EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM

They provide emergency response to senior DoD officials.

They also provide security and protection of U.S. government officials and other high-ranking foreign diplomats and control crowds for various events, including National Security Special Events, Presidential Inaugurations, annual marathons, protests, and ceremonies at the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial.
