Today's seals 00:43.959 --> 00:46.181 reflect on the legacy of those who came 00:46.181 --> 00:47.990 before them , combat swimmers , 00:48.000 --> 00:50.069 demolition experts , patrol boat , 00:50.080 --> 00:52.759 commandos and intelligence operators . 00:53.200 --> 00:55.229 These small teams conducted 00:55.240 --> 00:57.389 reconnaissance gathered intelligence 00:57.400 --> 00:59.729 engaged in direct action missions and 00:59.740 --> 01:01.962 cleared the beaches for allied landings 01:01.962 --> 01:04.180 in places like Normandy , Iwo , Jima , 01:04.190 --> 01:07.919 Okinawa and Wan . The first Seal 01:07.930 --> 01:10.849 teams established in 1962 perfected 01:10.860 --> 01:13.129 unconventional warfare skills operating 01:13.139 --> 01:15.306 in the Mekong delta and the jungles of 01:15.306 --> 01:17.830 Vietnam . Immediately following the 01:17.839 --> 01:20.970 terrorist attack of 9 11 .

NSW 01:32.190 --> 01:34.079 has since turned its attention to 01:34.079 --> 01:36.620 strategic competition leveraging 20 01:36.629 --> 01:38.629 years of combat experience with new 01:38.629 --> 01:41.110 skills , technology and mission sets to 01:41.120 --> 01:43.419 deter in competition and prevail in 01:43.430 --> 01:46.519 conflict . Naval special warfare is a 01:46.529 --> 01:48.930 small and uniquely capable force . 01:49.339 --> 01:51.769 Approximately 10,000 members strong 01:51.779 --> 01:53.949 including active duty reservist and 01:53.959 --> 01:55.681 civilian teammates who provide 01:55.681 --> 01:57.903 capability and options to the fleet and 01:57.903 --> 02:01.889 joint force . NSW forces are 02:01.900 --> 02:04.360 spread across the globe and primarily 02:04.370 --> 02:06.592 organized around seven major commands . 02:06.592 --> 02:09.410 10 navy seal teams , three special boat 02:09.419 --> 02:11.641 teams and various supporting commands . 02:13.639 --> 02:16.020 Seals and special warfare . Combat 02:16.029 --> 02:18.600 crewmen or Swick undergo some of the 02:18.610 --> 02:20.388 toughest and most comprehensive 02:20.388 --> 02:22.499 military training in the world at the 02:22.499 --> 02:24.277 Naval Special Warfare Center in 02:24.277 --> 02:26.660 Colorado , California . The rigorous 02:26.669 --> 02:28.869 assignment selection and training 02:28.880 --> 02:31.539 process is beyond demanding and must 02:31.550 --> 02:33.779 produce mature , highly skilled , 02:33.789 --> 02:36.080 culturally attuned naval commandos who 02:36.089 --> 02:38.145 can be trusted to accomplish some of 02:38.145 --> 02:40.145 our nation's most sensitive no fail 02:40.145 --> 02:43.229 missions . NSW Center offers more than 02:43.240 --> 02:45.296 80 advanced training courses such as 02:45.296 --> 02:47.419 survival , evasion , resistance and 02:47.429 --> 02:49.820 escape or sere school sniper and dive 02:49.830 --> 02:52.270 training and the combat medic course to 02:52.279 --> 02:55.009 name a few naval special warfare's 02:55.020 --> 02:57.679 greatest asset is our people from our 02:57.690 --> 02:59.639 skilled seal operators and special 02:59.649 --> 03:01.960 warfare combat crewmen to our dedicated 03:01.970 --> 03:03.970 combat support personnel , civilian 03:03.970 --> 03:06.279 teammates and reserve force . We are a 03:06.289 --> 03:08.809 united and formidable team driven by a 03:08.820 --> 03:12.289 shared purpose . The maritime focused 03:12.300 --> 03:14.360 multi-purpose combat force known as 03:14.369 --> 03:16.480 Navy Seals , take their name from the 03:16.480 --> 03:18.536 elements in which they operate sea , 03:18.536 --> 03:21.509 air and land . They are motivated by 03:21.520 --> 03:24.089 the saying the only easy day was 03:24.100 --> 03:27.149 yesterday . As expert war fighters in 03:27.160 --> 03:29.216 the maritime environment , Seals are 03:29.216 --> 03:30.938 often tasked with planning and 03:30.938 --> 03:32.549 executing missions , special 03:32.549 --> 03:34.382 reconnaissance , direct action , 03:34.399 --> 03:36.789 unconventional warfare , maintaining 03:36.800 --> 03:39.550 forward presence , foreign internal 03:39.559 --> 03:42.570 defense information warfare , security 03:42.580 --> 03:45.100 assistance , counter drug operations 03:45.139 --> 03:47.190 and personnel recovery and hostage 03:47.199 --> 03:51.070 rescue . Swick operate and maintain 03:51.080 --> 03:53.839 specialized boats for NSW missions and 03:53.850 --> 03:56.160 are driven by the motto on time on 03:56.169 --> 03:59.669 target , never quit . Special boat 03:59.679 --> 04:01.790 teams are an assault force trained in 04:01.790 --> 04:03.457 boating and weapons tactics , 04:03.457 --> 04:05.679 techniques and procedures that focus on 04:05.679 --> 04:07.529 clandestine infiltration and 04:07.539 --> 04:09.761 exfiltration of seals and other special 04:09.761 --> 04:11.929 operation forces as well as support to 04:11.940 --> 04:15.669 the fleet . The Nsw force multiplier is 04:15.679 --> 04:17.809 its combat support and combat service 04:17.820 --> 04:20.380 support sailors and civilians whose 04:20.390 --> 04:22.612 areas of expertise sustain the needs of 04:22.612 --> 04:25.230 operating forces in the theater at all 04:25.239 --> 04:28.570 levels of war to perform high value 04:28.579 --> 04:30.801 missions . Seals require a multitude of 04:30.801 --> 04:32.801 delivery methods to include surface 04:32.801 --> 04:35.359 Submersible and unmanned platforms . 04:36.309 --> 04:39.250 The future of NSW is the man machine 04:39.260 --> 04:41.839 team providing mass and precision , 04:41.850 --> 04:45.470 asymmetrical advantage down range to 04:45.480 --> 04:47.591 address the challenges of anti access 04:47.591 --> 04:50.630 area denial . NSWS unmanned systems 04:50.640 --> 04:52.440 offer greater autonomy and 04:52.450 --> 04:54.790 interoperability to extend access , 04:54.799 --> 04:57.279 ensure decision advantage and increase 04:57.290 --> 04:59.450 fidelity of effects in multi domain 04:59.459 --> 05:02.579 environments . As the global security 05:02.589 --> 05:04.422 environment becomes increasingly 05:04.422 --> 05:06.910 complex , we must ensure that our elite 05:06.920 --> 05:08.920 maritime special operations force 05:08.929 --> 05:10.818 adapts and thrives in the face of 05:10.818 --> 05:13.019 strategic competition and integrated 05:13.029 --> 05:16.410 deterrent should conflict arise ? 05:16.440 --> 05:19.149 Nsw operators are uniquely positioned 05:19.160 --> 05:21.279 forward to fight alongside the joint 05:21.290 --> 05:23.720 force , our allies and our partners 05:23.839 --> 05:26.059 projecting maritime domain dominance . 05:27.850 --> 05:30.179 Naval special warfare is a ready and 05:30.190 --> 05:32.579 capable force prepared to compete and 05:32.589 --> 05:33.709 win for the nation .
