The 831st Air Police Squadron was a United States Air Force unit active primarily during the Cold War era. Originally activated in the mid-1950s, the squadron was assigned to George Air Force Base, California, where it provided vital security and law enforcement for base operations and assets. The 831st played a crucial role in safeguarding tactical fighter wings and supporting deployments during periods of heightened alert, contributing to the overall mission readiness of the base. The unit was later redesignated as the 831st Security Police Squadron as part of an Air Force-wide reorganization and continued its legacy of base defense until the closure of George AFB in 1992.

The 35th Security Police Squadron (35th SPS) was a United States Air Force unit responsible for base security and law enforcement, primarily associated with the 35th Tactical Fighter Wing. Activated during the Vietnam War era, the squadron was stationed at Phan Rang Air Base in South Vietnam, where it played a vital role in protecting personnel and assets from enemy attacks, including rocket and ground assaults. The 35th SPS was recognized for its professionalism and bravery, especially during intense combat situations such as the Tet Offensive. After the Vietnam conflict, the unit's lineage continued through various reassignments and re-designations as part of ongoing Air Force security operations.
