Counter Assault Teams(CATs)
HISTORY:
CATs. That was the standard term/acronym given to the Counter Attack Teams durring the 2009 'Big Shell Incident.' They were the best at what they did. The group had affiliations with the United States Army, but it was an official 'Black Unit' within the United States Secret Service. They were High-technologically equipped agents that were to safeguard the U.S. President at all times. The unit itself received variou smilitary training along with Special Weapons And Tactics(S.W.A.T.) training. Sometimes in civilian dress, the CATs were the agents that you didn't see at teh Presidents speaches and ceremonial events. When in the field, the agents would wear gear alike in design to that of the FOX-HOUND Blast Suit design, with a camouflage design pattern similar to that of the Post Sentry A's BDU design. After the terrorist threat at the Big Shell had been neutralized, the United States Army officially adopted the program into their FOX-HOUND Elite Special Forces Unit, taking in various 'Agents' and 'Soldiers' from other various units.
