    They would not be an entity I would encourage emulating -- nothing against the individuals in them, but they are not given the training, time, budget or equipment to do the job required of them.
    Seems interesting, how the pecking order perceived by the general public is, and how those more in the know see it.

    KevB's observation is true of a lot of the European LE Agency Teams.

    Pretty sure that's internet lore. Sort of like the one about USSS or FAMS having to qualify each morning before being allowed to work a shift.

    Yeah, probably. In reality, the only unit I know training at that OpTempo is @GJM and his wife, who have to run 200 rounds each day before they’re allowed to make breakfast...

    Some units within those organizations shoot once a month (or used to) and even that is a burden.
