The SEALs’ name is derived from the fact that they can deploy anywhere across the globe, whether it be by Sea, Air and Land. The SEALs are a fighting force like no other. Their specialty is extreme, unconventional methods of warfare, counter terrorism and special reconnaissance missions.

Although hundreds of brave sailors volunteer for the SEAL program every year, only a handful of the most determined and motivated recruits graduate the intense training program. Often, sailors who begin SEAL training, known as BUD/s (basic underwater demolition), find that they don’t have the fortitude to finish training under the extraordinary strain and stress of the training. Other trainees drop out due to injuries sustained during training or the inability to perform certain tasks that must be comleted during SEAL training. Some SEALs attempt BUD/s more than once before finally succeeding and earning the right to wear the Navy SEAL Trident.
The history behind the Navy SEALs dates back to 1942. Personnel were needed for a special amphibious mission during WWII, so members of both the Army and Navy formed a small group to train specifically for this mission. Subsequently, other special groups have came into being that are especially designed for unconventional missions over the years. Finally, in 1966, the first designated SEAL team saw its inaugural combat action. From there the SEALs have evolved into the SEAL teams we know today.
