2. What is the National Strike Force? The National Strike Force (NSF) which includes the NSFCC, PIAT, AST, GST & PST, provides rapidly deployable technical experts, specialized equipment, and incident management capabilities for Lead Agency Incident Commanders and FOSCs for their response and preparedness missions. As a vital component of the National Response System and homeland security mission, the NSF minimizes the adverse impact to public and the environment from oil discharges, hazardous materials releases, natural disasters and WMD incidents.
