Air Force law enforcement types ( formerly sky cops and security police) now go by the moniker, Security Forces. The brassards that they wear are labeled "SF". They also wear the black beret (started when the Rangers were still wearing them). I believe that is what was being referenced above.
I believe that this is another example of an identity crisis among the enlisted in the Air Force. Another example being the SERE instructors wearing a green beret. The service is based around officer pilots with the majority of enlisted in support roles. With a few exceptions ( PJ, Combat Controller, TAC-P ) there are not very many prestigious jobs ( akin to Special Forces, Rangers, WO Pilots ), and very little history. I see this as an attempt to fill that gap.
That my .02 Baht anyway.
