377th Security Police Sq

The 377th Security Police Squadron was activated during the Vietnam War as part of the United States Air Force’s 377th Air Base Wing, stationed at Tan Son Nhut Air Base near Saigon. Tasked with base defense, law enforcement, and security operations, the squadron played a critical role in protecting vital air assets and personnel against frequent enemy attacks, including the major Tet Offensive in 1968. Members of the 377th were noted for their bravery and professionalism under fire, often engaging in fierce ground combat to repel Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces. Following the end of U.S. involvement in Vietnam, the squadron’s lineage and honors continued in various forms, with its legacy enduring in modern Air Force security and force protection units.
