The MP OSUT trains and educates future military police professionals to sustain the core competencies of the Military Police Corps Regiment. Its mission is to provide the operational force with trained, combat-ready military police Soldiers. The MP OSUT is 115 instructional days and consists of 876 hours of instruction.

The FLETA board is the accrediting body for all federal law enforcement training and support programs. To achieve accreditation, agencies submit to an independent review of their academy and/or program to ensure compliance with the FLETA standards and procedures in the areas of program administration, training staff, training development, training delivery and distance learning.
