[citation needed] The 372nd Military Police Company was originally activated on 15 October 1942 in Florence, Arizona under the authority of the Ninth Service Command.
The unit was given orders in mid-July 1943 to report to Camp Shanks, near Orangeburg, New York for shipment to Italy in support of the Naples-Foggia Campaign.
In January 1964 members of the unit provided site security and acted as guides to the area for the B-52 which crashed in Garrett County.
On 30 June 1973 the unit shifted its location to Cresaptown, Maryland, where it shared the reserve center with the 265th Ordnance Company.
Charles Graner, Lynndie England, Sabrina Harman and others were later investigated and made to serve time in a military prison.
