From a 23rd Air Wing news release dated 8 October 2010 and headlined Moody AFB:

" The 820th Security Forces Group was renamed on Oct. 1 to better represent the mission the group fulfills. The group is now the 820th Base Defense Group, reflecting their mission to provide rapidly deployable, integrated defense capabilities in a volatile environment. The group's mission has been the same since the Vietnam War when the need for this type of unit was first recognized.
