assault teams
Tactical attack groups
Assault teams are small military or tactical units trained to attack fortified positions or conduct rapid offensive operations.
The term appears in military contexts for specialized forces breaching enemy defenses, and in law enforcement for units executing high-risk raids: The assault team entered through the roof.
Video games and action films have popularized the term beyond professional usage.
