Hi Stan, welcome to the forum. We have had discussions here on the 19th Engineers, cant find the topic links right now, maybe Marion can help with that.
The 230th MP Bn was under command of the Peninsular Base Section in Italy.
It wasnt unusual to be transfered to another unit after being injured or to facilitate sending men home at the end of the war. It would seem to me your dad had enough points to go home by 1945 & the 230th was his "ticket" home.
My dad was in the 706th MP Bn from `42 - `45 had a similar situation in `45 when the 706th was being sent to the CBI theater. He was sent home with the 347th MP Co.
