Navy SEALs are a special 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 Crewmen, 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.
Illustrated with action photographs and color artworks, and with an authoritative text, The US Navy SEALs is a definitive history of one of America’s elite fighting units.
The U.S. Navy SEALs--named for the three environments from which they operate (Sea, Air, and Land)--was organized and created during World War II and has taken the lead in many special operations missions protecting the United States over the past seventy years. In this quick read, Hans Halberstadt offers an overview of various SEAL teams, including Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), and Special Warfare Command (SPECWARCOM), detailing their headquarters, training tactics, and place within the SEAL organization. He describes the typical skillset of a Navy SEAL, the different types of missions they carry out, and the shifting role of the SEALs since their official inception fifty years ago. Halberstadt goes on to explain how the history of American naval combat in WWII and the Korean War led to the official formation of the SEALs in 1962 with support from then-President John F. Kennedy. Finally, he narrates short stories of intense SEAL assignments carried out in Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, and the Persian Gulf. With black-and-white photos throughout, the centerpiece of this gripping quick read is the tale of an ambush against decorated Captain Bob Gormly's SEAL platoon in Vietnam.
A hard-hitting exposé of SEAL Team 6, the US military's best-known brand, that reveals how the Navy SEALs were formed, then sacrificed, in service of American empire. The Navy SEALs are, in the eyes of many Americans, the ultimate heroes. When they killed Osama Bin Laden in 2011, it was celebrated as a massive victory. Former SEALs rake in cash as leadership consultants for corporations, and young military-bound men dream of serving in their ranks. But the SEALs have lost their bearings. Investigative journalist Matthew Cole tells the story of the most lauded unit, SEAL Team 6, revealing a troubling pattern of war crimes and the deep moral rot beneath authorized narratives. From their origins in World War II, the SEALs have trained to be specialized killers with short missions. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan became the endless War on Terror, their violence spiraled out of control. Code Over Country details the high-level decisions that unleashed the SEALs' carnage and the coverups that prevented their crimes from coming to light. It is a necessary and rigorous investigation of the unchecked power of the military-and the harms enacted by and upon soldiers in America's name.
