The organization was intended to employ the best in the fields of combat and intelligence, which oddly resulted in some rather humorous but nonetheless effective strategies as it had one of the highest kill streaks against giant monsters among all of the previous defense teams.

History

Ultraman Taro

ZAT was created nine years after the SSSP to confront extraterrestrial threats to mankind. Its headquarters was located in New York with the UN and it also had based in America, Argentina, France, the Union of South Africa and the Arctic.

ZAT Tower

The ZAT Tower is the ZAT branch base in East Asia, located at 1-1-1 Kasumigaseki, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. The facility consists of a disc-shaped main body, underground storage facilities for various mechas, and a tower-like shaft connecting the main body and the storage facilities. It has facilities such as a command room, control room, reception room, weapons development area, member personal room, and information area.

In emergency situations, the ZAT Tower's main body can jet out from the bottom and separate from the lower building, allowing it to maneuver in the air. This feature can also be used for aerial escapes.
