Diyala, Iraq – An induction ceremony for new noncommissioned officers in the 202nd Military Police Company, 607th Military Police Battalion, 8th Military Police Brigade, took place at Forward Operating Base Warhorse, located in the Diyala Province of Iraq, Feb. 17.

“Inducting noncommissioned officers into the corps is important for them because it teaches them the line that they have to separate between Soldier and noncommissioned officer, and becoming a leader as opposed to a follower,” said 1st Sgt. William F. Finch Jr., first sergeant, 202nd MP Co.

Speakers at the ceremony included Command Sgt. Maj. Gabriel Cervantes, command sergeant major, 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division, and Command Sgt. Maj. of the Army Adel Hassan Hamad, command sergeant major of the Iraqi Army.
