"Ad hoc is a Latin phrase which means "for this purpose". It generally signifies a solution that has been custom designed for a specific problem, is non-generalizable, and cannot be adapted to other purposes.

Ad hoc can also have connotations of a makeshift solution, inadequate planning, or improvised events. "

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hoc

so an "ad hoc posse" would be an improvised posse, or one formed especially.

Ad hoc means "for a special purpose, case, or immediate reason." For example, an ad hoc report is one put together on short notice to answer a very specific need, or an ad hoc committee is one put together on a temporary basis to solve a specific problem. The phrase has been extended in computer technology to mean a network for a short-term network, such as one established with wireless technology for a short session ("I linked up through an ad hoc connection at the Starbucks") Ad hoc literally means in Latin "for (or to) this."

ad hoc for a specific purpose
posse a group of men organized by a sheriff to keep the peace

Its a redundant phrase because all posse's are orginizes for a specific purpose.
