This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Well done.

   B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   The article tends to have "red links", if they don't have articles, it would be best to un-link them, per here.

   Check. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 21:25, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   It would be best if the references use the {{cite web}} format.

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

5. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

7. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.

Photo problem

There is a photo in the article with a caption "Brigade soldiers mourning a fallen comrade at a ceremony in Iraq". Aside from the fact that it shows only one soldier, not soldiers, the soldier is clearly wearing a 101st patch on his left shoulder. If you enlarge it, you can see the patch on his right shoulder is also from the 101st. He is not a 42nd MP Bde. soldier. While it is a good pic, it really doesn't belong in this article. I'm removing it. If anyone objects, please let me know. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

As you can see from the Photo caption on the source site, the Soldier is very much a part of the brigade still, he's just wearing the patch because the battalion he is attatched to is under the command of the Task Force headed by the 101st Airborne. Patches are worn displaying the division headquarters the unit falls under at the time, and for that deployment, the 42nd MP brigade fell under the 101st Airborne's control. -Ed!^(talk)_{(Hall of Fame)} 20:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

595th MP Co

I was deployed with the 595th to Afghanistan. If dates are important for you, we were deployed there November of 2011 to November of 2012! We controlled the Detention Facility in Parwan (DFIP) at Camp Sabalu-Harrison and other detention operations. 149.101.1.115 (talk) 13:35, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
