35th SPS Phan Rang AB, Viet Nam

The 35th Security Police Squadron (35th SPS) was an Air Force unit assigned to Phan Rang Air Base in the Republic of Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Activated at Phan Rang in October 1966, the 35th SPS was responsible for the security and defense of the base, safeguarding aircraft, personnel, and resources from enemy attacks and sabotage. The squadron played a critical role during frequent mortar and rocket attacks, as well as repelling ground assaults, notably during the Tet Offensive and other major enemy actions. The 35th SPS remained at Phan Rang until the base was turned over to the Republic of Vietnam Air Force in 1972, earning several commendations for its service and dedication.
