    If an act of war is committed, why involve the military?

    Yes, that is what you just asked. Be embarrassed.

    Different countries react differently, based on their traditions and organization.

    In the US, the FBI would be sent in. In the UK the SAS. I guess your local police don't have the resources or training to do the job, so the military became involved.
