FBI The roughly 100 members of the FBI s Hostage Rescue Team are the Tier 1 operators in the federal law-enforcement community.

The HRT is the law-enforcement equivalent of the military s Delta Force and SEAL Team 6 and has the authority to conduct operations overseas. The unit s roughly 100 operators are divided into two teams (Gold and Blue) that contain assault and sniper teams and train for a range of contingencies, including rescuing hostages, counterterrorism, executing warrants on high-threat suspects, and aircraft and ship hijackings.
