1st NATO Military Police Working Group

The city of Valencia hosted the NATO Military Police Working Group (MPWG) from 3 to 7 February 2025. This event brought together 91 military personnel from 25 different nations, with the aim of developing and coordinating Military Police doctrine, tactics and procedures in combined and joint environments.

The MPWG, which has recently been elevated to Working Group status, is organised annually and is attended by representatives from NATO member nations, as well as agencies and friendly countries with an interest in military policing.

During the week, participants attended a number of plenary meetings and working sessions at the Santo Domingo barracks, where key issues for NATO member nations' military police were discussed. In addition, social and cultural activities were held to foster camaraderie among participants.

The organisation of this event in Valencia reinforces Spain's visibility and prestige in the eyes of allied countries, highlighting the commitment and organisational capacity of the Spanish Army.
