediately improve security at installations worldwide or provide counter-terrorist capabilities. ISAT maintains forward-deployed platoons at various commands, and possesses alert forces capable of rapidly responding to unforeseen contingencies worldwide.
ISAT companies maintain a high degree of readiness in order to conduct these short-notice contingency operations. The ISAT companies provides the 11th Marine Division a dedicated force protection and anti-terrorist unit. ISAT Companies are equipped to perform security missions as directed by the Provost Marshal General. ISAT Companies augment installation security when a threat condition is elevated beyond the ability of resident and auxiliary security forces. Each company is well grounded in basic infantry skills. ISAT Companies are primarily designed to conduct defensive combat operations, military security operations, and rear area security operations. They also can be tailored for specific tasks from the Provost Marshal General. They also ensure nuclear material is not compromised. • Dedicated, armed, combat-trained cadre. • Task organized and equipped to perform security missions of long duration. • Augment installation security when the threat condition has been elevated beyond the capability of the permanent security force. • Train installation security forces in anti-terrorism and weapons marksmanship. • Assist the base security officer in the preparation of base defense and other security plans. • Requested by combatant and fleet commanders-in-chief. • Deploy only upon approval of the Provost Marshal General. There is one ISAT Battalion holding four ISAT companies, security force, headquarters and a training company. |
The Interim Response Team (IRT) units are composed of specialized close quarter battle platoons & specializes in SWAT and close quarter battle procedures without having to be military police special reaction team trained, with exception to military police training. Members of the 11th are given an opportunity, if the Command Staff allows them, to try out for IRT, which is colloquially referred to as simply the "CQB Platoon," or just "CQB."
Typically, only a small fraction of the members who are permitted to try out for CQB Platoon are actually selected from the grueling 1 selection process. Those who are selected then have a tactical spin-up (a period of intensive preparatory training), in which the CQB Platoon's current Operators help to get the newly selected candidates ready for the 3rd hardest tactical school in the 11th. If they successfully complete spin-up, and an alternate is chosen in one of their places, the IRT candidates then report to CQB School where they undergo an intensive a 2-week advanced combat marksmanship and dynamic assault course, during which, in-extreme missions & counter-proliferation are heavily emphasized. The members also learn to violently recapture, and take back by force, personnel and property that has been stolen or otherwise compromised. If they pass the nearly 2 week long CQB school, (98% don't), they officially earned the Response Team Member title, and they then go back to where they spend several more days getting "broken in" by the platoon as new Operators. Upon successfully completing that phase, the candidates are formally admitted onto the Interim Response Team as Shooters (also more controversially known as "Operators.") All IRT Shooters must attend the following schools to obtain the appropriate certifications: • Law Enforcement Training School • Basic Security Guard (Anti-Terrorism Training) • Close Quarter Battle School (not including platoon tryouts, spin-ups and the post-Schoolhouse breaking in period.) • Special Operations Qualifications School And are eligible to attend the following courses, pending their command's approval: • Designated Marksman Course • Methods of Entry or MOE, (small unit demolition and door breaching tactics) • High Risk Personnel also known as executive protection. • Interservice Non-lethal Individual Weapons • Instructor Course and other riot control techniques • Helicopter and Rope Suspension Techniques Master Course, aka H.R.S.T., from Special Operations Training Group: This course focuses on how to properly rappel down structures and out of helicopter, fast rope out of helicopter, use Special Purpose Insertion and Extraction SPIE rigging and how to rig these systems to an aircraft with the proper gear for safe tactical operations. However, this is not in the pipeline fashion, as it is with other specialty units. IRT receives the "on job training" needed after going to CQB school, before going to the others schools listed. The IRT Close Quarters Battle Teams go to various installations to teach CQB to units such as but are not limited to: • military police special reaction teams • other military branches (both foreign and domestic), • law enforcement organizations (federal, state, and local). |
