Every job in the United States Air Force has a critical mission, but the responsibility of defending and protecting everything and everyone inside an Air Force installation lies on Security Forces.
“What we always tell the airmen is that nobody else on base can do their job without us…all the way down to the gate. If they can’t check an ID properly and ensure base security, then my individuals working at the medical facility cannot do their job. My individuals working at Knopf cannot do their job without us, so we are the first base support,” Bradley Rayburn, TSgt, USAF said.
“The journey is about 65 days long. It starts with them arriving out of BMT out of here at Lackland Air Force base,” said Rayburn. But the training doesn’t end at Lackland. Students go on to an expeditionary component at camp Bullis, north of San Antonio. Upon returning, they’ll take on combatives -- a final and critical component to their training led by retired Senior Sergeant Richard Olivares, who served 26-years and nine days on active duty. His new passion is training the young defenders.“What we do is we teach these students to use the minimal amount of force as possible, obviously up to and including lethal force, which includes a firearm.
