As the Treasurer for the Billie Renfro Chapter of the AFSFA, I would like to welcome y’all to COWTOWN and the 39th Air Force Security Forces Association Annual Meeting in Fort Worth, Texas!
I am so pleased to be able to share with you some great sites that all visitors to the city must see along with area shopping, museums, and a few extras! Fort Worth won my heart in the late 90’s and I have called the area home for 22 years now. Fort Worth isn’t huge but getting around to the great places will take 20- 30 minutes most drives. We all know August is our hottest month so start hydrating now for the fun ahead, we are all cops so you know the program!
#1 The first must see and at the top of the list is the Historic Fort Worth Stockyards. Fort Worth is where the West begins. Western heritage embodies the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. Go enjoy the original brick walkways, the wooden corrals, take a picture on a longhorn, have a drink at one of the many saloons, grab some BBQ or a great steak, shop for your western attire, or just buy a great souvenir at the many shops. Don’t miss the cattle drive with the Fort Worth Herd twice daily, right down the center of the street at 11:30am and 4:00pm!

Air Force Security Forces
WASHINGTON –
Defenders,
The Air Force once again finds itself at a critical juncture—an era of Great Power Competition (GPC) marked by a new security environment, a rapidly evolving character of war, and a formidable competitor. This new era requires understanding its challenges and the attributes needed to succeed. Embracing change is not a choice; it is a necessity. The Air Force is reoptimizing for high-end conflicts and long-term strategic competition.
This task is not new for the Security Forces career field – to be fully supporting our Air Force and Space Force operations of today, while also looking ahead at how we organize, train, and equip for the future. The Air Force focus on GPC coincides with several Defender modernization efforts that have been years in the making. We cannot rest only on these efforts coming online today; we must also look ahead at what we must set into motion for future needs. Looking ahead, the Air Force Security Forces Directorate is currently working on how we deploy, including deployment models and training; we are evaluating what weapons we deploy and the full fielding of the joint light tactical vehicle; we are investing in training to ensure that Defenders are capable and ready; and we are adapting for counter small unmanned aerial systems (C-sUAS).
