An assault team is a group of soldiers or security staff that is sent along on an away mission in case of hostillity, or beamed aboard a disabled vessel or outpost to steal technology. Assault teams are typically more heavily armed with weapons and specialized equipment for combat situations.

During the 22nd century, Earth Starfleet used groups of MACO soldiers for assault teams, most notably aboard the Enterprise (NX-01). An assault team was used to steal data discs containing ship logs that proved the Enterprise innocent of destroying the Paraagan II colony. (ENT: "Shockwave, Part I")

USS Defiant (NCC-1764) bridge

Archer and an assault team on the Defiant's bridge.

In the mirror universe, Starfleet of the Terran Empire employed assault teams in a wider variety of situations. In 2155, Commander Jonathan Archer led an assault team that boarded the USS Defiant (NCC-1764). Archer again led an assault team to find the Gorn Slar and recover the starship components the alien had stolen. Yet again, Archer used an assault team to arrest all the aliens aboard the ISS Avenger. (ENT: "In a Mirror, Darkly, Part I" and "Part II")

Members of the Cardassian Rebellion during the Dominion War in 2375 were organized into an assault team for their attack on Dominion Headquarters. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
