Reservists.

Reservists at the ready, move fast men!

Israeli counterterrorism special units reservists only. LOTAR.

From the wiki entry LOTAR:

“LOTAR . . . is an IDF special force unit whose mission is to protect the safety of the residents and tourists of Eilat against terrorism and is also specialized in hostage rescue operations. Unlike the other units within the Israeli army, LOTAR Eilat is made up of reservists between the ages of 20 and 60 who live in southern Israel and volunteer to protect their city”

Reservists when called to action the response must be instantaneous.

See the You Tube video LOTAR.

“The time they have to arrive is very short, so they must respond to the calls quickly. Once the alarm goes off, they only have seven minutes to get to the location and another seven additional minutes to put on their uniforms and equipment. That makes a total of 14 minutes. They can proceed fast since these men meet to perform drills and train for an eventual situation several times a year”

LOTAR units deployed throughout Israel apparently on a regional basis. LOTAR Eilat just one such contingent. The Israeli military has dedicated LOTAR unit of local residents ready-to-go on a moments notice? To a degree this resembles the theme system of the Byzantines?
