Tactical assault group
The Tactical Assault Groups are the premier counter-terrorism units of Australia. There are two units: one called TAG West, and the other TAG East; each protects a different geographical area. The units draw their members from other elite units within the Australian Defence Force, with each TAG unit drawing from different parent units.
TAG West is responsible for the areas of Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory and other outlying Australian island territories. TAG West draws it’s members from the Special Air Service Regiment. Due to the SASR’s position as the most elite unit in the Australian military, TAG West has the reputation of being the senior of the two TAG units.
TAG East is responsible for the areas of Tasmania, Victoria, Australia, New South Wales, Queensland, Jervis Bay Territory, Australian Capital Territory and other outlying Australian island territories. TAG East draws it's members from the 4th Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (Commando) and the Royal Australian Navy's Clearance Diving Teams.
