Special Weapons And Tactics

Special Weapons And Tactics (SWAT) is a specialized unit in UNSC law-enforcement agencies, which is trained to perform dangerous, high risk operations. These can include serving high-risk arrest warrants, performing hostage rescue and/or armed intervention, preventing terrorist attacks, and engaging heavily-armed criminals. SWAT teams are equipped with specialized firearms including assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, carbines, riot control agents, stun grenades, and high-powered rifles for marksmen (snipers). They often have specialized equipment including heavy body armor, entry tools, armored vehicles, and night vision optics.

The only known SWAT department is the SWAT department on Harvest, of which Jerald Mulkey Ander was a Major in.
