Counter-assault Team

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Counter-assault Team is a specially trained tactical unit of the United States Secret Service responsible for neutralizing attacks on high-risk protectees. These units typically operate in heavily-armed, five-man teams that augment an existing protective detail. In the event of an assault, their purpose is to engage the attacker(s) while the protective detail evacuates their principle to safety.
