The Navy SEAL is the most respected and feared special operations force in the world. The SEAL name is derived from their capacity to operate in the sea, in the air and on land. Operating in total secrecy from public view, few forces in the world have the training to resist a Navy SEAL surprise attack. Compact in size and heavily armed, the 16-man Navy SEAL platform can stealthily attack under any circumstances and project a killing power far beyond its physical size.
Navy SEALs First Rule of Combat: The Most Efficient Movement is the
Silent One
The SEALs attack relies on the shock effect of swift, awesome violence to create a perception in the enemy's mind of the SEALs superiority. The SEALs objective is to first ambush the enemy and then quietly disappear from the chaos. The Navy SEAL has a great advantage because its men have unique physical abilities and state-of-the-art technology to reach and leave their target quickly and undetected.
Launching a SDV to the target requires the SEAL to remain underwater for hours. As SEAL teams move through water, the problems of dehydration, cold, underwater navigation and avoiding detection multiply in difficulty as distances increase. Swimming to and from a target becomes a mixture of planning, attitude, physical conditioning and luck. Every drop in water temperature corresponds to a rise in difficulty for survival. Wearing bulky dry suits and 50 pounds of extra insulation affects every movement. Simple communication between teammates becomes difficult. It is the SEALs master ability to work in the harsh sea environment that separates it from every other military unit in the world. Despite the demands of SDV operations, it remains the most important and potent offensive capability the SEAL has. Top-secret as to its technical capabilities, SDVs can carry explosives into a harbor or inland waterway, positioning them to be detonated at any given time. Of all the Navy SEAL weapons in tactics, SDVs remain the most difficult for enemies to defend against.
millimeter machine guns and two AT4 anti-armor rocket launchers. The special fuel bladders and the racing tires are self-sealing and can withstand a hit by a .50 caliber round without deflating or exploding. With an extended range of 600 miles on the ground, DPVs can remain camouflaged and hidden deep inside enemy territory to report back on enemy troop movements or provide fire support for raids on small, fixed targets. Depending on the specific mission, a typical SEAL platoon on a land warfare mission will carry a variety of weapons, such as the MK23 MOD 0 45 caliber offensive handgun, 9 MM SIG Sauer P226, M4A1 5.56 MM, AK-47, HK MP5 9 MM submachine gun, M14 sniper rifle, or the M2HB machine gun, to name a few. Some men may arm themselves with a M203 grenade launcher mounted on an M4 Carbine, M16A4 rifle or A4 rifle. Taken in combination, the armament and initial fire power of a SEAL platoon equals that of a 100-man company of regular infantry.
