In military science, QRF stands for Quick Reaction Force, which is a military unit capable of rapidly responding to developing situations, typically to integrate as a team with allies in need of immediate assistance. QRFs are versatile teams of experts in various fields such as explosive ordnance disposal, unexploded ordnance remediation, physical security, and stockpile. They are skilled, prepared, and equipped to respond to any type of emergency. Army units postured as quick reaction forces have a main mission of security and information gathering. QRFs are not a specific unit, but rather a concept that can be applied to various units, such as elite recon, elite wheeled or helo units, and planes. They are kept behind the front line of engagement and can be shifted forward in the event of a breakthrough, either in your lines or in theirs. QRFs are used to react quickly to emergency situations, like a recon unit.
