strike force
Rapid response unit
A strike force is a military unit assembled for a specific offensive operation, typically combining different capabilities—air, ground, naval—for coordinated attack.
The term extends to any team organized for aggressive action against a target: a law enforcement strike force pursuing organized crime, a corporate strike force addressing a crisis.
The emphasis is on swift, focused intervention rather than sustained operations.
