820th Security Forces Group
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 820th Security Forces Group is a unit of the United States Air Force at Moody Air Force Base[1], Georgia. It is a Force Protection unit of 12 AFSCs with an airborne capability. At a moment's notice, it provides the expeditionary Air Force's only worldwide deployable, "first-in," fully integrated, multi-disciplined, self-sustaining Force Protection capability. There is no other Security Forces or Force Protection unit in the Air Force with the amount of training, diverse deployment history, and multi-service validation as the 820th Security Forces Group.
The Group has the following subordinate units:
- 822d Security Forces Squadron
- 823d Security Forces Squadron
- 824th Security Forces Squadron
Since activation in 1997, the 820 SFG has deployed in support of Operations Desert Safeside, Southern Watch, Iraqi Freedom, Enduring Freedom, and Bright Star. It has deployed to locations such as Iraq, Djibouti, Cairo, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Pakistan.
It was a subordinate unit of the 23d Wing, but in January 2008, the 820 SFG move under the 93d Air Ground Operations Wing when the latter activated on 29 January 2008.
