43rd SPS

The 43rd Security Police Squadron (43rd SPS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for base security and law enforcement, primarily stationed at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, during the Vietnam War era. Activated in the 1960s, the squadron played a crucial role in safeguarding strategic bombers and resources as part of Operation Arc Light and other Pacific operations. The 43rd SPS maintained a high state of readiness, conducting perimeter defense, patrols, and anti-sabotage missions. The unit was eventually inactivated or redesignated as Security Forces in line with USAF organizational changes in the late 20th century.
