You mean like a Supply Convoy? Instead of dirtbikes i was thinking of all-terrain motorcycles with sidecars. The Soviets (and from what i've been told, the Russians still do) used them extensively. Can you tell me how MP Checkpoints would be set up? I had gone with this for them... M998A1 HMMWV utility cargo truck w/a M105A2 1½-ton high mobility cargo trailer SGT <>, Team Leader: SPC <>, Combat Field Medic: SPC <>, Radio-Telephone Operator: SPC <>, Designated Marksman: PFC <>, HMMWV Gunner: PFC <>, HMMWV Driver: SPC <name>, MP Dog Handler: PVT <name>, Working Dog: The Gunner and Driver positions could be rotated so the soldiers could get in out of the weather... the HMMWV would be up-armored model. The Designated Marksman position would be set up to preform overwatch. The RTO and CFM would be there for support during medical emergencies and keep them in contact with support. I'm not sure if the Working Dog would be a bomb sniffer or other kind of working dog. I also thought of a working dog with the mortuary affairs teams... but couldn't find info on the mortuary teams that showed them using them. I found how they are organized, and didn't see them being used with the search and recovery teams. I've been working on notes for the Mail Services... pony express type using horses and dirtbikes (or bikes with sidecars so they can carry packages like in WW2).

I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.

Read that as Multi Purpose more than Military Police. Check point can be anything from a Team, to a Squad, to a Platoon, to two platoons. Can be a Simple Traffic Control Checkpoint. One Team. Team Hummer is camouflaged off to the side when a convoy arrives one member covered by the other two gets onto the road and directs convoys onto the appropriate routes (Main Supply Route = MSR) . to a full blown bypass on a two way MSR like a bridge that may need two platoons to direct traffic.
