When a terrorist attack occurs against U.S. interests overseas, affected Americans and the host nation need rapid, coordinated, effective assistance to resolve the situation. The Foreign Emergency Support Team was created to respond to such situations when U.S. assistance has been requested by the Chief of Mission, host government or directed by the President of the United States. Since its inception in 1985, the FEST has provided rapid assistance to Americans abroad and countries around the world which have suffered terrorist attacks.

Airborne Tactical Advantage Company Israel IAI Kfir C2
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
ATAC provides dissimilar air combat training to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps fighter pilots, as well as target towing, simulated ship attack and electronic warfare training.
First flown in June 1973, the Kfir-C1 was in essence the airframe of the Dassault-Breguet Mirage III/5 series mated to the General Electric J79 afterburning turbojet and fitted with a suite of Israeli electronics. The type was designed after the manufacturer had gained experience with the Nesher (eagle), which was an unlicensed copy of the Mirage IIICJ with an equally unlicensed Atar turbojet, produced mainly for Israeli service but later exported as the Dagger. The Kfir-C1 entered only limited production (27 aircraft), with two squadrons equipped from 1974 pending the introduction of more advanced derivatives.
Kfir-C1 fighters with small canards but no armament were delivered to the US Navy and Marine Corps with the designation F-21A for use as "aggressor" aircraft in dissimilar air combat training.
The Kfir-C2, introduced in 1976 after a first flight in 1974, was a developed version of the Kfir-C2 designed to keep the type viable against all conceivable threats well into the 1990s. The result is a warplane with formidable combat capabilities plus short-field performance thanks to the sustained maneuverability and control effectiveness resulting from the aerodynamic developments. The type is distinguishable from the Kfir-C1 by its dogtoothed outer wing panels, small undernose strakes and, most importantly of all, swept delta canard foreplanes.
The Kfir-C7, the definitive single-seat version introduced in 1983, is based on the Kfir-C2 with a specially adapted version of the J79-GEJ1E with some 1,000 lb (454 kg) more afterburning thrust. The type has two extra hardpoints and a number of advanced features including capability for the carriage and use of 'smart' weapons, Elta EL/M-2021B pulse-Dopplar radar, a revised cockpit with more sophisticated electronics and HOTAS (Hands On Throttel And Stick) controls and provision for inflight-refueling. Maximum take-off weight is increased by 3,395 lb (1,540 kg), but combat radius and (more importantly) thrust-to-weight ratio are improved to a marked degree.

Airborne Tactical Advantage Company Saab 35 Draken
kjfitz (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: kjfitz.
The Saab 35 Draken [Dragon] is a second generation supersonic interceptor with a distinctive double delta wing. The decision to develop the Saab 35 Draken supersonic fighter, which introduced what was perhaps the most daring chapter so far in the history of the Swedish aircraft industry, had been taken as far back as 1949. After much research including flight-testing of a 70 percent scale aircraft, the first prototype of the innovative double-delta Draken flew in late 1955 and Sweden´s first Mach 2 fighter was a reality, entering production in 1957.
The J35A Draken entered service in 1959 and was followed by five different versions for the Swedish Air Force, including the all-weather J35F with its then advanced radar, infra-red search and track system, and both radar and IR guided missiles. In all, 612 Drakens were built between 1955 and 1972. Of these, 51 were exported to Denmark, Finland assembled 12 under license and later bought a number of ex-Swedish aircraft, and Austria ordered 24 modified Drakens.
The single-seat combat aircraft has, a single engine and is equipped with two 30mm automatic cannons and Sidewinder air-to-air guided weapons. The fuselage is round with small canopy, extending beyond the trailing edge of the tail fin, which is small and is highly swept along both leading and trailing edge. Small oval air intakes are located on either side of the fuselage. There are several versions of this aircraft and the type can operate from small airfields.

The Real Club de Polo was founded in
1897. It has more than 9,000 members,
and enjoys considerable prestige. Its
facilities include a polo pitch, a
competition arena, a training course for
jumping, four hockey pitches, 31 tennis
courts, two squash courts, two open-air
swimming pools and a social club. The
alterations needed to prepare these

Montjuïc Swimming Pool
Lamos (VirtualGlobetrotting)
By: Lamos.
Located in the southern part of the park
of Montjuïc, this pool was used for the
Olympic diving competition and the
preliminary phases of the water polo.
The new structure is on the site of the old
pool, built in 1929 and subsequently
enlarged by the addition of a new stand
for the II Mediterranean Games in 1955.
The most striking feature of the venue is
its situation, with a splendid view
over the city of Barcelona. The financing
of the building work and the site
management were the responsibility of
COOB'92.

Palau de la Metal-lúrgia
The Palau de la Metal-lúrgia was the
venue for the fencing competition of the
Games of the XXV Olympiad.
Situated on the north-west edge of the
Montjuïc Area, the Palau de la
Metal-lúrgia, like the other halls on the
Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, is
normally used for exhibitions and shows
organised by the Barcelona Trade Fair.
Hence, its transformation into the fencing
venue and training facility for the 1992
Olympic Games consisted entirely of
temporary modifications, just as though it
were for simply another trade show.

buildings in Spain to be constructed using
reinforced concrete. It was refurbished in
1986 by Francesc Labastida, for the
