Introduction
 Very dangerous conditions and
unconventional hazards are commonplace for tactical law enforcement
(SWAT) teams. Most teams are equipped and trained to handle
hostage incidents, barricades, high risk warrant service and
dignitary protection. Many teams have additional duties which put
them at high risk for injury, such as tactical diving and other
marine activities, back country law enforcement, air operations or
search and rescue. Some teams operate on a full time basis, while
others are part-time, responding from patrol duties and other
assignments when required. All are highly trained to operate in
these adverse and austere conditions. Due to the nature of the
missions and the special training of these teams, personnel
continuously work at the edge of the safety envelope. The health and
safety of a tactical team is a command responsibility. Manpower
maintenance and appropriate medical support are essential to mission
accomplishment.
