The primary responsibility of reducing the CBR terrorist threat rested with the CBR Response Squadron (CBRR Sqn). The CBRR Sqn was primarily focused on supporting the New South Wales Police, however this support also included coverage of all other Australian cities that hosted Olympic events as well as supporting a hostage recovery incident should a CBR threat develop.
