Showing locations, USAFSS unit identifiers and inclusive years of assignment, the USAFSS Unit Locations list above is an excerpt from Freedom Through Vigilance. Appendix B of each volume of the book is a 20-page list of worldwide locations-Location, Unit Identifier and Inclusive Dates-at which Air Force Security Service units served. Created by Air Force Security Service (or Electronic Security Command) Headquarters from official records about 1979, the USAFSS Unit Locations List should be invaluable to Security Service veterans desiring to refresh their memories regarding locations/units in which they served during the period 1948-1979. The units shown in the list are valid, albeit the list is not all inclusive. For example, many of the early detachments created overseas by radio squadrons mobile in the early 1950's are not on the list, perhaps because copies of special orders activating those units may not have found their way to the USAFSS HQ archives used to create the list. Our sincere thanks to retired USAFSS Major Frank Clark, who provided the unclassified list that he had obtained from the command history office shortly before he retired in 1980.
