8th SPS

The 8th Security Police Squadron (8th SPS) is a United States Air Force unit with a distinguished record in base defense and law enforcement operations. Activated at Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base, Thailand, during the Vietnam War, the 8th SPS was responsible for safeguarding the base, its personnel, and vital aircraft assets. The squadron played a critical role during frequent enemy attacks, notably repelling sapper and mortar assaults that threatened base operations. Following the end of U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia, the 8th SPS continued its mission in various locations, adapting to evolving global security challenges as part of the 8th Fighter Wing, known as the "Wolf Pack."
