772nd MP BN was relocated to Carlisle Barracks, PA on 22 April 1946 and remaining there until 13 November 1946. On 13 November 1946, the Battalion was again relocated to Fort George G. Meade, Maryland. Effective on the reorganization of the War Department (11 June 1946,the 772nd MP BN is relieved from the 3rd Svc and is reassigned to the 2nd Army - per Ag 322 (4 June 1946) AO-I-WDGCT- M, dtd 10 June 1946. The 772nd Military Police Battalion received alert notification for Korea and readied the equipment for movement and was deployed in September 1950, landing at Wonsan. After Stopping the North Korean armies from conquering South Korea and pushing them north to the Yalu River, the United Nations forces halted in the northern portion of the peninsula. About 1 November 1950, twelve (12) Chinese divisions were in North Korea and poised to attack. After bitter fighting in the mountains during November, under horrible winter conditions, UN Forces began a major withdrawal by 1 December 1950. At this time, the men of the 772nd Military Police Battalion were stationed in the area of Hamhung under command of X Corps Provost Marshal. Although the battalion was authorized 45 officers and 748 enlisted personnel, there were only 38 officers and 412 enlisted personnel on duty. Company A, managed the POW Stockade. On 3 December northern check points of the city were reinforced and the armored car section was placed on security of the critical 2nd Street bridge that led from Hamhung to Hungnam. The Battalion headquarters was relocated to the port city of Hungnam and was followed the next day by Company A, with the POW stockade. On 10 December, all available officers and enlisted men of the battalion were committed to duty at the port and on the MSR, near Hungnam. By the next day, the MSR was almost clogged. it took extra effort to continue the flow. On 12 December, about 8,000 desperate Korean refugees attempted to enter the area of the port. MP's of the battalion were rushed for crown control and moved the people back. By 13 December, the traffic problem was immense. To alleviate this, a new airfield was quickly constructed and POW's and wounded were evacuated by aircraft. Units of the 772nd MP BN were also assigned security duties at the piers to prevent theft. Withing two days the first elements of the battalion, along with 20 vehicles were loaded for evacuation. On 16 December the refugee problem almost overpowered the resources of the battalion. Most of companies B and C were dispatched to the southern edge of Hamhung to turn them back. At the same time, Company D was performing the same job at the Yongpo Bridge. They were assisted in these operations by MP's from the 3rd and 7th Infantry Divisions. Meanwhile, Company A was processing POW's as quickly as possible and preparing them for evacuation. On 17 December the company escorted about 700 POW's to the pier for loading aboard ships. Then, as the perimeter around the port closed-in, the MP's of the 772nd Battalion on outlying posts were relieved by infantry units. On 19 December the remainder of the battalion was ordered to boaed for evacuation and within four days were in operation near Pusan, Korea. The evacuation of United Nations forces from North Korea in December 1950 involved the use of 173 vessels. About 105,000 troops and more than 98,000 civilians were evacuated and this was accomplished under constant enemy fire. For five days during December 1950, the 772nd MP BN and subordinated units of the 58th, 59th, 88th MP Companies controlled traffic, provided security and expidited refugee evacuation in the face of 3 advancing Chinese Army units. Finally on 22 December, two days before the port fell to the Communists, Companies A, C and Headquarters pulled out with X Corps Headquarters. The same day, as units of the 3rd Division began their evacuation, Companies B and D boarded ships and left. On Christmas Eve, two days later, the last of the 3rd Division left and the evacuation was completed. From Hungnam, battalion headquarters, Companies A and C landed at Pusan and then went up to Kyung-ju with X Corps Headquarters. Companies D and B landed at Uisan and proceeded to Kyung-ju, arriving there on 23 December. This was the last time all the Companies of the Battalion were located at the same installation during this period in history. At this time the "Deuce" entered into a period during which it became the most distinguished MP unit in Korea. Oddly enough, it is during this period that the Battalion became only indirectly concerned with the battle in the front lines. Assigned the mission of controlling the MSR in eastern Korea and shortly after, that of railway security, the men of the Deuce became active participants in the little known war between the UN Forces and Bandits and Communist guerrillas. Meanwhile, Headquarters, Companies A and D moved to Yongchon, arriving there on 8 January 1951. Company A partrolled the MSRs northward from Yongchon toward Uisong, meeting patrols of Company C at a point between the two towns. It also had patrols on the road eastward to Pohang on the coast, southward to Kyung-ju, and westward toward Taegu, meeting Company B patrols near K-2 Airbase. The primary mission of the "Deuce" in performing MSR patrol at this time was, of course, to see that convoys of supplies, equipment and men moved to the front and back with the greatest ease and speed possible. Meanwhile, the Battalion began to get an inkling of what its mission was to be in the future.Finally, one day in August 1951, notification was received from Eighth U.S. Army Headquarters that the "Deuce" would discontinue its mission of MSR patrol and take over the responsibility of security for all United Nations supplies moving by rail in Korea. Thus, on 5 September 1951, 772nd MP BN Headquarters was established in Taegu, the home of the "Deuce's " new boss, the 3rd Transportation Military Rail System. Company A had moved to Taejon a week earlier.. Company A was given the area along the Main Line from Taegu to Yong-dong-po. They also covered a spur line from Taejon to Kunsan. Company C, took the trains over from Company A, at Yongdong-po and continued on the main line as far north as Musan. In total, the Battalion was given the responsibility of securing 970 territorial miles of rail lines and rail yards. Men of the "Deuce" were located at 21 different towns spread all over Southern Korea. During April of 1953 the "Deuce" played a part in "Operation Little Switch ", which was to exchange the sick and wounded Prisoners of War (POW's). Communist sick and wounded POW's would have be to transferred from their hospital camp in Pusan through South Korea to Freedon Village near Panmunjon. It was decided that this movement would be made by rail for the most part. It was also recognized that there would possible be demonstrations by South Korean against these POW's. The "Deuce" was called upon to guard against such demonstrations. On 27 July 1953 a truce in Korea was officially established. As a formal branch of the Army, military police remain on duty in Korea patrolling the demilitarized zone. On 27 July 1953 a truce in Korea was officially established.
