US troops are not taught the skills and techniques of policing, unless that happens to be their specialty, i.e. MPs and SPs. Even in the Air Force even that job is subdivided into "security" and "law enforcement"
To put it in the simplest terms possible the job of the military is to blow things up and kill people. Neither of those is the role of the police.

Peacekeeping missions are a different animal altogether!
