Navy SEALs Training

The United States Navy's SEa, Air and Land Teams, commonly known as Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's principal special operations force and a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) as well as the maritime component of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
The unit's acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land; however, they are primarily considered a maritime force. In the War on Terror, SEALs been utilized almost exclusively for land-based operations, including Direct Action, Hostage Rescue, Counter Terrorism, Special Reconnaissance, unconventional warfare and foreign internal defense Operations. Without exception, all SEALs are male members of either the United States Navy or the United States Coast Guard.
