1913rd Security Squadron

The 1913rd Security Squadron was a United States Air Force unit activated during the Cold War era to provide signals intelligence (SIGINT) and communications security in support of U.S. and allied operations. Stationed at various overseas locations, including Detachment 1 at RAF Chicksands in the United Kingdom, the squadron played a critical role in monitoring and analyzing Warsaw Pact communications. The 1913rd worked closely with the Air Force Security Service (USAFSS), contributing to the broader intelligence mission of the National Security Agency (NSA). The squadron was eventually inactivated as part of the post-Cold War restructuring and consolidation of Air Force intelligence units.
