What is the primary mission of the Security Forces?

The primary mission of the Security Forces is centered around the protection of Air Force resources and personnel through law enforcement and security measures. This mission encompasses a broad range of responsibilities, including safeguarding airbases, ensuring the security of aircraft, facilities, and equipment, and maintaining law and order within the military environment.

The focus on law enforcement and security measures is critical as it establishes a safe environment for operations to be conducted without the threat of sabotage, espionage, or criminal activity. Security Forces personnel are specially trained to respond to a variety of situations, from emergencies and threats to routine security operations. Their skills are essential in enforcing military regulations and providing a structured environment where Air Force operations can proceed effectively.

In contrast, while the enforcement of civilian laws, intelligence operations, and training in combat skills are important components of military readiness, they are not the primary focus of the Security Forces' mission. The primary goal is on protection and security, which sets the foundation for all other activities conducted within the military framework.
