My Tour of Duty was from 1979 to 1982. After Basic Training I was Stationed at Fort Ord, CA with the 54th MP CO, then I was transferred to the 54th MP Det. at Fort Hunter Liggett, which is 80 miles south of Ft. Ord, and in the middle of the most beautiful country one could ever see. FHL is situated pretty much in the middle of nowhere with the nearest town of any size is about 30 miles to the north, which is King City. The small town, Jolon, Pop: 66, consisting of mainly militay personel, is just outside the maingate of FHL. The post is 167,000 acres of mountains and valleys, and is a training and experimental area for the military. Fort Hunter Liggett at the time was home to approx. 1500 support troops. Also it was the home of the 54th Military Police Det. detached from the 54th MP Co out of Fort Ord, CA.
This site is dedicated to the Men and Women of the 54th MP Det. whom I proudly served with.
