7206th Security Police Squadron

The 7206th Security Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit stationed at Hellenikon Air Base near Athens, Greece, during the Cold War era. Activated in the late 1950s, the squadron was tasked with providing security and law enforcement for U.S. Air Force personnel, assets, and installations in the region. The unit played a critical role in safeguarding sensitive operations and supporting NATO missions during periods of heightened tension in Southeast Europe. The 7206th Security Police Squadron remained active until the closure of Hellenikon Air Base and the drawdown of U.S. forces in Greece in the early 1990s.
