FBI HRT training video - 1

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), part of the Tactical Support Branch of CIRG, is a full time, national-level tactical team, headquarted in Quantico, Virginia. The mission of the HRT is to be prepared to deploy to any location within four hours of notification by the Director of the FBI or his designated representative, and conduct a successful rescue of United States persons and others who may be held illegally by a hostile force, either terrorist or criminal in nature. The HRT is also prepared to deploy to any location and perform other law enforcement activities as directed by appropriate authorities.

The HRT operationally deploys in support of FBI field divisions and performs a number of law enforcement tactical functions in all environments and under a variety of conditions. In its 17 year history, the team, or components of the team, have deployed on over 200 occasions in support of FBI terrorism, violent criminal, foreign counter-intelligence and other investigations. HRT has performed missions involving hostage rescue, barricaded subjects, high-risk arrest and warrant service (raids), and dive search. Additionally, the HRT has performed traditional law enforcement roles during hurricane relief operations, dignitary protection missions, tactical surveys, and on occasion, pre-positions in support of special events such as the Olympic Games, presidential inaugurations, and political conventions.

[MH6M]

@teenfitness4U In suopport roles yes. But not in a combat role. But maybe the FBIs policy will change on that, you never know.

These guys are bad ass! HRT is like the elite SWAT of the World!

[CycloneRabbit]

Why would you say it only happens once in the real world? They get deployed quite a lot, especially in the post 9/11 world and with the war in Iraq.

Thanks for not putting annoy music in the background 5/5!.

If I am not mistaken, in a period of one year they ran about 200 missions. Several of which included missions in Afghan Land and Iraq.

[MH6M]
