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

   (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.

PURPOSE: To educate and further the knowledge of the student of his responsibility as an Air 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.

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, so that the driver can stop and control his vehicle at all times
    and under all conditions. When answering an emergency call, the speed
    will be no greater than reasonable and prudent for existing
    situations.
 
    b. Be authorized to drive on the flight line (have authorized to
    drive on flight line stamped on his government operators driving
    permit).
 
    c.  Inspect vehicle prior to entering flight line area, for safety
    devices, such as lights, brakes, horn, window shield wipers, rear
    view mirror, exhaust system and steering.
 
    d.  Not have a vehicle unattended with motor running, but set parking
    brake, stop engine, and place in lowest gear.
 
    e.  Not park a vehicle in front of a aircraft which has its engines
    running or is about to be placed into operation.
 
f.  Not park a vehicle where it could roll into an aircraft or other
equipment, if the brakes fail or other mishaps take place.
 
g.  Give "Right of Way" to all taxing or towed aircraft.
 
h. Not drive between close parked aircraft or any associated parts.
 
i. Not drive between an aircraft and "Follow Me" vehicle directing
aircraft movements.
 
j. Make sure that all passengers are separated safely and not interfering with the safe operation of the vehicle.
 
k. Never crosses an active runway or taxiway without approval either by lights or radio from the control tower.
 
SUMMARY: In case of an accident on the flight line, the Ground Safety Officer should be notified at once or as soon as possible.

AF FORM 49 INCIDENT REPORT

This was saved from the AF FORM 49 Incident Report filed on the below incident.

At approximately 0200 hours, 5 December 1964, I, A1C Jacheski, Larry J. AF-00000000, was performing duty as Access Controller on the gate at the entrance to Alert Area #2. Suddenly I was viciously attacked by a beastly little creature commonly known as a fly. Without warning or any apparent aspiration, he began to buzz savagely around my head and shoulders. At various intervals he would light upon my head or neck and menacingly walk around. After several attempts with my hand to alleviate the present problem, the obnoxious pest, I decided such a method or retaliation was terribly inadequate. “My tactics must improve”, I told himself. I remember a saying which I’ve been told is of philosophical origin. “Patients is Golden”. I waited for minutes, which seemed like hours, for the fly to land upon a solid object. The time passed slowly and frustration began to creep into this agonizing wait. Finally the fly landed upon the window. With the cunning of a fox and the movements line those of a cat, I slowly moved towards my adversary. My desire to destroy this creature was sublimate into the subtle movement of my hand. At last, my hand was in the position for the most advantageous strike. With the force of a raging river and the speed of Mercury, I delivered my disastrous blow. Surely, fate makes games at time because the life of the fly was spared and I the “executioner” shattered the window.

UNDER PAID JOB DESCRIPTION

"We as Air Policeman were under paid by this job description---"

Everyone talks about electronics and maintenance men as being hard to get, train and keep. If a true and unbiased survey was taken of all Air Police, I would wager that 70 percent would fail to fulfill the requirements of “AFM” 35-1 for assignment to that career field. Since the establishment of the air force Air Police standards have always been waivered to full quotas, why doesn’t someone do something to retain the “qualified and trained?”

Let’s look at some of the standards and requirements the Air Force has levied on the average Air Policeman. This man is required to have the physical profile of a Hercules, the strength and stamina of an elephant, the courage of a lion, the alacrity of an antelope, the dexterity of a prizefighter, immunity to cold, heat and disease, the morals of a saint, appearance of an Apollo, hypersensitive perception, no physiological need for praise, recognition or time off, and the mental capicity of Einstein.

He must be grammarian, a typist, radio technician, vehicle operator, expert marksman, judo expert, information consultant, investigator, safety engineer, expert on military protocol, guard, construction technician, protector of the payroll, the food, the water, the trucks, the clubs, the AFEX, the airplanes and all the other supporting equipment.

He must be able to read, write, interpret and execute plans for any type of military activity, from lowering the national colors so that the flag is down on the last note of the music to opening the door at the headquarters when the VIP guests arrives, or in giving the final signal for aircraft.

He must be enthusiastic about every task, no matter how menial, from dogcatcher, door shaking, or standing in the rain, sleet or snow, to helping pre-flight and load or refuel aircraft, starting ground power units, removing stabelizer pins, clearing the taxiway and runways, and removing launch barriers. He must have the leadership ability commonly found only in field grade officer rank, for he will be called upon to supervise more men directly than any other individual in the military sturcture, and he must be willing to apply this ability daily, with only token remuneration-being principally patriotic satisfaction. He is his “brothers keeper” and possesses traits which no other AFSC in the Air Force dare mention.

Above all, he is the representive of the American people, the President of the United States, the United States Air Force and the local commander. His apprearance must be immaculate and his actions reflect upon all in the service. His judgement must be above reproach and unquestionable. Yet the Air Force feels that this man can be replaced at the drop of a hat.

The government spends more money, time and effort on security than any other area, and the Air Force feels this man does not deserve pro-pay, hazardous duty pay, special bonus pay or just a plain extra stripe during the next promotion cycle. Is the Air Force overlooking one-minute detail? All the training a pilot, maintenance and electronic man recieves isn’t worth two peas in the pot if that aircraft and/or missle is not ready and available for take off when the time comes.

This man is the first line of defense, the first man subject to hostile attack, and above all others this sole individual has been entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding an Air Force installation. What other career field designates this responsibility to a three level a3c? What other career field requires their NCO’s to uphold field grade officer standards?

I leave the decision up to you whether or not we deserve recognition.
Signed:
A proud underpaid Air Policeman
