Force Protection / Air Police. The Belgian Auxiliary Air Police Service (BAAPS) was established in April 1945. BAAPS I was assigned to the 9th Air Force of the United States Army, and BAAPS II (separated to the 2nd Tactical Air Force of the Royal Air Force). After World War II, they were renamed the Military Air Police and Guard. In 1948, these forces were renamed the Defense and Police Unit, and after deactivation, they became the nucleus of the Air Commandos and Air Force Police. The Airfield Defense Units (Unités de Défense des Aérodromes - UDA) were created in 1951, and the Air Commandos in 1953. They became the Installation Protection Units (Unités de Protection des Installations - IBE). In 1987, the Air Commandos recognized three levels of qualification: Air Fusilier, Air Commando, and Air Commando with a “higher certificate.” Between 1988 and 1990, there was a short-lived intervention squadron. Since 2010, the security forces have been formally designated as “Force Protection and Strike Security,” but they are still commonly known as Air Commandos.
