Our RAIDERS recently said goodbye to three of our own! 1LT Korpela served as a Platoon Leader for 2nd Platoon and the Executive Officer, 1LT Haas served as the 3rd Platoon Leader, Operations Officer, and Ready Reserve Commander while the unit was deployed in Poland, and SGT Johnson served as a Team Leader and Company Armorer throughout his tenure in the 977th Military Police Company.

Their service doesn’t stop here! 1LT Korpela has moved to 2ABCT as the Provost Marshal, where she serves as the Military Police advisor for their command team. 1LT Haas leads the 97th Military Police Battalion as the Law Enforcement Operations Officer, where he collaborates with law enforcement agencies to continually improve policing functions on Fort Riley. SGT Johnson received PCS orders to Fort Bliss, where he will serve under the 591st Military Police Company.
