Helicopters may be used  to provide aerial reconnaissance or even insertion via rappelling or  fast-roping. To avoid detection by suspects during insertion in urban  environments, SWAT units may also use modified buses, vans, trucks, or  other seemingly normal vehicles. While a wide variety of weapons are used by SWAT teams, the most common  weapons include submachine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, and sniper  rifles. Semi-automatic pistols are the most popular sidearms.

JTF2 describes its mission as “rendering armed assistance in the  resolution of an incident that is affecting, or has the potential to  affect, Canada’s national interest.” JTF2 personnel are divided into two categories: Category A – special  operations assaulters (SOA) who are directly employed in the tactical  aspects of special operations and other high value tasks; and Category B  – support and specialist personnel (SP) fill positions in staff  officer, support, and specialist positions. This category also includes  the special operations coxswain position. JTF2’s secrecy has kept the unit out of the Canadian public eye for  quite some time, though it did appear in the Tom Clancy Rainbow Six  video game series. A character named Roger McAllen, who was part of the  former Royal Canadian Mounted Police SERT, ported over to JTF2 when they  were handed over responsibility for counter-terrorism duties in 1993. <img src="http://dc120.4shared.com/img/176862224/554e45c3/remamber_to_say_thanks.gif?rand=0.809961750790935" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
