assault team
Armed entry unit
An assault team is a small military or tactical unit trained for direct offensive operations—breaching fortified positions, conducting raids, or overwhelming enemy defenses through coordinated force.
The term extends to specialized law enforcement groups executing high-risk entries: The assault team breached the door at dawn.
In gaming and action contexts, assault team often describes any squad configured for aggressive engagement rather than support or reconnaissance.
