1063rd Military Police Company (AVN): A Brief History
The 1063rd Military Police Company arrived at Station 356 on 20 May 1943. The company was divided and Detachment A, consisting of two officers and forty-nine enlisted men, was sent to its permanent home at USAAF Station 123 at Horsham St. Faith, Suffolk. By the 22nd, all Station Posts are manned, and the company had taken over the Town Patrols. On the 24th, Company commander Capt. Tyler A. Combs was appointed Station Provost Marshall with his executive officer, Lt. Charles Roden, designated the Assistant Provost Marshall.
On 15 April 1945, like other service units on the station, the company was disbanded by direction of General Order No. 52 issued by 8th Air Force Headquarters. The entire company (two officers and 47 enlisted men), save for one man, was assigned to the new 438th Headquarters and Base Services Squadron. The lone exception, Technician Fifth Grade John W. Maurer, was sent to the 864th Air Engineering Squadron. At the same time, all company personnel were transferred from the Military Police branch of the Army to the Air Corps.
From the company history: "Though we accepted our disbandment gallantly, most of us were sorry to give up that unit designation for which we had been so justly proud. Many of the men had been with the outfit since its activation and had watched its progress from an infant with growing pains to a well disciplined, well informed organization, which often had been hailed, by those who should know, as one of the most outstanding Military Police Companies (AVN) in this Division."
"So we bid it adieu, not with tears in our eyes, but with the highest degree of self-assurance that we have given the 1063rd a definite and outstanding place in the history of World War II."
