Military Policemen with Marine Corps Base Hawaii's Special Reaction Team (SRT) perform warm up drills with M4 carbines and M9 pistols as part of a training exercise.
Marine Corps SRTs are an elite unit similar in role and tactics to civilian Police S.W.A.T. teams.
They are trained to respond to crisis situations at their assigned Marine Corps base incuding barricaded hostage situations, terrorist attacks and as a counter assault force during VIP visits.
