Can someone explain what a "light force" is? Thanks.

As I understand it, a Light Force is the ladder company. LAFD ladder companies are two piece companies, a Truck with a dedicated Pump, therefore they untilize the term Light Force. When both the Ladder and Engine respond from the same station (1 ladder and 2 engines) it is called a Task Force.
Check out [url="http://www.code2high.com/faq.htm"]code2high.com[/url] there is a good explanation there along with some other terms.
