Enhanced Special Response Team

The Enhanced Special Response Team (ESRT) is the elite tactical unit of the Extreme Crisis Response Group belonging to Apex Security Solutions, a daughter company of Apex Hypertechnology. The ESRT provide full-time law enforcement tactical capability to respond to major terrorist incidents and perform a number of tactical law enforcement and corporate security functions in high-risk environments throughout Apex Hypertechnology's corporate territory.

Composition

Equipment

The ESRT's equipment are the most advanced of the Apex Security Solutions' 108 SWAT teams, the 26 enhanced SWAT teams and of course completely eclipsing any regular security elements.
The ESRT is able to operate in a variety of environments, such as chemical, extreme cold, night and low-light, or rural environments. The ESRT's tactical teams have the ability to fast-rope, a technique in which the team rapidly descends a rope from the side of a helicopter. This technique is useful for deploying troops into an area where a helicopter cannot touch down. Even more advanced capabilities are possessed by the ESRT, including High Altitude Low Opening parachute operations, to name just one. The ESRT's capabilities include advanced ground tactics, advanced maritime operations, and advanced tactical aviation operations.

Training

The ESRT's capabilities are distinguished because the ESRT operators of both assault and sniper teams serve full-time and train daily.
When not operationally deployed, the ESRT conducts full-time training for its members at various sites across the Apex Hypertechnology's corporate territory. Two to three hours each day are set aside for physical training, a defensive tactics session, and combative training.

Logistics

Recruitment

Prospective ESRT operators are selected based upon their background and experience, as well as their demonstrated performance during the ESRT selection course. The rigorous two-week selection process includes long-distance runs, forced marches, obstacle courses, and other tests of physical and mental stamina. Throughout the entire selection process, candidates are evaluated on their ability to think under pressure and to perform whilst physically exhausted.
