Forming a Crisis action Plan (CAS)
Counter terrorism
The counter terrorism units are specially trained in ensuring that the incidents that have to do with hostage taking, bombings as well as kidnapping are appropriately and professionally handled. In the recent years, there has been emphasis on the better training of the first responders over and above the Special Forces. This has seen the major mid-sized police departments having a SWAT team as well as the trained hostage negotiators.
When it comes to the international levels of terror, which is the prime concern of the paper, there is a wider engagement of Special Forces overseen by the National Security Council that is oversea and the FBI being the lead agency (Frank B. et.al, 2002:24).
The counter-terrorism plan can be categorized into four major categories as preparation, deployment, employment, and redeployment.
Preparation
The Special Forces soldiers are normally on the real world terrorism combat or on training for one of these various terrorism acts. With the various legislative adjustments made after the 9/11 various units like the FBI have been revamped and training scaled up in order to meet the requirements of the overseas terrorism activities. The training covers a large spectrum from counterterrorism to the humanitarian aspect of it after terror acts. The training takes a very wide scope from the legal aspects, intelligence collection, the negotiation, and...

The Special Forces are normally deployed to areas that are considered prone to terrorist attacks or could be harboring weapons that could end up being used as weapons of mass destruction. The Special Forces are deployed to preclude, preempt and resolve the terrorist incidents that may have been planned abroad. Most of the time, these deployments take the shape of occupations as was in the Afghanistan war and the direct action deployments where the Special Forces strike with the intent to seize, capture, recover or destroy the weapons of the enemy and/or information or even in a bid to rescue a captured diplomat as was the case with the killing of Osama Bin laden (Army Strong, 2012).
Employment
This is another function of the counterterrorism troops abroad that will have to be emphasized on in order to successfully neutralize the terrorism activities. This is where the Foreign Internal Defense (FID) comes into effect. This is kind of a joint operation where the U.S.A. works with other nations to combat terror. The FID tactics are taught to other friendly nations even in times of peace in order to put them in a good position…
