Members of the Fort McCoy Special Reaction Team (SRT),

Members of the Fort McCoy Special Reaction Team (SRT), all officers with the Directorate of Emergency Services Police Department, participate in training Nov. 5, 2019, on the cantonment area at Fort McCoy, Wis. The SRT is a team of specially trained police officers ready to respond installation-wide to a hostage-taking or related event at any time. The SRT is a critical element in an installation crisis-response plan, and its role is to be the garrison commander’s principle response force in the event of a major disruption or high-risk incident on the installation. By Army definition, an SRT is a team of military or security personnel armed and equipped to isolate, contain, gather information for, and, if necessary, neutralize a special threat. Specific missions and response capabilities of an SRT are determined by the threat and availability of equipment and training time. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
