Why is security MY job?
By TSgt Charles Matthews,
35th Security Police Squadron
At the height of the Cold War, anybody suggesting the fall of the
Berlin Wall certainly wouldn’t have been taken seriously. Yet, we
come.
Since then, one of the biggest challenges security planners face is
defining the threat. You can never underestimate the importance of
the threat, because it mainly determines resource allocation in the
security arena, particularly during wartime. Peacetime threats are
normally transient in nature, localized and difficult to identify.
Where is today’s threat? Uncertainty in the world situation is
probably our biggest external threat, but it’s not our only one. It’s sad
to say, but today’s dynamic Air Force faces an internal threat we all
need to be aware of. Headquarters, Air Combat Command, reports an
increasing number of incidents occurring on flightlines throughout
the Air Force. Surprisingly, a majority of these incidents occur within
the continental United States, with at least 24 percent of the damage
done by insiders, i.e. US AF personnel. A quarter of these incidents
resulted in damage exceeding $100,000, and 80 percent of all inci-
dents were not discovered until after they occurred We simply can’t
afford the cost nor the damage to our combat capability:

security forces discovered damage to the wing commander’s aircraft.
It was certainly a low emotional point in my career when I realized our
wing was tasked to deploy in a major air campaign, and the Wing
Commander couldn’t take his aircraft. (Does “Accomplish the
mission” ring a bell?) This particular incident cost the taxpayers well
over $500,000.
Increased spending on security is rarely a fiscal possibility and is
not usually the best solution. The only way to keep our aircraft
combat capable is through better security awareness, a responsibility
we all share.
