WHY PEOPLE WANT TO JOIN THE TEAM?

Alright, there you have it, the insight look of U.S Navy SEALs Team 6. Now as I approaching the end of my blog, I have to answer the question regarding why people are dying to be part of team.

Well in my understanding, citizen of USA are very patriotic and joining the team seem to be the highest level of service that American could contribute to their nation. SEALs Team 6, like other branches of military have taken the oath to protect U.S.A from enemy, foreign and domestic and SEALS TEAM 6 answer directly to President of The United States.

Next, SEALS TEAM 6 is the world-elite group of soldiers and the skills that they learned in years of training is extremely valuable. Most of them who retired quickly signing in with private military company due to their lucrative income. Private military company nowadays are involved in every major conflict in the world and they surely needs someone with years of military background to work as their employees.

Special Operation Vehicle and Aircraft

SEAL Team Six are able to be deployed in any location fast because they utilize the highly-customized vehicles and aircraft. These transportation  is vital for them to maintain the element of surprise when launching any strike at any enemy, as well as be able to survive the combat.

Tactical Gears

SEAL TEAM 6 will not survive in combat with weapons alone. Thus they also need protections, and equipment that allow them to operates at night. Members of SEAL Team Six are using some of the world best tactical gears that make them a deadly warriors

Since that SEAL TEAM 6 are deployed around the world and operates in any terrain and weather, they need to utilize some of the hi-tech firearms that could survive the harsh environment. Not only these weapon need to be tough like the men of SEAL TEAM 6, but need to be accurate and able to deliver lethal punch at great distant.

I have seen these weapons in action and trust me, they are as lethal as SEALS TEAM SIX

“CALL OF DUTY”- The Jobs of ST-6

When SEAL Team Six was first created it was devoted exclusively to counter-terrorism with a worldwide maritime responsibility; its objectives typically included targets such as ships, oil rigs, naval bases, coastal embassies, and other civilian or military bases that were accessible from the sea or inland waterways.

On certain operations small teams from SEAL Team Six were tasked with covertly infiltrating international high risk areas in order to carry out reconnaissance or security assessments of U.S. military facilities and embassies; and to give advice on improvements in order to prevent casualties in an event of a terrorist attack.

Although the unit was created as a maritime counter-terrorism unit, it has become a multi-functional special operations unit with multiple roles that include high-risk personnel/hostage extractions. Such operations include the successful rescue of Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted, the attempted rescue of Linda Norgrove, the successful rescue of American doctor Dilip Joseph[39] and in 1991 the successful recovery of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his family during a coup that deposed him.

After SEAL Team Six was disbanded and renamed, the official mission of the currently operating Naval Special Warfare Development Group is to test, evaluate, and develop technology and maritime, ground, and airborne tactics applicable to Naval Special Warfare forces such as Navy SEALs; however, it is presumed this is a small part of the group's work assignment and more of a cover.

DEVGRU's full mission is classified but is thought to include pre-emptive, pro-active counter-terrorist operations, counter-proliferation (efforts to prevent the spread of both conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction), as well as the elimination or recovery of high-value targets (HVTs) from unfriendly nations. DEVGRU is one of a handful of U.S. Special Mission Units authorized to use pre-emptive actions against terrorists and their facilities

DEVGRU and the Army's Delta Force train and deploy together on counter-terrorist missions usually as part of a joint special operations task force.

The Elite Training Course- “the birth of true killing machine”

Like all Special Operations Forces units that have an extremely intensive and high-risk training schedule, there can be serious injuries and deaths. SEAL Team Six/DEVGRU has lost several operators during training, including parachute accidents and close-quarters battle training accidents. It is presumed that the unit's assessment process for potential new recruits is different from what a SEAL operator experienced in his previous career, and much of the training tests the candidate's mental capacity rather than his physical condition, as he will have already completed Basic Underwater Demolitions/SEAL or the Navy EOD training pipeline.

Candidates are put through a variety of advanced training courses led by civilian or military instructors. These can include free-climbing, land warfare, communications, advanced unarmed combat techniques, defensive and offensive driving, advanced diving, and Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape (SERE) training. All candidates must perform at the top level during selection, and the unit instructors evaluate the candidate during the training process. Selected candidates are assigned to one of the Tactical Development and Evaluation Squadrons; the others are returned to their previous units. Unlike the other regular SEAL Teams, SEAL Team Six operators were able to go to almost any of the best schools anywhere and train in whatever they wanted depending on the unit's requirements.
