2711th Air Police Squadron

The 2711th Air Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit primarily tasked with base security and law enforcement duties during the early years of the Cold War. Activated in the 1950s, the squadron was assigned to manage the protection of strategic air assets and personnel at its designated installation, ensuring the safety and operational readiness of USAF missions. The unit's responsibilities included physical security, access control, and rapid response to security incidents, often adapting to evolving threats during heightened periods of international tension. The squadron was eventually inactivated or redesignated as part of Air Force organizational restructuring in the late 1950s or early 1960s, as the Air Police transitioned into the modern Security Forces.
