Created in 2005 as “Request for Forces” in agreement between USAF and U.S. Army to add the manpower the Army needed in Iraq. Initially named RFF #619, before eventually renamed to 732nd ESFS. The squadron had six detachments. Each detachment was assigned under a command of Army Military Police units. Each detachments had varying missions/roles but they include combat patrols in insurgent-heavy regions, visit Iraqi Police substations to restore their confidence, or part of Police Transition Team. The 732nd ESFS was deactivated in 2010. The squadron had multiple awards and few casualties. Read more about the squadron here: www.usafpolice.org/732-esfsdetachment-23.html
