Special Reaction Teams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In anticipation of possible terrorist attacks against US Marine Corps, Army and Navy installations, many military bases have formed Special Reaction Teams (SRTs). These are similar in mission and composition to civilian SWAT teams, and respond to situations as varied as hostage rescue, counter-sniper actions, VIP protection, and counterterrorism.

A Special Reaction Team is composed of seasoned Military Police who have received training for high-risk situations (eg. high risk warrants, hostage situations, baricaded suspects). They are a D.O.D. equivalent to a S.W.A.T. and often attend the same schools for training.
