Members of the South Korean Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team take part in an antiterrorism exercise at a hotel in Seoul, May 28, 2010.

With a multitude of potential threats radiating over the border from North Korea, South Korea cannot be lax when it comes to security. 

As such, Seoul places a premium on the training and capabilities of its military and police forces. This is clearly illustrated through the paramilitary capabilities of the South Korean National Police (KNP) SWAT teams.

A 2014 video from LiveLeak shows the incredible training in small-arms maneuvers that these SWAT members go through.

The KNP is responsible for most security operations within the country, including counterterrorism measures, riot control, and hostage negotiations. The KNP also, on occasion, carries out join exercises with the Korean Coast Guard and Army.

The highlights of the KNP training video are in the following GIFs:
