450th Air Police Squadron-Foster AFB, Texas

The 450th Air Police Squadron was activated at Foster Air Force Base, Texas, in the early 1950s as part of the 450th Fighter-Bomber Wing. Tasked with providing security and law enforcement, the squadron protected aircraft, personnel, and vital installations during the height of the Cold War. Its personnel conducted base defense, access control, and emergency response operations, maintaining constant readiness. The unit remained active until Foster AFB's closure in 1959, after which the squadron was inactivated alongside the base’s drawdown.
