1 MP Bn have commenced the Warrant Officer Class 1 Ken Bullman OAM lecture series (KBLS). The lecture series is named after the Military Police’s most senior soldier and is designed to emphasise the importance of Professional Education within MP Units and Corps.
The aim of the lecture series is to broaden the education of senior MP soldiers and officers through exposure to law enforcement activities outside of the Australian Army. This is important as MPs are the primary provider of land based MP effects in support of offshore ADF operations. Further, noting the adaptive nature of the operating environment, particularly where it relates to law enforcement and criminality in the battlespace, the lecture series is designed to increase intellectual capability to ensure that we are able to provide strategic, operational and tactical level capabilities in the future operating environment.

- History of the Battalion
- Know your Teams
- Know your reference point.
