341 Security support group MAFB, MT and 39th combat defense sqd. (CDS) security EAFB,Fl

The 341st Security Support Group at Malmstrom Air Force Base (MAFB), Montana, plays a vital role in safeguarding the operational readiness and security of the United States’ intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) force, primarily under the 341st Missile Wing. Its mission encompasses providing specialized support, logistics, and training to security forces responsible for protecting missile silos and related facilities. At Eglin Air Force Base (EAFB), Florida, the 39th Combat Defense Squadron (CDS) Security was activated during the Cold War era, tasked with defending the base and its critical assets against potential threats. The 39th CDS contributed significantly to base defense readiness, field exercises, and the development of evolving U.S. Air Force security doctrines before its eventual inactivation as part of broader Air Force Security Police restructuring.
