  Several types of Galactic sources, like magnetars, microquasars, novae or
pulsar wind nebulae flares, display transient emission in the X-ray band. Some
of these sources have also shown emission at MeV--GeV energies. However, none
of these Galactic transients have ever been detected in the very-high-energy
(VHE; E$>$100 GeV) regime by any Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope (IACT). The
Galactic Transient task force is a part of the Transient Working group of the
Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) Consortium. The task force investigates the
prospects of detecting the VHE counterpart of such sources, as well as their
study following Target of Opportunity (ToO) observations. In this contribution,
we will show some of the results of exploring the capabilities of CTA to detect
and observe Galactic transients; we assume different array configurations and
observing strategies.
