Deployed from Grand Forks AFB, N.D., Lackland AFB, Tex., RAF Mildenhall, England, and Ramstein AFB, Germany, the airmen comprise Det. 4 of the 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron.

When not dealing with emergencies, they are on patrol checking identification badges, searching for security breaches, and setting up traffic control points.
