7520th Security Police Flight

The 7520th Security Police Flight was a United States Air Force unit active during the Cold War era. Stationed at Wheelus Air Base, Libya, the unit was responsible for providing security and law enforcement for the installation, which was a key Strategic Air Command facility in North Africa. The 7520th played a crucial role in safeguarding U.S. assets, personnel, and nuclear weapons stored at the base during a period of heightened tensions with the Soviet Union. The unit was eventually inactivated following the withdrawal of American forces from Libya in the early 1970s.
