According to a U.S. defense official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the sensitive issue due to the deteriorating security situation in Haii at the request of the State Department, a Marine Corps Security Forces' elite anti-terrorist security team based in Yorktown, Virginia has deployed to Haiti.

The Marine Anti-Terrorism Security Teams, better known as FAST, (Fleet Anti-terrorism Security Team) are deployed around the world for limited periods to reinforce, protect or recapture U.S. assets.

FAST Marines receive specialized training in noncombatant evacuation operations, close quarters combat, military operations in urban terrain, convoy operations, shipboard operations, and specialized security operations.

Let's recall that the American Embassy in Haiti, in a security alert, this week urged American citizens present in the country to leave as soon as possible and declared "Embassy operations could be further affected during week due to gang-related violence and its effects on transportation and infrastructure" https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-41800-haiti-flash-american-citizens-called-to-leave-haiti-as-soon-as-possible.html
