The Comm:tnt.Jing G\.·neral of the BPP is a deputyof the Commi ssionl·r uf the Provincial Polil·t· (PP).(t) The gen€:ral mission o1 the BPP is to secure the landborders of Thailand. This border security mission inciudescontrol of infiltration and sm~~gling, coll~ction of intelligenceconcerning ·lxlrder activities in adjacent countries,collection of intelli~enc~ on Communist activity in borderareas, and development of hilltribcs and remote ar£':..L people.(U) Prior to 1965, BPP border security operations had beenprimarily involved with the apprehension, identification,or elimination of bandit and smuggler ~roups activ~ in theborder areas. Since 1965 the BPP has been one of the primaryRTG a~cncies involved in countering tht· insurgent threat toThai land.&\CKGROL"ND(U) The BPP traces its origin to the Territorial DefensePolice formed in 1951. This force, ~ive~ the mission of providingsecu~ity along the border between Thailand and Laos,initially consisted of 22 platoons with 45 men each. In 1953the Territorial Police Organization was expa~ded to 94 platoonsand its responsibilities were increased to provide bordersecurity throughout the Kingdom.(U) In January 1954 the Terri to rial Police title was changedto Gendarmerie Patrol Force; and the following year another20 platoons were added, bringing the total to 114.
