description: 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.
