Navy SEALS:
Navy SEALS are a unique breed of warrior who conduct special
operations in any environment, but who are uniquely trained and equipped to
operate from, around, and in maritime areas. SEALS take their name from the
environments in which they are trained to operate: sea, air and land. Their
small highly trained teams usually work quietly at night conducting some of the
nation’s most important missions. SEALS are constantly deployed throughout the
world to protect national interests.
Navy SEALS and their high speed boat driving counterparts,
Naval Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman, form the operational arms of the
Naval Special Warfare community, which is headed by the Naval Special Warfare
Command. NSW acts both as the Navy’s special operations force as well as the
Navy component of the U.S. Special Operations Command, which is responsible for
all U.S. special operations forces.
NSW training and preparation stresses an enduring commitment
to individual initiative, personal responsibility and mission accomplishment.
Naval Special Warfare goes to great lengths to ensure that its forces are
capable and prepared.
A career as a Navy SEAL provides
intangible and tangible benefits. SEALs work closely with their teammates to
innovatively accomplish missions important to national security. They
constantly learn and push their physical and mental limits, living an unconventional
and out-of-the-cubicle lifestyle.

Navy SEALs
operate at the forefront of America’s national security efforts by conducting
direct action missions against bomb making networks and, to finding, fixing and
finishing high value terrorist cells. SEALs have provided security for key
officials, taught foreign military and special operations personnel how to
combat terrorism in their own countries, and prevented environmental sabotage.
Wherever they are assigned, Navy SEALs make a difference by supporting their
teammates, serving their country and protecting both U.S. and global citizens.
