RALEIGH,
N.C. – Soldiers of the North Carolina National Guard trained for Rapid
Reaction Force duty at sites across the Charlotte area. The training
scenarios tested the Soldiers ability to use nonlethal force to support
state and local first responders and county emergency management
agencies. The RRF is a quick reaction team that, on order, is deployable
anywhere in North Carolina within 24 to 36 hours of a critical event.
In times of crisis, the RRF may be ordered by the President of the
United States or the Governor of North Carolina in order to augment
Federal or State Authorities in response to actions such as a known
terrorist attack, civil unrest or a natural and/or man-made disaster.
