Brought to you by the guys who guard the gates, who run the IDs, and deal with the Sgt Major's dependapotamus on the daily, and the LT's really...really annoying spouse. The Security Forces of the Air Force. The Defenders of the force and the first line of defense at any Air Force base. They have the cool stuff the rest of the airmen want, guns, warfare training, and berets. Security Forces are the police of an Air Force base, but most importantly they serve as guards, either at checkpoints, gates, or special facilities. Most Airmen can feel at ease because these men and women are dedicated to their guys (unless they have expired ID). Nonetheless, the Air Force security forces take an oath to defend their fellow airmen above all else. Thank a security force officer today.
