Description
The Provost ######## relied on soldiers temporarily drawn from other units, and had difficulty enforcing discipline. On ## ### 1778, Congress established the Provost Corps, which General Washington referred to as the "Marechaussee. In January 1776, William Maroney was appointed as the first Provost Marshal of the Continental Army.Under the new organization, the Provost Marshal was responsible for soldiers under custody and for punishments, while the Marechaussee was tasked with the enforcement of order within the Continental Army. The Marechaussee Corps would be formed exclusively as a police organization, and was organized and equipped as light dragoons, utilizing their speed to aid in troop movements and moving prisoners from the battlefield. ____________________________________________________ Regimental Cap: 30 ___________________________________________________ Commanding Officer: N/A Executive Officer: N/A Sergeant Major: N/A
