strike team
Rapid response group
A strike team is a small, specialized group assembled for a specific mission or rapid response.
In firefighting, it's a set number of resources (typically five) of the same type with a leader.
In military and law enforcement, strike teams execute targeted operations: The strike team breached the compound at dawn.
Video games and action films have popularized the term for any elite tactical unit.
