If it refers to XV Sqn, maybe “Third Division Squadron”😏
Timelord and Mainjafad,

You're both on the right track, specifically, TDS 6 had to prepare to evacuate alongside 'Detachment 5' in the event of hostilities. This was at Laarbruch circa 1961. Detachment 5 was the USAF maintenance unit, I think. I'm wondering if TDS 6 was the USAF security detachment, ie, Tactical Deployment Security? This was in connection with the B7 bombs carried by the Canberras?
