ROCK SOLID WARRIOR

  • 387th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron
Senior Airman Britnee R. Mitchell

Job: Days Flight Security Forces Leader 

Home unit/base: 30th Security Forces Squadron, Vandenberg AFB, Lompoc, Calif.

How do you support the mission here? "I provide security for the busiest aerial port of debarkation in the AOR.  My primary duties are to provide secure entry and exit through the U.S. and coalition compound." 

How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? "This is actually my first deployment. It's unique because I've never deployed before, but yet it allows me to experience new cultures and understand more about what we're fighting for." 

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? "At Vandenberg, I provide both law enforcement and security in support of U.S. Space Systems. Here I provide security strictly for the fight against terrorism and the protection of personnel and property. Either way, this is what I joined the Air Force for to see the world and fight for my country."
