I know that in previous years MPs have worn Class B uniforms while doing jobs in non-combat areas, but I don't know why they stopped wearing them in favor of combat uniforms.

I was in from 91 until 2001 and I can only think of maybe two occasions I wore the class B uniform on duty, generally it was reserved for a special occasion.

Because people got tired of spending $150 on a new pair of pants after wrestling a drunk

Really explain in simple just because it's no longer a military uniform Military Police are used to have 40 for uniforms we had the khakis we had to fatigues we had our summer "A's" winter "A's" but somewhere down the road someone felt we need to save money so they cut back on the uniforms

For on duties I think mp should not wear class b do to the physical aspect of the job and it makes them a soft target wearing a Class B uniform on duty. But for ceremonial purposes I believe and he should wear the Class B uniforms.

I would say that it is the same reason that we don't use the Class B uniform for daily use in other garrison functions. We don't normally wear the Class B for anything.
