Immediate Action Unit
From Free net encyclopedia
The Immediate Action Unit (IAU) is the premier counter-terrorism special operations unit of the People's Republic of China.
Little is known about it except that it is an elite People's Armed Police unit rather than being drawn from the People's Liberation Army. Given the challenges faced by the Chinese government in the 21st century, it would not be surprising if the Immediate Action Unit were primarily tasked with responding to internal emergencies of great concern to the national government.
