Welcome to NCOA Magnum Force Chapter 0357

Welcome to the website for the 357 Chapter of the Non Commissioned Officers Association of the United States of America. This website is dedicated to the men and women who served in the 357th Military Police Co. USAR; based in Saginaw, Michigan, before it was deactivated prior to the first Gulf War. Chapter 357 NCOA was formed in 2000, with a core membership consisting of former members of the 357th MP Co, but is open to all persons who qualify according the NCOA bylaws.

The purpose of this site is to provide information to all chapter members, former 357th MPs, and all who are interested, about chapter activities past and present. Our hope is that we will see more old friends, make new friends, have more fun, and grow our chapter. We encourage former MPs to visit and add their names at: www.militarypolice.com.

NCOA was established in 1960 to enhance and maintain the quality of life for the entire enlisted force in all branches of the Armed Forces, past and present, their families, and their survivors. Its inclusive professional development program for active duty, Guard and Reserve Components of all uniformed services has provided unique symposium programs where participants experience joint military perspectives. In recognition of their work on behalf of military members, families, survivors and veterans, NCOA was granted a Federal Charter by the U.S. Congress in 1988, one of only a few veteran organizations to receive this distinction.
