Defender for a Day: Valor Chief Visits 20th Security Forces Squadron

U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Christopher Griste, 20th Fighter Wing command chief, left, speaks with 20th Security Forces Squadron defenders during their guardmount as part of Griste’s immersion tour of the squadron at Shaw Air Force Base, South Carolina, Jan. 22, 2026. Guardmount is a formation that occurs prior to the beginning of a new security forces shift. The formation is designed to verify that each defender assigned to the shift is ready to protect the installation and to ensure pertinent information is passed down from unit leaders to the defenders.
