As at 1230 hrs today, Brigadier Vivienne Buck has assumed the appointment of Provost Marshal (Army) & Commander 1 Military Police Brigade.

The role of Provost Marshal (Army), is one of the most ancient appointments in the whole of the British Services. The title dates back to 1511 when Sir Henry Guildford was appointed the first Provost Marshal. Over half a millennium later, it is with much pride that the first female Provost Marshal (Army) has taken up post.

Brig Buck says; “It is a great privilege and honour for me to have been appointed as the 43 rd Provost Marshal (Army) and the first female to assume the appointment. It is encouraging that the RMP is a shining example of equality across all ranks including Brigadier." #ExemploDucemus
