[World Building / GURPS] Rainbow Six Organization

In an alternate world, having the unit be military and under NATO would probably be the least change from our world. Many nations have used military force against terrorists, even inside their borders, and it's at the very least not impossible that in a world where international cooperation in this area was greater, NATO would have a dedicated joint, multi-national unit for this.

HQ could be in any NATO country, with Germany and Great Britain both being very plausible.

A greater change would be to have the European Union have either a joint military or an actual police force in the place of Europol. The unit could then fall under either one, depending on whether you want a military or police force.

These could be stationed anywhere in the EU. Brussels would be a symbolic choice, but any big military base in an EU country might be a contender. If under Europol, The Hague would probably be most appropriate.

Probably the most far-reaching departure from our world would be to have the United Nations or Interpol have agencies with actual authority to carry out operations and making your unit fall under such an agency.

These might be headquartered in one or more of New York, Geneva, Nairobi or Vienna, possibly with operational bases located on the basis of high-risk areas or access to training sites. If under Interpol, consideration would be given to placing it in or near Lyon.
