- The counter-terrorism page primarily deals with special police or military organizations that carry out arrest or direct combat with terrorists. This page deals with the other aspects of counter-terrorism:
* the national authority over it
* identification and monitoring of threats
* clandestine and covert interference with the internal organization of those threats (and detection of/interference with their finances)
* warning of planned attacks
* mitigation of incidents (this may involve the organization that also deals with major accidents and natural disasters) Nations differ in how they implement their system of counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism organizations. This page summarizes several countries' models as examples. As a response to global terror, the United States Department of Defense has created and implemented various special operations forces in the Air Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps. These elite forces deployed to high risk areas in the East to conduct their missions. These missions included direct action against groups, counter intelligence, and reconnaissance. The Air Force special forces are referred to combat controllers. The Army special operators are known as Rangers and are the army's version of Navy special operators, better known as the Navy Seals. Finally, the Marine Corps has instilled various special operations to the Corps: The Raiders, Recon, and Force Recon. These elite personal are in the top 1% of all active military. Each force endures their own specialized training course that they must pass in order to be awarded the operator title. Often, the war on terror goes unknown to the public. The public eye is not exposed to even half of what actually occurs in the war on terrorism and it is important for officials to remain discrete in their mission and covert actions. (en)
