The Air Force Security Forces Association is a worldwide Organization of security force professionals. Since its birth in 1986, it has been a significant factor in preserving the security forces career field. Our membership spans generations, encompassing the Army Air Corps and continuing over the years to the men and women who are serving their first assignment today. Membership is open to anyone
who has served honorably in the Army Air Corps MPs, USAF Air Police, Security Police, or Security Forces, including active duty, Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve, and DAF Police Officers. There is a distinctive relationship among the many men and women who have served or are serving in the Air Police, Security Police, or Security Forces career field. Some call it the "Bond of the Blue Beret." This bond ties the members of the AFSFA together in a unique way. From Korea, to Vietnam, to Iraq, Security Forces have served together to defend American resources. We maintain a tremendous pride in the men and women who were the beret today. They are performing duties that earlier generations never dreamed would be a role for the force. The equipment and training are the best in the world. The demands put on the troops by the ops tempo place pressure on them and their families unlike any before. Our members share a sense of responsibility for this career field, and AFSFA takes seriously our responsibility to gibe a helping hand wherever we can.
