A recurring trope in fiction from the 1960s onwards: the International Alliance of spies/cops/soldiers, sometimes through the UN and sometimes not, going around the world busting heads. Sometimes it's an alliance of nations otherwise at each other's throats, other times it's close allies. You've got your SHIELDs, your UNCLEs, your Rainbow Six's, your Action Forces before they went "we are GI Joe now" (and your 2009 movie GI Joe), etc etc.
And you get real world things like Europol or Interpol, but the nearest you get to the fictional ideal is Frontex, for patrolling EU borders for immigrants, which isn't really the sort of thing your inner ten-year-old wanted.
So what PODs would you need to be able to handwave in real-life Special Tactical Reserve for International Key Emergencies?
