In October 2023, leaders replaced the Security Forces Apprentice Course with the Basic Defender Course – a tactical change more suited to contend with the global threat environment. The most significant change includes the removal of law enforcement focused objectives, prioritizing a more substantial emphasis on air base ground defense. The enhanced curriculum integrates advanced training modules that challenge cognitive abilities, decision-making under pressure and strategic thinking. It’s a deliberate move by security forces leaders to ensure the multi-capable Airmen can quickly adapt to the rapidly changing landscape of security threats. (U.S. Air Force video by Jonathan Cotto)
