WHAT DOES RAPID DEPLOYMENT FORCE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

rapid deployment force

Rapid deployment force

A Rapid deployment force is a military formation capable of quick deployment of its forces. Such forces typically consist of elite military units and are usually trained at a higher intensity than the rest of their country's military. They usually receive priority in equipment and training to prepare them for their mission. Quick Response Force should not be confused with Rapid Deployment Forces or Rapid Response. QRF units are most often units that react to local or regional issues within their area of jurisdiction, i.e. National Guard, militias, Forward Deployed, para-military forces, etc. Rapid Deployment Forces in most militaries are used for deployment outside of their country's borders. The US Army's 82nd Airborne Division and the 75th Ranger Regiment are the best examples of Rapid Deployment Forces. Both units have the mission of having combat troops "Wheels Up" within 18 hours of executive notification. Both units have the capability of "Forced Entry" into a territory to seize and secure key terrain, e.g. Drop Zone, airfield or airport, to accommodate follow on forces. A good example of this was the Operation Urgent Fury.
