Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) are based in Virginia, and is responsible for U.S. counterterrorist operations in the maritime environment, however, they were previously know as MOB 6, Team Six, and MareSFAC.
The Navy Seals began in the Vietnam War, on January 1, 1962. They are a very important part of the Navy, they are Maritime Special Operations Force, in the Air, Sea, and Land.
They are:
- Special reconnaissance
- Direct actions
- Foreign Internal defense
- Counter-terrorism
- Unconventional warfare
- Counter-drug operations
- Personal recovery
- Hydrographic Reconnaissance
The Navy Seals are a branch to be proud of, and we are very proud of them as Americans--- mothers, sisters, wives, aunts, and grandmothers.
Their Motto: "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday"
"It Pays To Be A winner" We as Americans have so much to be proud of, and especially the men and women who protect us 24/7, without our knowledge. I hope they know how gratified we are for their stealthy actions; they take for the American people, as they put their lives in jeopardy; to protect ours.
From these experts are selected the Naval Special Warfare Development Group. You can not join the unit it is a Counter Terrorism unit within US Naval Special Warfare Command; members are recruited from other Seal teams, making this group the
cream of the crop. The zenith of all trained Seals Group is what protects America.
Training takes six to seven months of required skills so they could perform under fire. Many times they have to blend in with civilians throughout a covert operation, so it is vital they can speak different languages. Working together the unit worldwide can communicate with the people of different countries.
Each Seal was selected because of his diverse skills, to become a member of the unit. Selected candidates will usually be in their 30's. And this is just the beginning, because they have to prove they are the best of the best by performing to the highest level in the training courses.
Training comprised of:
- Free-climbing
- Advanced Unarmed Combat Techniques
- Defense and Offensive Driving
- Diving
- Survival
- Evasion
- Resistance
- Escape
- Parachuting
- Basic Underwater Demolitions
This training is rigorous and is the highest risk level known, and at least half will fail the course, and be sent back to their previous unit. There have been a few serious injuries or death among the trainees; however, this training is necessary to make it as realistic as possible.
The Seals who past the course will be in the Naval Special Warfare Development Group(DEVGRU) and will be ready to meet any challenge they encounter.
I say God Bless Them All!
