I didn't know that the air force had such a crew.
That is great, the more eyes, the better.

Whenever I walked past the Air Force Office of Special Investigations building on any Air Force base I felt like I was being watched.

You haven't seen SG-1. Airmen are soldiers too and pretty damn good ones!

Well, of course the airmen on SG-1 are pretty good shots.
It is a work of fiction, after all!

LOL Camp Robinson is to Security Forces what Little Creek is to your clan......outside of Little Rock AFB. We had to start attending a school there back in the late 80’s and 90’s that tasked our EOD teams as well. Not for this counter sniper op but off base long range patrols. Not sure if that mission is still in their bag of tricks. USAF SF Wing Nuts are not to be toyed with........they are about as much the quiet professionals as one can ask for......
They do good these days as they did in days past......

I wouldn’t want to go up against these guys. They wrote the books on defense in depth, static and mobile and have that neat little key to the AC-130 at hand 24/7 pretty much these days !

The Security Forces keep trending away from an inside the perimeter mentality-the Theory and Doctrime started coming into it’s own in the 80’s, but it’s taken this long to get the desk jockeys that were blocking the transition outof the way.
They will always be there, but success like this breeds success
