B. The Air
Policeman's Creed is:
|
|||||||
|
I am an Air Policeman. I
hold allegiance to my country, devotion to duty, and personal integrity
above all. I wear my shield of authority with dignity and restraint,
and, promote by example high standards of conduct, appearance, courtesy,
and performance. I seek no favor because of my position. I perform my
duties in a firm, courteous, and impartial manner. I strive to merit the
respect of my fellow airmen and all with whom I come in
contact.
C. The Mission of SAC
is:
SAC's primary mission is to
prevent nuclear war by the ability to deliver nuclear striking-power on demand. By maintaining a bomber and missile
areo-space force of unquestioned strength, SAC provides a "strategic
umbrella" for the free world. Should it's primary mission fail, SAC is prepared to survive a massive surprise attack arid destroy the enemy's
capability to wage war. |
|||||||
|
• |
|||||||
|
D. The Mission of
CDS is:
To maintain continually a
protection and notification capability that will deter any enemy from
employing overt or covert actions against the SAC Retaliatory Forces and
it's timely launch.
E. The Squadron
Daily Objectives to Complete are:
(1)
A uniformly high capability to detect and report swiftly any local
ground
threat to Category I and II resources and then, by individual
actions of personnel at the scene of the threat, attempt to eliminate
the threat before extensive damage is done.
(2) At all times a
highly mobile, efficiently armed force, Mobile Strike
Team
(MST), capable of immediate and effective response to any alarm
sounded by sentries or workers near Category I and II resources.
(3)
A highly developed capability for emergency expansion of the normal
protection
system into an operation capable of preventing or limiting
damage
to Category I and II resources.
(4) A swift insured
capability to implement established sabotage
notification and
alerting procedures (See SACR 55-1).
F. The Covert Threat
to SAC is:
An unknown threat we
face today from agents of International Communism who's mission is to
block, delay, or destroy the SAC Strike Force thru the use of Sabotage,
Espionage and/or Subversion.
(1) Subversion is:
Process of changing one's attitude and way of thinking
concerning
Communism.
(2)
Espionage is: Gathering of Intelligence Information thru the act
of spying.
(3) Sabotage is: The
Destruction of equipment which is of military value.
G. The Actions
Required if You Observe an Act or Suspected Act of Sabotage
are:
(1) Alarm the Area,
shouting "Seven High" or "Red Skin" (as applicable)
and/or blowing your
whistle.
(2)

occurs which adversely affects the capability launch of the strike
force
and which cannot clearly and immediately be ruled out as possible
enemy
action.
(2) Red Skin;
An oral report transmitted with high priority from base
level
up the chain of command. This report signifies that' one or more of
the
following conditions exist:
a. An incident has
occurred within a Category I or II area which

of the strike force and the capability
and readiness to launch this force.
Additionally, this incident has
been evaluated and confirmed as
an act of SABOTAGE or COVERT ACTION.
b. An incident or
series of incidents of serious magnitude has
occurred that makes it
immediately apparent that SABOTAGE or COVERT
ACTION is the cause.

(3)
Access lists.
(4) Code of the Day.
R. The Authorization to
Apprehend an Individual
Apprehension
is the taking into Custody of a Person. |
|||
|
S.
The Loading and Unloading
of Weapons is Done in The Following Manner:
(1) Caliber
.45
Pistols and Carbines will be issued with the slide or
bolt locked in the open
position. The weapon will be maintained in
this
configuration and carried at port arms or raised pistol until
reaching
a clearing pit where the slide or bolt will be closed and the
hammer
or firing pin released while the weapon is pointing into the
clearing
pit. The magazine will not be inserted at any time during this
procedure.
(2) Loading and
Unloading: The pistol will be loaded at the clearing pit
prior
to personnel being posted and subsequent to Guard Mounts. The
pistol
will have the slide forward and the hammer released while pointed
into the clearing pit prior to insertion of the magazine. The weapon
will
be
returned to the holster prior to leaving the clearing pit. The pistol
will
be unloaded at the clearing pit at the termination of an
individual's
tour of duty. The pistol will not be unloaded during breaks
or
other temporary relief from post. After removing the magazine of the
pistol
the slide will be worked at least twice and the hammer released
with
the weapon pointed into the clearing pit. The pistol will be
returned
to the Armory at the raised pistol position.
(3) The
Carbine: The Carbine will not be loaded or the magazine inserted
while
being carried in a vehicle. MST personnel will insert the magazine
in the
weapon only on dismounting in response to an emergency. Unloading
by MST
personnel will be effected prior to remounting the vehicle. The
weapon
will be pointed skyward, the magazine removed, the bolt operated
several times and the firing pin released. The safety will then be placed
to the
"Safe" position. Carbines will be carried with the bolt forward
and the
safety "On" except at issue and turn-in. Personnel on walking
posts who are
armed with the carbine will insert the magazine when
posted. The bolt will
be forward and the safety on prior to insertion of
the magazine. Personnel
being relieved from post will remove the magazine
and take no other
action until reaching a clearing pit. At the clearing
pit
the operating slide or mechanism will be exercised at least twice and
the
firing pin released with the weapon pointing into the clearing pit.
The
bolt will then be opened and locked in the open position until turned
in.
Carbines that will not reliably lock in the "bolt open" position will
not
be used. The carbine will be carried slung over the shoulder or at
port
arms at all times. No other carrying position is authorized.
T. Military Courtesy is Best
Defined as:
Respect,
Politeness, Manners or Behavior.
Therefore the following rules will always apply.
(1)
When approached by an Officer, Salute and render a Good Morning,
Good
Evening "Sir", etc.
(2)
When inspected by an Officer, or post immediately come to attention
and
report your post in the prescribed manner, remaining at attention
until
told otherwise by the Inspecting Officer. |
||||
|
* |
||||
|
(3) When
questioned by an Officer, always answer "Yes Sir" or "No Sir" in
reply.
The term "Sir" can never be overused. Courtesy is not only
reflected
by the type of military training one receives, it is also
reflected
by the type of training one has received long before as a
civilian
(At Home).
U. My Unit Security
Officer is:
BILLY J. MITCHELL,
Captain, USAF
V. The No Lone Zone
is:
A designated
zone containing critical nuclear components or nuclear
weapons
where the presence of a lone individual is prohibited.
W. The Code of Conduct
is:
(1)
I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard
my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in
their defense.
(2) I
will never surrender of my own free will. If in command I will
never
surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.
(3) If I am
captured I will continue to resist by all means available.
I
will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will
accept
neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.
(4) If I
become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith in my fellow
prisoners.
I will give no information nor take part in any action which
might
be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command.
If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and
will back them up in every way.
(5)
When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war. I am bound to
give
only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade
answering
further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no
oral
or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or
harmful
to their cause.
(6)
I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible
for
my actions, and dedicated to the principles which make my country
free.
I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.
X. I fully understand this
material is more than any one can comprehend in one or two days. It is
therefore necessary for you to maintain this Pamphlet for constant review
and "study. |

EWP TRAINING, PHASE
#11, SECTION #4
SUBJECT: ALERT
NOTIFICATION SYSTEM. TIME: 1 Hour
REFERENCES: SACR 55-1 and SACM 205-5 (Classified)
PURPOSE: The purpose of
this regulation is to establish a system for transmitting from base
or unit level up the channel of command immediate reports of possible,
probable or actual sabotage or hostile covert action which would result in
destroying or damaging or impeding the launch of the retaliatory strike
force.
1. ALERT NOTIFICATION
SYSTEM: |
||||||||
|
a. The SAC Combat Force
Protection Program is a command wide coordinated protection operation.
Individual bases are tied together by the Sabotage Notification System,
which is one of the most important features of the entire protection
program. The notification system is prescribed in SACR 55-1.
b. The Sabotage
Notification System was devised to insure the earliest possible command
indication of the onset of such a covert assault. The system also provides
a means by which SAC could capitalize on any error on the part of the
enemy in timing the initiation of covert assault against individual bases.
The detection and reporting of covert action activity is the responsibility of
every member of the SAC Command.
2.
SEVEN HIGH
PROCEDURES:
a. The Seven High message
is the first element of the two (2) part system. It is a spontaneous oral
report transmitted with high priority from the base CSC, or the base
missile complexes block house, up the channel of command.
b. When a "Seven High"
message is received at CSC from a CDF sentry or other command members, it
is transmitted to the base command post with utmost speed giving the time,
place, and brief synopsis of the situation. The message is then
transmitted up the channel of command until it reaches the Senior Command
Post, HQ. SAC At ZI bases the Senior Command Post transmits
directly to SAC HQ.
(1) In analyzing the
"Seven High" procedure, it becomes evident
that the two most important
factors in the system are: The speed
in which the initial alarm is relayed
to CSC and thence, as a
"Seven
High" message to the SAC Command Post. The validity of the
brief explanation of the event which
caused the initial alarm to
be
given.
(2) With these two
requirements satisfied, the tactical warning
capability of the
procedure provides a very important source of
data
to SAC Command Post.
This data conceivably could prevent a
modern "Pearl Harbor" incident from
occurring. |
||||||||
|
/ |
||||||||
|
3.
REDSKIN
PROCEDURES: |
|||||
|
a. A "Redskin"
message is an oral report transmitted with high priority from the base
CSC or dispersed missile complex block house which signifies any one or
more of the following conditions:
(1) That the event
capable of adversely affecting the
capability or readiness to launch the
retaliatory strike force
has
occurred which is of such serious and
suspicious nature
that, even without investigation, enemy sabotage or
covert
action appears very
probable.
(2) That the base is
implementing Annex "A", (Sabotage Alert)
operations
190-XX.
(3)
A "Redskin" message is normally generated as a result of
MST
investigation of alarm from sentry or other command member,
the
alarm having already generated a "Seven High" message.
b. A "Redskin"
message is basically identical to the "Seven High" message except for
substitution of the words "Redskin" for "Seven High". One major difference
which exists in the procedure is that a classified "zippo" message is
required to be transmitted to SAC Command Post as soon as possible
but within 30 minutes after the "Redskin" message has been sent. This
message should contain detailed information of the event which caused the
base Sabotage Alert to be implemented, the damage sustained, and the
action under way. The "Redskin" message and its other related messages,
therefore serve not only for tactical warning purposes, but also to keep
senior headquarters informed promptly on serious incidents at base
level.
4.
SUMMARY:
The most essential
features of the notification system is the speed with which valid "Seven
High" and "Redskin" reports reach major subordinate commands and the
SAC Command Post. Any circumstances which would delay the receipt of such
report, once a threatening event has been detected would lessen the
possibility that timely reaction and transmission of "Seven High" and
"Redskin" reports must not be injected into the system. |

Policeman in the performance of his duties.
CODE OF ETHICS FOR AIR
POLICE:
Preamble: In America where
the stability of all departments of the government rests upon the
approval of the people, it is essential that the personnel of the Armed
Forces conduct themselves in such a
disciplined manner that the public shall maintain a high respect and
confidence for the integrity and ability of the Department of Defense, The
contribution of the Air Police assists materially in maintaining the good
of the public toward the Armed Forces. That this shall continue, requires
that the conduct and performance of duties of the Air Police be such as to
merit the approval of all just men. Important trusts have been given to
Air Police. The greatest of these is discharging the responsibility to
protect Air Force installations and equipment from damage or compromise by
enemies or potential enemies of the United States and the maintenance of
military discipline. The public will retain confidence In the competency
of the Air Police to fulfill this trust only so long as the Air Police
exercises those functions which they discharge before the public with
integrity, rectitude and prudence. Therefore, this code of ethics is
adopted to augment the established standards and doctrines for the Air
Police. No code of set rules can be framed which will specify exactly what
the Air Policeman should do in each incident which confronts him; however,
the following code of ethics will provide him with a general guide to
achieve meritorious performance of duties and outstanding
services.

|
SUBJECT: SAFETY IN
RESTRICTED AREAS TIME: Thirty (30) Minutes
REFERENCE: AF Series
32
'
PURPOSE: To provide
general knowledge of ground and personal safety in Restricted areas.
GENERAL: Both
personnel and ground safety cannot be stressed too much. To neglect safety in restricted areas could do as much damage to
sensitive resources as an act of sabotage, and all
personnel working in these areas
should be aware of and
practice.
1. PERSONAL
SAFETY:
a. Anyone performing
duties as CDF sentries on a jet aircraft during
an
engine list or actual run up should be aware of the heat and blast
caused
by these engines and if it is necessary for the sentry to be
behind
the engine, he should place himself at least 200 feet to the
rear
of the engine.
b. Smoking on the
flight line is another danger and on many bases is
prohibited, except
in "Safe Smoking Areas". If smoking is allowed,
care should be taken to
make sure there are no flammable materials or
fuels close by and make sure
to be at least 50 feet away from any
aircraft.
c. CDF sentries on
duty on the flightline, should make sure their
shoes
do not have cleats, taps or nails or any other device which
could
possibly cause sparks and still yet might ignite with, fuel
leakage
on the flight line.
2. GROUND
SAFETY:
Ground Safety should always be stressed heavily, as a
careless
driver, an unsafe vehicle, or a runaway vehicle could cause
extensive
damage. Therefore, all CDF
vehicle operators should be thoroughly
familiar
with flight line driving and should know the following:
a. Speed limit on the
flight line, except during an emergency is 15
MPH,
