FEST (United States Foreign Emergency Support Team)

The United States Foreign Emergency Support Team (FEST) is a rapid-response unit designed to respond to terrorist attacks against U.S. interests overseas. Created in 1985, it is directed by the Department of State, but constitutes an interagency force. Its most famous deployment occurred in 1998, when operatives of Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda network bombed U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
