Defensor
Fortis tells the story of the men and women who have served, who do serve,
and who will serve as the defenders of the United States Air Force.
The book chronicles the history from the beginning of the Air Force to the current forces tasked with defense of the Air Force and its various resources.
On the birthday of the United States Air Force, all Army Air Corps resources to include airbases and personnel would be transferred to the new aerospace service. Army Military Police would become Air Police. The nuclear era and cold war would transform Air Police into Security Police, the new emphasis being Security. 1997 brings new re-organization to reflect the emphasis on Force Protection and Anti-Terrorism. Currently, the missions of Law Enforcement, Aircraft Security, and Air Base Defense are incorporated into the versatile and modern USAF Security Forces.
Looks and reads great. With plenty of pictures to entertain, this book is great for military historians, Security Forces units, ROTC detachments, Military Recruiters, all era USAF security personnel, Shadow Boxes, and of course, it's intended audience; current Security Forces troops.
