50th SPS

The 50th Security Police Squadron (50th SPS) was a United States Air Force unit tasked with base security, law enforcement, and force protection duties. Stationed at Hahn Air Base, Germany, the squadron was part of the 50th Tactical Fighter Wing during the Cold War. Its mission included safeguarding tactical fighter aircraft, nuclear weapons, and critical infrastructure against potential Warsaw Pact threats. The 50th SPS played a vital role in NATO defense until Hahn AB’s closure and the unit’s inactivation in 1991.
