Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 24 [#3] Dedicated MTF Alpha-22 rapid-response team (commanders, medics, engineers, heavy-equipment operators, marksmen, drivers).

📋 Confidence Notes
Estimates incorporate analyst-supplied ranges and concrete unit costs but frequency/location uncertainty, optional capital-purchase choices, and wide per-event damage variance reduce confidence to medium.
