Members of a Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement Team (TACLET) fast-rope down from a MH-60J Jaw Hawk helicopter during a demonstration from Pacific Tactical Law Enforcement Team and the Miami-based Tactical Law Enforcement Team South, 2009.
TACLETs deploy Law Enforcement Detachments (LETDETs) on counter smuggling operations.
These specialized forces use vertical insertion techniques to gain access to port facilities and vessels, including ships underway.
