Finalement, c'est un béret noir, en accord avec leur tenue d'intervention mythique, qui est devenu, dix ans plus tard, le couvre-chef standard pour les cérémonies. Lorsqu'il est en intervention, l'opérateur porte deux armes de poing de calibre 9 mm et une arme longue. Les deux premières - le Glock 17 et le Glock 26, plus compactes - servent à l'engagement à courte distance à moins de 20 mètres. Le Glock 17 est l'arme de référence au RAID.
Parmi les derniers organisés en France, on peut citer celui centré sur le contre-terrorisme aérien, à l'initiative du GIGN, à Châteauroux (Indre), ou un autre sur le tir à longue distance, piloté par le RAID, qui s'est tenu au camp de Souge, près de Bordeaux (Gironde). Ces réunions sont aussi l'occasion d'échanger et de progresser grâce aux derniers retours d'expériences des opérations qui se sont déroulées dans l'année. L'intérêt réside également dans le brassage des cultures, des expériences et des connaissances sur les matériels.
Les personnels disposent de moyens adaptés à leurs missions. Le stand de tir permet de reproduire des ambiances sonores et lumineuses différentes, tout en utilisant aussi des véhicules à l'intérieur du stand. On y tire à balles réelles. Le RAID possède également un hangar permettant l'entraînement au combat en milieu clos. Les parois internes sont mobiles, ce qui permet de reproduire les différentes sortes d'interventions. Les policiers y utilisent des armes modifiées, avec des cartouches marquant leurs « adversaires » d'une couleur bleue.
