RFF 619

'RFF 619' (Request for Forces 619) was an Air Force "in-lieu of forces" agreement with the Army to send a squadron of United Stated Air Force Security Forces to support Police Transition Teams in Baghdad, Iraq (June-December 2006). In Baghdad, RFF 619 was renamed 732nd Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron's Detachment 7.
A majority of the members and the core leadership originated from the 824th Security Forces Squadron, Moody AFB, Georgia. Other airmen from 204th Security Forces Squadron El Paso, Texas and the 23rd Security Forces Squadron, Moody AFB augmented the 824th SFS.
Additionally Det-7 included several Air Force medics, communications techs, IT specialists, administration personnel, CATM, and an intelligence team.
In late 2006 several music videos were released depicting Det-7 in Baghdad. The videos were posted on Myspace but were removed at the request of the Air Force.
