The 160th Military Police Battalion was constituted on 18 September 1947 in the Army National Guard and organized in Tallahassee, Florida. Throughout its history, the battalion has provided law enforcement, security, and battlefield circulation control in support of both state and federal missions. The unit has been mobilized for domestic operations, including disaster response, and deployed overseas for operations such as Operation Iraqi Freedom. The 160th MP Battalion continues to serve as a vital asset to the Florida Army National Guard, upholding its motto of "Protect the Right."

The United States Army Reserve was officially established in 1908 to provide a federal reserve of medical officers for the U.S. Army. Over time, its mission expanded to include soldiers from many different specialties, supporting the active Army in times of need. Army Reserve units have been mobilized for every major conflict since World War I, including World War II, the Korean War, Vietnam, Desert Storm, and the Global War on Terrorism. Today, the US Army Reserve provides trained, equipped, and ready soldiers and units to support national defense and humanitarian missions both at home and abroad.
