QUICK RESPONSE FORCE

What is a quick reaction force?

Introduction

In military science classification, a quick reaction force (QRF) is an armed military unit competent at rapidly responding to developing situations, typically to assist allied units in need of such assistance. Teams are to have geared up and ready to counter to any type of urgent situation, in general within ten minutes or less but that is based on unit SOPs. Units are frequently postured as quick reaction forces, with a core mission of security and survey.

Overview 

The QRF is the latest military reserve and belongs in a straight line to the commander. Depending on the unit size and protocols, the commander may be the only person allowed to control the QRF, or he may pass on this responsibility to one or more people. QRFs are commonly found in movement battalion-level task forces and above, in addition to many working bases having their own devoted QRFs to react to threats on or instantly around the base.

The eagerness level of the QRF is based on unit SOPs. Since maintaining a split-second level of willingness is demanding on equipment, fuel, and personnel, the QRF is postured based on the probability of being called up. During high-intensity conflicts, the QRF may be forced to maintain that split-second level of readiness, and have all members in their vehicles with the motors running. However, during low-intensity variance, when deployment is less probable and may be more readily predicted, the command establishes how fast the QRF must be talented to respond, which can vary from vehicles and personnel in a central location with the troops rotating out of the trucks to the vehicles simply staged close to a unit area, with all personnel staying close enough for quick recall. The speed at which a QRF is predicted to respond is defined by its readiness state.

Types Of Quick Response Force 

Normally quick response teams consist of three types i.e,

1.  QRF I (It comprises one in charge and three to four personnel)

2.   QRF 2 (It comprises one in charge and six to eight personnel)

3.   QRF 3 (It comprises one platoon composition personnel)
