"I'm sorry, Mr. President, with all due respect, the quick reaction team is just another SEAL Team 6 when it operates like this. This is a waste of resources..."
After all, the Secretary of Defense was a soldier and spoke very directly. Irving did not expect that President Palmer would give such a big gift to the quick reaction team, and he never thought about how to deal with it.
President Palmer replied directly: "Yes, Mr. Minister, the position of Omega Team is TU's SEAL Team 6. They must be able to fight like SEAL Team 6, but at the same time, they are different.
SEAL Team 6 is a special force. They are weapons of the nation prepared to fight in various extreme environments. They must adapt to various environments, but the Omega Team I want to create is different. It also requires extremely strong combat skills, but it is
Just focus on counter-terrorism.
I require that every member of Omega is not only an excellent soldier, but also an anti-terrorist expert and agent. They are familiar with information on terrorists in various countries, know the methods of terrorist attacks well, know how to investigate clues through clues, and also
They will disguise themselves to obtain intelligence. To put it bluntly, they must be a collection of counter-terrorism experts, agents and soldiers.
The war on terrorism has begun, and the United States is forced to respond, but this war is different from conventional war. The battlefield of the war on terrorism may appear anywhere. What we need is a professional team that can make the best decisions in the shortest time.
The professional team will become the calling card of the United States in the war on terrorism..."
The President's words left the Secretary of Defense wondering how to object. The Special Forces are indeed strong, but what the President said is not wrong. Counter-terrorism is only one of the many tasks of the Special Forces. Everyone in the Special Forces is a combat expert, but they may not be able to become
Counter-terrorism experts, and the Omega Team focuses on counter-terrorism. Their understanding of terrorists is by no means comparable to that of the special forces members who were familiar with the information through mission briefings before the war.
In previous missions, due to the lack of a comprehensive understanding of terrorists, special forces usually could only cooperate with local agents who were familiar with the situation to perform tasks. If the agents died or lost contact, the decisions made by the special forces based on the situation were often not the best decisions, but might instead be the best.
have an impact on future plans.
After the military people no longer objected, everyone else agreed. In silence, the fate of the quick reaction team was also decided. After the meeting, Owen and Jack drove back to CTU. President Palmer gave two big gifts to CTU.
, they are quite busy.
As soon as he returned to CTU, Jack was called away. CTU had a lot of things waiting for him to make decisions, as well as matters related to the Office of the Director of Intelligence, and a lot of things needed to be submitted to the parliament, all of which required Jack to prepare.
Owen moved to the shooting range. The team members were not in the work area and were probably practicing shooting.
Sure enough, he saw the team members at the shooting range. Irving clapped his hands and signaled everyone to start a meeting. A few minutes later, the five quick responders gathered in the conference room.
Irving did not sell out and directly told everyone what the White House had just confirmed: "Guys, the Presidentially Approved Rapid Response Team has been renamed Omega Team and will enjoy an independent budget. In terms of intelligence, there will be unconditional cooperation from the newly established Office of the Director of Intelligence. At the same time, we
Will establish its own intelligence analysis department, reserve team and equipment research institute..."
Owen answered all the questions of the team members in detail. The president has high expectations for the Omega Team. This is an offensive team. To put it bluntly, most of the current terrorist attacks, SWAT and police are done after the fact.
In response, they are more of a defensive task, but Omega is different. Omega is allowed to take the lead in attacking before it thinks that the opponent has an intention to attack but does not commit an attack.
"As for the existing staffing of the reserve team and our team, if you have any good ideas, you can tell us..."
Owen asked in a timely manner. The reserve team exists to supplement the Omega team. Once there are casualties in the team, people will be drawn from the reserve team to replace them.
"Boss, I think we need an intelligence agent..."
Ghost spoke first. Since the Omega team enjoys the unconditional support of the Office of the Director of Intelligence, there is definitely no need to worry about intelligence. However, they must face a massive amount of intelligence. In the past, this piece of information was selectively provided to them by Jenny.
It would not be good for them to go out independently and rely on ctu to provide technical support.
Irving has also thought about this. The president allows them to establish an intelligence analysis department, and the manpower can be drawn from other agencies at will. The first candidate in Irving's mind is Sha Baitian. I used to think that the configuration of the quick response was too low, and I was embarrassed to let Sha Bai.
Come here, it’s different now. She looks like she’s about to take off soon. Silly Baitian will never treat her badly when she comes here.
"I already have someone in mind for the intelligence officer. It's Nikki. She once did intelligence support for the Third Echelon. Her intelligence analysis and hacking skills are top-notch. She is the most suitable person to lead the intelligence analysis department. I will work with her later.
She contacted..."
Everyone couldn't help but nodded when they heard that Silly Baitian, who had worked with them during the White House crisis, then Swagger said: "Irving, you are the commander and can play any role. The ghost is the deputy commander and assaulter.
, Monica is the assaulter, Heartbeat is responsible for breaking the door and covering, I am responsible for sniping, I think we also need a fireman..."
Seeing others nodding, Owen also agreed. The role of machine gunner is not necessary, but it is better than nothing. Owen looked at everyone and said, "I have no objection. The president has no restrictions on the size of our team, but we are elite."
The team is small, so the number of people cannot be too large. If you have any suitable candidates you can recommend, it is best to be at tier 1 level, and all members must pass before they are allowed to join..."
The tier 1 Owen mentioned means the first tier, which is used to describe the level of special forces. Currently, Delta and SEAL Team 6 belong to the first tier, but the other SEAL teams are just regular special forces and belong to tier 2.
Everyone agreed that combat skills were necessary, but for an elite team like theirs, tacit cooperation was more important. Therefore, everyone must nod in agreement before the addition of new members, otherwise it would be irresponsible for their own lives.
At this time, Monica raised her hand and said, "Would you consider the military dog exam?"
Military dog?
Owen really hadn't thought about this, but Ghost understood this better and explained: "Military dogs are more flexible than humans. Well-trained military dogs are more suitable than humans for performing reconnaissance missions in many scenarios. I know that every seal
The teams are all equipped with military dogs. The military dogs have cameras that can help the team members complete reconnaissance missions. Moreover, powerful military dogs can even install C4 and detonate landmines..."
Ghost still needs more experience. He has been in SAS and knows many things. Owen does not know about the seals equipped with military dogs, for example.
Owen thought for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind, and finally said: "You can give it a try, find a suitable military dog and take a look before making a decision. If possible, the military dog can also be regarded as a member of the team, and everyone's consent is also required before being allowed to join.
