Regional Support Units (RSU) ((アイルランド語:Aonad Tacaíochta Réigiúnach)) are specialist armed response units of the ''Garda Síochána'', the national police force of Ireland. Based in five regions in the country, Garda RSU officers carry a combination of lethal firearms and non-lethal weapons, as opposed to regular uniformed Gardaí who are unarmed. They are similar to Authorised Firearms Officers of British police forces. ==Duties== An armed Garda Regional Support Unit may be called out to support local Garda officers in certain high-risk operations.〔(RTE News - Armed garda response units operating - 3 September 2008 )〕 This principally involves offering armed assistance to otherwise unarmed Gardaí who are dealing with an incident in which firearms or other weapons (knives, etc.) have been produced.
