About the Navy SEALs
U.S. Navy SEALs are the most notable component of the U.S. Navy's Naval Special Warfare Command, which itself is the maritime component of the U.S. Special Operations Command. While the number of SEALs remains relatively small, they have had an outsized impact everywhere they've operated; from the beaches of Normandy and Korea to the difficult terrain of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Navy SEALs have been described as "a unique breed of warrior," able to perform in exceedingly arduous sea, land, and air operating environments; day and night and under all weather conditions. They are highly trained and often tasked to conduct the most grueling and complex missions, which they have superbly and unfailingly accomplished throughout several generations and today after more than a decade at war.
