Hi all,

I enjoy collecting Military Security unit patches,and here is one that I recently acquired that I had never seen before.

I have'nt been able to find out much about this unit except that I believe that they are responsible for the Security of the Top Secret Cheyenne Mountain Complex, Colorado,where NORAD is based inside of the mountain.

Hello, I was a member of this particular squadron ('87-'89), assigned to Headquarters Air Force Space Command Elite Guard, which was assigned to Peterson AFB (just down the hill, referring the Cheyenne Mountain). We were charged with all aspects of security for just two buildings on the base and all personnel assigned (which was about 3000).

 

As a newly formed unit, we got the cold shoulder from the other Security Police units in the area. Being assigned to protect 20+ General Officers, led to a lot of ego crushing between us and the Peterson AFB and Falcon Air Force Station, Security Police Units. We had the best equipment and best training (never had to wait for a slot). OPS-TEMPO was very busy but great duty, especially for the single guys.

 

Thanks for bringing back some fond memories...
