Not your average wingman
Every day as the sun rises above the horizon, Yokota Air Base's defenders are already hard at work keeping the base safe. Their day begins when they are assigned a patrol car, protective equipment and their partner. Just like in civilian law enforcement, military patrolmen place their lives in their partner's hands, forging bonds of trust and respect.

The credit for pushing gangs off of "military city's" streets goes to the San Antonio Police Department Gang Unit, and to one Laughlin AFB Airman.
