You are describing what I experienced from 1971-1978 in the USAF _ we
had
"Air Police" - basically military police backing up the "Security
Police"
- the infamous 'rivet counters' guards of the SAC aircraft at out ATC
base...  1)I can't say it was that divided AF wide because we had SAC as
a tenant unit and they always did things the "SAC" way (I will *not*
tell
all those old jibes/jokes...) and 2) It was Conus - don't know how they
operated a)Overseas and b)Vietnam specifically.

As for OSI types (Office of Special Investigations - well nobody ion the
hospital liked dealing with them anytime so I have no knowledge at all
other then they existed and they had a bad relationship with our
Squadron...  Not all their fault I assure you.

Prisoner breakout attempts (like have happened in recent weeks in
Pakistan and Afghanistan) would be opponent dependent I expect...
