no worries, it's for the greater good
There are very few "soldiers" at Buckley, and if anyone is going to be at the DUI checkpoint, it with be USAF SPs (maybe OSI), security police for all of you who gave it a shot and missed.
Posse Comitatus does NOT stop SPs from being involved in the DUI checkpoint. It stops active duty military from enforcing civilian law. As I read it, they will be there to enforce military law on active military personnel. This is not a violation of pussy comeandgetus. They just get involved once a drunk is identified as active military. Every joint effort I worked over the years, what the military could and couldn't do was discussed prior to the operation with both the military and civilians usually by a JAG or based on a JAGs review of the op.
So, you can calm down. We aren't in Russia yet.
Air Force military police are called Security Forces or SF for short. I am not sure who uses the SP acronym.Quote:

Damn, now I have to go put that in...Quote:

There is a Special Forces unit there, a medical command, a military intelligence unit, two aviation units and CERF-P (CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package. They are the second tier response forces for incidents involving WMD IN THE HOMELAND). These are all Colorado ARMY National Guard units. These units have a higher number of full timers than do "regular" NG units. Now, for the Colorado AIR National Guard...you got me.Quote:
