483rd SPS

The 483rd Security Police Squadron (SPS) was an Air Force unit primarily tasked with providing base security and law enforcement duties. Activated during the Vietnam War, the unit was stationed at Cam Ranh Bay Air Base, South Vietnam, from the late 1960s until the early 1970s. The 483rd SPS played a crucial role in defending the base against enemy attacks, conducting perimeter patrols, and ensuring the safety of personnel and resources. After the U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam, the squadron was inactivated as part of the general drawdown of American forces in Southeast Asia.
