The 333rd Military Police Brigade is a unit of the US Army Reserve assigned to the 200th Military Police Command.[1] The unit was raised in 1942 in the Army of the United States as the 800th Military Police Battalion at Fort Ord, Calif.[2] During World War II it earned campaign streamers in New Guinea and Luzon. It was inactive from 1947 to 1949 when it was reorganized as the 333rd Military Police Battalion in the reserves at Buffalo, NY as a part of First Army. It was moved to New York City in 1952 after a brief inactivation and redesignated as the 800th Military Police Battalion. In 1959, it was the HHD 800th Military Police Group and first moved to Garden City and later Hempstead, NY in 1966. In 1984, it became HHC 800th Military Police Brigade. Finally, in 2012 it became the 333rd Military Police Brigade.[3]
