  • You know Im not bashing anybody but Im getting kinda tired of hearing people say "the enemies arent the citizens of the country" the truth is we need a good homeland fighting force because there are people who live in this country that have nothing but evil intentions for american citizens and we need people like SWAT and the FBI HRT to protect us when the bad guys threaten our way of life if every US man was in the military overseas there would be nobody to protect the the citizens back home.

  • Kick ass much respect.

    Christopher Koplitz KT HKtB

  • I'm a bit baffled by what I'm seeing. These guys are FBI - so part of a federal law-enforcement agency - but some of their gear and dress looks very military. And I've also heard that they sometimes operate on foreign soil. Do they ever engage in open warfare like the Army and Marines, or do they tend to do more of the kicking-down-doors-and-shootin­g-the-terrorists type of missions?

  • @TorturedXeno I wonder if somebody can actually be trained to fight and survive in a battlefield without actually having gone through military training. That's part of why I'm curious as to what sorts of operations these people carry out abroad, 'cause I'm sure you won't see them getting in huge firefights in Iraq alongside the soldiers... or will you?

    Someone who knows more, please enlighten me!

  • @TorturedXeno Hostage Rescue Team. They don't go into open warfare like the Marines or Army. The reason that their gear is "military like" is because they have to be fully armed and protected for what they do. They're basically the federal-level SWAT.

  • @Recon2146 So what do these gentlemen do when they're doing missions abroad? And I think in another video, it talks about HRT and special operations forces working together. So what sort of missions do they embark on when not on domestic soil?

  • @TorturedXeno Couldn't say. I do know that they do work with special operations, but that's all I know. You could check out the FBI website. Go to google and type in FBI hostage rescue team, and it should be the second link to pop up. You might be able to find some of your answers there.

  • PT TIME!!!

  • looks intense im interested

    im gonna hopefully becom an airforce combat controller or Tactical air control party

    put in the 3 years required for fbi hrt and hopefully be selected to train to become fbi hostage rescue

    becuase beside domestic ops and hostage rescue they work with delta force SAS JTF2 SEALS and other special ops around the world for worldwide operations

  • DO A WEB SEARCH ON:

    charles h. miranda OR:

    charlesthepoet2003

    THANKS.

  • HRT Snipers receive training from Marine Snipers. HRT operatives receive training from Delta Force for about a month or so at the kill house. The Maritime division of HRT receives instruction from DEVGRU or Navy SEAL's. They joint train with the Yamam, GSG-9, GIGN, ect.. Plus the investigative skills to preserve evidence if need be, these guys are exceptionally trained. Remember, HRT was solely created because DELTA can no operate in the States. They are CT and not just HR.

  • @kicks92738

    Well, Delta and the like *can* operate inside the country, but there's a ridiculous amount of red tape involved in deploying them.

  • @JasonRedfield

    Thats why the help train and over see the HRT during operations. :)

  • @kicks92738

    Oh yeah, that's a given. I was just pointing out that under the right circumstances, Delta can actually actively operate inside the U.S.

  • @JasonRedfield

    Which makes sense, but it would have to be a very serious threat, correct? Then again, we hope the HRT and even the National Guard could handle the threat.

  • @kicks92738

    Yep. It would have to be a situation where Posse Comitatus gets waived. Either the Insurrection Act gets used (as with the Rodney King Riots) or the Attorney General directly asks the Secretary of Defense for assistance.

    So I imagine it'd be something along the lines of a major terrorist attack, where law enforcement was woefully inadequate to deal with the situation. Either that and/or the addition of a nuclear, biological, or chemical weapon/emergency.

  • @JasonRedfield Yeah Delta provided security during The Seattle WTO conference in 1999

  • @historyman9

    If I'm not mistaken, they served as more of an advisory role. I don't think they actually went in fully-equipped and guarded the place like you would see law enforcement doing. Military special ops units advising law enforcement in a noncombatant manner is not nearly as restricted and as such is much more common.

  • wow these guys are going at it, remember the enemy is not here, the enemy are those that point a gun at our pride, which is America.

  • Where is the footage of the Vicki Weaver kill?

  • its funny how im only infantry nothing special but i can see a few things they did wrong or suck at... just sayin

  • IF ANYONE HERE IS ACTUALLY IN OR EX-HRT COULD YOU PLEASE PM ME? Thanks

  • @specialforces69 then how much would be the tuition fee?

  • would be fun if they would put house clearing on call of duty online :P

  • the majority of these guys are green berets, rangers, seals delta and marine recon..the FBI has a tacticle training recruiting program that goes to the oda's and ranger bats and recruit them so they have a career set up outside the military

  • Those are some bad ass accountants ;)

  • Marines are better

  • This would have to be the toughest unit to get into in the whole world...namely because becoming an FBI agent (let alone getting into the FBI itself) is extremely demanding and time consuming, as opposed to becoming a soldier or Marine.

    Outside of the special forces, these people have to be the best paramilitary CT unit in the world.

  • These guys are the marines of law enforcement

  • @DonDmoney95 More like the Delta Force/SEAL DEVGRU of law enforcement... SWAT would be more like the Marines of law enforcement.

  • F.B.I. is genious

  • can't wait till i go to highschool and graduate to college and graduate from collage and be a fbi hrt..... better practice by playing paintball i guess.......

  • @NikLagua Well, in HRT, there are many requirements to be even nominated to take in the selection. I dont think paintball is one of them. Anyways, just look at the FBI website and glance at the requirements.

  • @TokyoKid47 i meant using paintball as a shooting scenario against whatever since i cant use firearms yet...

  • Comment removed

  • It's not like they get to see any action. Train train and no action lol

  • @tjohn1986 And you know this how?

  • @wafflecushioned It would make the news

  • @tjohn1986 They also work overseas with special operations forces. We don't know half of what they're doing.

  • @wafflecushioned They don't. Despite what wikipedia tells you

  • @tjohn1986 I didn't read that on wikipedia.

  • @wafflecushioned Or wherever on the internet you read it at

  • @tjohn1986 I didn't read it anywhere on the internet.

  • @wafflecushioned Then who told you they deploy?

  • @tjohn1986 You see, when I say they deploy overseas, you assume I'm saying that they are going to Iraq or Afghanistan. I have an uncle in the FBI who tells us these things. I don't see any reason to suspect why he would be lying. I know you're going to say, "Who gives a shit if your uncle is in the FBI?" Well then I won't have anything left to say to you to convince you.

  • I love their Shoulder patch.

  • noobS! Para-jumpers pwn these.

  • @neverblameme PJ's pawn them at what? Hostage Rescue and high risk SWAT scenarios?? Doubt it, maybe at rescuing downed airmen or performing CSAR and CASEVAC. All units have their specialities.

  • @neverblameme Wow, don't be fucking retarded. You obviously don't know ANYTHING about the military.

  • Lastly, you're not going to achieve this goal by surfing around on youtube or TALKING about how much you want this. Get your ass off youtube and look at the FBI's website and talk to people who KNOW the subject matter. Finally, once your confident in the steps you need to go through, put your soda pop down and go do some PT! This is the best advice I can give you.

  • @msalak87 i agree 100% man.

  • @msalak87 and dont forget to hit the books because these guys need to be booksmart...they dont look for a hulk hogan they want a smart dude.their training is 10 percent physical and 90 percent mental

  • @msalak87

    thats one of the best advices i have ever read

  • @msalak87 ahaha ..you dont get in the bureau with the sole reason of joining the HRT like you dont get in the army with the sole reason of joining delta

    You need to have SF/Many years in your local SWAT department experience to join HRT

  • First off I will say I am un educated on HRT's hiring process. That being said I can tell you what they are looking for. They are looking for someone who is intelligent, physically dominant, and a quick learner. Like any special unit in the world being a muscle head won't save your ass. The fact is everyone wants to do this job and they do not have to settle for crap. I'm sure many evals will be done on the actual person and not just looking at their background.

  • @msalak87 Read Chris Whitcomb's book "Cold Zero". In one chapter he's pretty clear and concise about what it takes to get into HRT, selection, and training.

  • @ffryan I'll have to take a look at it. I'm always interested in learning about other agencies.

  • @msalak87 It's a good read. I got the hardcover for just a few dollars on amazon. It's a pretty good look at a unit that there really isn't a whole lot in print about. He was involved in some pretty high profile things, so it's interesting to see what one of the shooters thinks, not just the politicians we see on CNN.

  • @ffryan yea the exerpt I read seems interesting and familiar. Looks like I might enjoy this book.

  • @msalak87 Cheers mate.

  • badass mofos! Read "Cold Zero" it is a great book about FBI HRT

  • Delta and Devgru should be doing this. Not a police unit. And yea I know many of these operators are former Delta/Devgru.

  • @tmddog I think it has been constitutional concerns and controversy over Delta operatives being used against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil which lead to the formation of the unit in the 1st place..e.g. Waco Texas. I could be wrong but that's my understanding of it.

  • @tmddog

    Delta and DEVGRU are for international usage.

  • @tmddog US military cant operate on US soil bro

  • @tmddog

    What a stupid thing to say... Delta and Ghosts have a job to do overseas...that's why the HRT operates in the U.S. That's why the unit was created.

  • @TooLateTomorrow So you know the Ghost's aren't real. Their a Fictional Special Forces Unit made up by Tom Clancy.

  • @HopefulxFrogman Actually, that's not true. They were used in D-Day, they're a group that makes an illussion for the enemy. Not quite as exciting as GRAW, though.

  • @TooLateTomorrow What a stupid thing to say Ghosts are not real...stop playing video games

  • @TooLateTomorrow Don't know about HRT specifically, but FBI Agents are deployed OCONUS on a regular basis, in conjunction with military, SOF/ODAs, CIA, DIA, NGA, NGIC, and various other defense/intelligence/LE organizations. Most recently, a team of FBI Agents were dispatched to Nigeria, to assist their police with investigation of the terrorist bombing they suffered.

  • @TooLateTomorrow The Ghosts aren't real.

  • sorry but at 1:05 they'd get shot... rofl

  • @Vantzyourule

    have you ever been in a room where the windows explode?????

  • @shootingman99 honestly , yes.

  • whats the average age of these guys? im guessing 30s? like Delta?

  • @marleynrs8 around mid 20's actually .

  • @marleynrs8 You're right, very late 20s in rare cases, mostly 30s, some 40s. The cutoff for application is likely 36, with some extensions given for extraordinary cases. At the low end, figure somebody who enlisted at 18 spent at least 6 years in military to get the relevant experience, likely 10 or 12.

  • @silvermediastudio i see. i believe the FBI HRT should be its own program seperate from the Special Agent one, as in a closed loop where one could spend their entire career. but that would make too much sense....

  • @marleynrs8 I realize you posted this comment 7 months ago but I just found this video. and yea late 20's early 30's. Because they have to have at least a bachelors degree and 4 years military service or 6 years in local law enforcement.

  • @wangwee3 in my opinion, the Bachelors requirement is stupid. why? because officers are not operators, and enlisted are the small unit level tactical experts. so why should a college kid with no real life experience be preferred over a Ranger/SEAL/SF guy who enlisted straight out of high school? now, they would meet the requirements if they went to college and then became a Ranger/SEAL/SF/etc., but the all the bachelors did was keep them from 4 years they could have been deploying downrange.

  • @marleynrs8 1'st SFOD-D and the other Military Special Forces teams are far more elite than these guys..

  • @SmokeyCough i mean, i wouldn't compare them due to the different mission sets and purposes.

  • @SmokeyCough If you were SF or Spec Ops in any of the uniformed services, HRT is more likely to take you in the first place. So i'm guessing, since the roles of HRT are the same as Delta, SF and other SOF units, HRT is just as elite if not more so.

  • @SmokeyCough Your an idiot,they train together,along with the Navy's DEVGRU. SFOD-D also allow's HRT full use of it's killhouses and facilities their practically the exact same thing except one is primarily domestic and one isn't. Learn your facts.

  • @AgentSpiral "Your an idiot"? Lol, really? Your grammar says otherwise.

  • @SmokeyCough Okay, I messed up on a sentence?You still don't have the slightest clue what your talking about when regarding the HRT,so don't try to play it off by pointing out a grammar error.

  • @AgentSpiral I'm not 'playing' anything off. I'm pointing out your stupid statement.

  • @SmokeyCough Ok buddy sure. Get a life and maybe one day you can stop pestering people on youtube.

  • @marleynrs8 this comment is a year late so im not sure if you had your answer answered alreayd but to join teh FBI you must be no older than 37. Im not sure about how young u can be but judging on seeing you have to have a bachelor degree and 2 years of experience with the law. ide say the youngest you can be woulkd be 24

  • @Nonlethal106 yeah thats true. plus i'd assume the majority of them have at least 4 years military experience.

  • @marleynrs8

    Probably. I imagine it's late 20s at the youngest.

  • Even though special op skills is needed there is certain degree they prefer example let's say the FBI had to choose a guy who was a navy seal and another guy who was a marine, they will choose the seal,

    But if you join the seals for FBI, you won't make

  • Most of the shooter's in HRT are all former Spec Ops SEALs, Ranger's, Green Beret's, Recon Division/Force Recon, PJ/CCT. But they do allow some regular FBI Agents to attend selection but the Spec Ops guys r the ones that usually make it

  • How they do it in the big leagues. lol

  • I like this teams very much. You can tell this is an video demand action cause they made some basic mistakes and I don't think these guys would do that on real or even normal training exercise.

    Never the less, they are good. God bless and stay safe

  • @jdavidreis

    Yeah, unfortunatley for us civvie war junkies, you can never expect the best during a camera friendly exercise.

  • everything you need to know about the requirements to be in this are below...and yes you do NEED a bachelors in criminal justice to be in any form of federal law enfrocement

  • @Fcfkyle88 The experience part, you're right. The Crim Justice degree to be in federal LE, not true.

  • Military Experience – Navy

    Must have served in the Naval Special Warfare Community as a SEAL or Naval Special Warfare Officer.

    Military Experience – Marine Corps

    Combat Arms experience.

    Military Experience – Air Force

    Must have served in Combat Controller, Combat Rescue (Pararescue), or Tactical Air Control Party fields.

  • - Completion of continuing education courses in at least three of the following: Basic SWAT • Advanced SWAT • Hostage Rescue • High Risk Arrest • Barricaded Subject • Basic Sniper/Observer • Advanced Sniper/Observer • Tactical Firearms • Mechanical Breaching

    Military Experience – Army

    Combat Arms experience. Service in Special Forces Group or Ranger Regiment will carry more weight.

  • Must have at least 3 years of tactical experience in either law enforcement or the military.

    Law Enforcement Experience:

    With a Federal Agency tactical team (This category includes all Military Police.).

    Or with a Local/County/State Agency or Department tactical team.

    - Full-time tactical team experience will carry more weight than part-time experience.

  • @MaskedRabbitII Candidates for the position of FBI Special Agent must possess a four-year college degree and three years of professional work experience; be available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's jurisdiction; be between the ages of 23 and 36; be in excellent physical condition with the ability to pass a rigorous physical fitness test; and consent to a complete background investigation, drug test, and polygraph. HRT Operators are Special Agents first

  • I hope someday i can be a part of FBI's elite unit although im a Pinoy :) Godbless to all

  • The HRT is one elite unit, afterall, they were formed by SEALS. I personally know the two guys who started it all, and they were among the best-of-the best. They were members of the USN SpecOps Unit which my father commanded, and they were EXTREMELY impressive as both Unit members, and friends. I have also been to Quantico on a few occasions myself, and I was very impressed. Keep up the great work guys!!! Hooyah!

  • @GUMMYBEAYUH what is specOps and seals? :D

  • @Ninjajohn9123 Special Operations are special forces that do special things. Seals are animals that like to swim and lay on the beach all day. Lolololol.

  • @Ninjajohn9123 As defined now-a-days, SpecOps in the USN is composed of unique assignments/ratings that are involved in Special Operations, but do not necessarily fall under Special Warfare Command. SEALs are Special Warfare Operators, & they represent a specific rating within SpecWar (SWCC, or the "Boat Guys", are the other Special Warfare aspect). Before the late 1980's when SPECWARCOM was first formed, ALL individuals involved in SpecOps were referred to simply as "Special Operations".

  • @GUMMYBEAYUH You are a Class A bullshit artist, that's about it.

  • @GUMMYBEAYUH

    Yeah right. USN Spec Ops? What? Were they SEALs, EOD, or part of a delivery team? And how old are you?

  • @BazeBaller1 SEALs & EOD assigned to each unit, & they all worked under group command. I don't know if it's the same now, since this was before SOCOM was even in existence, but the last I heard that's the way they worked it (SEALs still had their own teams, but individuals were selected to serve in the aforementioned). I referred to it as Special Operations since there wasn't even a Special Warfare Command until the later years. Also, the USN still performs Special Operations outside of SpecWar.

  • gonna become one

  • @TheMudbug15 Good luck with that.

  • being in the marines in one of the most life changing in the world. If you really want to join the marines and you feel like its a calling then go for it.

  • @specialforces69 i would like to be in the marines but i am just not sure i would cut it in the physical parts cause i hear it gets real intense.

  • nah dude, unless you're a complete useless tub of fat who's never moved faster than a slow walk, it's not difficult.

    of course, if you are as stated above, it'll be hard, but even then only if you're not tough minded. the physical part the marines can fix; the heart is what they really look for.

    and if you do make it through such a tough experience, you'll be prouder than you've ever been.

  • @oldfrend lol lets pu ti tthis way. i may not be the fattest guy around but i am not the skinniest. bout in the middle. but they all tell i can run when pressed.

  • @MonsterMotoxx the thing to remember is that they'll make a marine out of you, but only if you're willing to make a Marine out of yourself. do what i do when faced with a challenge - become angry that you can't do it, and then learn to do it. because the physical requirements for marine boot camp are well within reach of pretty much any human being. you just have to see it as your right, not a challenge, to be that tough.

  • @oldfrend good point. i guess i really have to start working out more often. and run a bit more.

  • @specialforces69 yeah thanks a lot y dad is sorta against joinin the army but he ould be secretly really pleased. he thinks that the risk of gettin shot goes up. but i did tell him intelligence dosen't really get shot at to much.

  • @specialforces69 lol yeah but i was thinkin u mean't some sort of combat intelligence like in the field. but yeah i was thinkin about naval intelleigece in the first place

  • how about somethin like cryptology in the navy? would that count as an intelligence field?

  • UP THE IRONS!

  • For anyone who is asking

    HRT requires that you become a Special Agent for a special agent it is a minimum of 2 years to be eligible.

    4 Year bachelors is also required.

    Tactical Recruiting Program in the FBI will erase the 2 year minimum, you have to have had 3 years law enforcement/military experience but still have to become a special agent 1st.

    Military Exp. only counts if it is a MOS containing weapon/tactic use, like a Navy Seal compared to a Navy Cook lol.

  • now im going to a highschool which specializes int his strand...homeland security..i will be studying law, criminology, psychology and lots more..i want to work for the FBI. there fore i will try to get a job with the police, try get into SWAT and finish college with a 4 year bachelors. then apply for FBI, after being special agent, ill try to get into the BAU and then HRT. does it sound like a good plan to get in?

  • become an intelligence specialist in the marines?

  • is there a terrorist school out there?

  • I'd like to become a member of the hostage rescue team in the future. Are there any certain collages I have to go to or degrees I have to get to become one?

  • @zirathekillerlioness Exact details on college im not sure on since I am looking into one as well but any that would normally get you into the FBI. Also military could be highly recommended, you need special forces training however.

  • i wonder? is good eyesight a requierment.

  • probably

  • well. shoot that kinda dashes my hopes but no sweat. u can still get action in the army. probably more and better

  • To currahee03 (or anyone who knows):

    Do spec ops forces also need to do the 3 years as an agent to apply?

  • my dad is in this video 3 times

  • i have been in most of those buidings in my videos of me shooting u can see then in the backround

  • I live for this shit!

  • Currahee

    Four years and very good opionion from your chief

  • how can you join HRT

  • I'm pretty sure you need at least 3 years in the FBI as an agent before you can qualify to try out for HRT. HRT does tend to choose members with advanced military combat unit training, such as Army Rangers, Air Force PJ's, Marine Corp Recon, and Navy SEALS.

  • You need to be a special agent first. thats the hard part just getting into the FBI.

  • ummm you go to there website and look for apply job, go type FBI in google and scroll down and you will see apply for job on the left bottom
