strike teams
Rapid response groups
Strike teams are specialized groups assembled for rapid, coordinated response to emergencies or specific missions.
In firefighting and disaster response, strike teams consist of a set number of identical resources—typically five units of the same type—deployed together under single leadership.
The term extends to law enforcement tactical units and military operations: The strike team moved in at dawn.
In business contexts, strike teams are task forces assembled to address urgent problems: Management deployed a strike team to fix the supply chain crisis.
