Thanks brian. Good photos.
I know there are several threads already specifically about individual tactical teams ie: HRT, SOG, but I would like to make an all in one thread about these teams, and try to post some ones that have not been widely dicussed.
If some of these pictures are re-posts my apologies, I tried to find ones that have not been posted but its nearly impossible to look at all the old threads.
I'll start with the Marine military police SRT teams, which is the Marine equivalent of SWAT.

Are these Guys like an MP Unit? Does their role include Arresting Marines?
Thanks.
They are the MP's version of the SWAT Team, yes they can arrest Marine.
The AIr Force EST I am having a real hard time finding pictures of, but again they are the AF's Police version of SWAT, if anyone has picutes of knows of where I can find them please chime in. The reason I am making this thread is that I am college senior in Criminal Justice and my big final paper the topic I choose is Federal Law Enforcement Tactical Teams, So i am really just trying to share what I am finding picture wise. Thanks Brian

The U.S. Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) is the global special response team for the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Its mission is to respond to terrorist threats of all types anywhere in the world in order to protect our nation’s homeland. Its agents are counted among the nation’s most dedicated and highly trained special operators.

awesome pics, great thread, thanks.
Great thread! Thanks for sharing!!
We have US Marine Corps, US Air Force. Are there similar units in the US Navy, and US Army?
The Navy I have no information that would believe me that they do, I would think the Marines cover that area, the Army however does, though I have absolutely no pictures or information on them, I am not giving up finding some!
They are called Special Reaction Teams (SRT)
