What is HRT?
Were these agents involved in an operation that would be damaging to Obama?
Hostage Rescue Team —
What is HRT? I am sure another FReeper must have said it is the hostage rescue team of the FBI. What is really unique about those guys however is that it is tier 1 operations team. There are only two other (known) tier 1 units - DEVGRU (better known as SEAL Team 6) and CAG (better known as Delta Force). In counter-terrorism/hostage-rescue duties, the HRT is better trained than Tier 2 units like the normal SEAL teams (non ST6 teams) and the Army Special Forces (Green Berets).
