Hostage Rescue Team
HRT Commander TanoiThe Hostage Rescue Team (HRT) stands as the pinnacle tactical unit within the CSN Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB). Conceived with the purpose of furnishing an around-the-clock federal law enforcement tactical capacity, the HRT was established to adeptly respond to significant terrorist incidents occurring across the United States.

Functioning in synergy with the Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU), field SWAT teams, and the Tactical Helicopter Unit (THU), the HRT constitutes a vital component of the FIB's Critical Incident Response Group (CIRG).
