What are the positions of a SWAT or DEA task force or mobile enforcement teams?
I was just wondering what you would call the different positions on the raid team. I know some of the positions duty, like the one breaks bars off doors, one may knock down down, theres the first to enter, etc. what would you call these positions if u were giving them individual names. thanks.

The entry team consists of a team leader, assistant team leader, shield, point, breacher, and the rest are members of the "stack".
The team leader gives verbal orders, and there is an assistant in case the leader goes down. They are normally towards the back of the stack.
The point man is the first one in, or second one if there is a shield man. The breacher carries tools to force a door open if necessary, and is near the front of the stack. The rest are called team members, and do whatever the leader designates.
There are also other members who do not enter, such as a sniper, or negotiator.

If there is a check and balance you never hear about it. The blue shield is silent. Much of the problem is psychological as many cops start to treat regular civilians as possible scumbags.

On the entry team: Breachers, Shield man/men, Assualters, Rear security.
There are other names for them, but these are the ones I've used on my teams.
