The Greek Military Police (Greek: Ελληνική Στρατιωτική Αστυνομία), generally known in Greek by the acronym ESA (Greek: ΕΣΑ), was the military police branch of the Hellenic Army in the years 1951–1974. It developed into a powerful paramilitary organization and a stronghold of right-wing, conservative Army officers. It became the main security (secret police) and intelligence organization during the Greek military junta of 1967–1974. After the fall of the junta and the restoration of democracy in 1974, it was disbanded because of its brutal practices, which included the widespread use of torture.

  • Το ΕΑΤ-ΕΣΑ (αρχικά από: Ειδικό Ανακριτικό Τμήμα της Ελληνικής Στρατιωτικής Αστυνομίας) ήταν το κύριο σώμα ασφαλείας κατά τη διάρκεια της δικτατορίας (1967-1974). Συστάθηκε το 1951, λίγο μετά το τέλος του Εμφυλίου και ενώ επίκειτο η είσοδος της χώρας στο ΝΑΤΟ. Ως τότε, ο Στρατός Ξηράς δεν είχε ξεχωριστό σώμα στρατιωτικής αστυνομίας, και στρατονομικά καθήκοντα ασκούσε η Χωροφυλακή. Οι άνδρες της ΕΣΑ φορούσαν χαρακτηριστική στολή με γαλάζιο πηλήκιο και λευκά περιβραχιόνια ενώ έφεραν μεγάλα ξύλινα κλομπς (ρόπαλα). (el)
