The Multiple Assault Counter-Terrorism Action Capability pack was designed with elite elements of LAPD and LASD allowing carry of terrorism response assault gear in one kit. In response to the Mumbai Assault of 2008 where multiple civilian centers were targeted simultaneously, LAPD and LASD developed MACTAC to train and equip multiple teams around the City of Angels to engage attacking terrorists with rifles, plate carriers and tactical systems deployed from the pack which first carries this gear as a pack and then converts to a satchel for easy draw of ammunition and grenades during the assault phase.
