Quick Medical Attention
The first aid training that the Secret Service agents receive is very specific, as there are only certain types of situations that would require their expertise. The training allows them with the skills necessary to provide emergency medical attention as needed. In fact, the focus is centered around 10-minute medical aid. This is the time needed to get the president to a proper medical facility. One is usually nearby as the routes taken are planned that way. This tactic once saved President Reagan.

The President’s Travel Party
The president’s limousine is usually seen traveling as part of a caravan of several vehicles. One of those behind the president is a black van that transports the Counter Assault Team (CAT). The CAT is trained to respond to direct assaults on the caravan. Should such an attack occur, the Secret Service agents who are with the president are tasked with getting him to safety. The counter-sniper team then scans for danger while the CAT responds directly to the source of the assault.
