842nd Security Police Group

The 842nd Security Police Group was an Air Force security unit activated during the Vietnam War era to provide protection and law enforcement for U.S. air bases in Southeast Asia. The group was responsible for safeguarding personnel, aircraft, and critical resources, often under the threat of enemy attack and sabotage. Its security operations included perimeter defense, quick reaction forces, and coordination with base defense units. The 842nd played a crucial role in ensuring the operational readiness and safety of U.S. Air Force installations before its eventual inactivation as part of postwar drawdowns.
