Indeed the RAF did, but it no longer does.

The light armoured RAF Regiment squadrons were binned during Options For Change I believe as they duplicated a task already carried out by the British Army and the RAF motor launches at RAF Mount Batten were superseeded by SAR helicopters in their rescue role and RN assets for their target towing role.
