The Emperor's New Clothes -- SF Force Structure and EAF Force Protection

Abstract

This paper examines the current capability of United States Air Force Security Forces (SF) to protect the Expeditionary Aerospace Force (EAF) against modern threats. In this paper, I make some relatively distinctive observations about the threat we face and the efficacy of current SF capabilities to counter that threat. This paper is in no way intended to diminish the valiant contributions of the unsung SF personnel who protect USAF people and assets. Rather, this paper was conceived from a strong belief in the dedication and talent of our Security Forces, and a determination that there exists a better way to do business.
