OTHER
USEFUL INFORMATION:
The Provost Marshal
Corp
is primarily a service organization.
We do not announce when we operate but
perform our services behind the scene. Our
plan is
generally to ascertain where our services
are needed, and provide them without
fanfare. Many times Shriners will not be aware
that
we have performed many of our services
for them.
