    The training scenario tests the soldiers’ ability to use nonlethal force to disperse a crowd of aggressors from a water plant. This training prepares the soldiers to support state and local first responders and county emergency management agencies. The RRF is a quick reaction team that, on order, is deployable anywhere in North Carolina within 24 to 36 hours of a critical event. In times of crisis, the RRF may be ordered by the president of the United States or the governor of North Carolina in order to augment federal or state authorities in response to actions such as a known terrorist attack, civil unrest or a natural and/or man-made disaster.
