Rapid deployment force
A rapid deployment force (RDF) is a military formation that is capable of fast deployment outside their country's borders. Rapid deployment forces typically consist of well-trained military units (special forces, paratroopers, marines, etc.) that can be deployed fairly quickly. They are similar to quick reaction forces (QRF) or rapid reaction forces (RRF).
