Hi,
I’m a military police officer in the Australian Army. What options are open to me for a lateral transfer to the US Army? Will the USMC recognise my officer training?

Hello Will, while the skills obtained as a MP in the Australian army might, indeed, be a very helpful tool in dealing with worldwide operations the USMC is involved with, any individual wanting to be a Marine must go through Officer Candidates School, United States Naval Academy, or for enlisted USMC boot camp at either Paris Island, SC or at San DIego, CA. Entrance to one of these programs is strictly based on personal history, educational history, residency status, and the needs of the Marine Corps. Talking to a USMC recruiter would probably be more helpful in detailing what career fields are currently available and whether MPs would be the right choice; although as an Officer in the USMC, career fields are highly competitive and based solely on the needs of the Marine Corps. Hope that helped
