60th Security Police Squadron TAFB CA

The 60th Security Police Squadron was an essential unit assigned to Travis Air Force Base (TAFB), California, during the Cold War and beyond. Activated as part of the 60th Military Airlift Wing, the squadron was responsible for base security, law enforcement, and force protection of critical airlift operations. Throughout its service, the unit provided security for both personnel and strategic assets, including aircraft and nuclear resources, especially during periods of heightened alert. The squadron played a vital role in supporting global mobility missions and humanitarian operations until its redesignation as the 60th Security Forces Squadron in the late 1990s, reflecting broader changes in Air Force security operations.
