What is the differenece between Air Force SF and SP?
They are the same thing. SP (Security Police) is the old name for them...SF (Security Forces) is the new name.
Reply:To build on Jurazon's answer, you would deploy as SF. Their primary purpose in life is protecting their aircraft and airfields from threats. An additional mission that goes along with that is force protection of the FOBs on which the airfields are located.





You actually see "combat" in every MOS. It's doing your job in a combat zone. Sometimes it's nearly identical to being in the states, with the chance of some sort of indirect fire death tacked on. "Combat" is often confused with "direct fire ground combat". As far as direct fire ground combat, it's possible in this MOS. With that being said, it's not the infantry; enlisting in the infantry is one of the only ways you can virtually guarantee being in gunfights, if that's what you want.
Reply:Security Forces is the name for the combination of Security Police - Security and Law Enforcement.





Security Police was the General Title of all Security and Law Enforcement.





Security Forces is the new, more descriptive name.





And yes, SF sees combat. Male or Female, a Cop is a Cop.





A better bunch of people you will never meet!!
