What is the National Strike Force?
• The National Strike Force (NSF) which includes the
NSFCC, PIAT, AST, GST & PST, provides rapidly
deployable technical experts, specialized equipment,
and incident management capabilities for Lead
Agency Incident Commanders and FOSCs for their
response and preparedness missions.
• As a vital component of the National Response
System and homeland security mission, the NSF
minimizes the adverse impact to public and the
environment from oil discharges, hazardous materials
releases, natural disasters and WMD incidents.
