advanced force operations, gathered perishable intelligence and provided eyes on target
to positively “find” the enemy and destroy more than 500,000 pounds of explosives
and weapons. NSW forces exploited tactical intelligence and conducted timely
operations to “fix and finish,” and capture or eliminate the terrorist threat. While much
of the world’s focus has shifted to Iraq during OIF, NSW forces continue to operate in
Afghanistan, routing out Taliban, Al Qaeda and enemy terrorist forces.
The Global War on Terror is a long-term engagement of the utmost importance.
While there have been many operational successes in the war on terror, the fight is
far from over. One of the challenges facing Special Operations Forces in general,
and NSW, in particular, is the considerable time and resources it takes to train an
individual to become a highly skilled, effective warrior. SEALs spend more than 2
years in training, and SWCCs, more than 1 year, before being deployed with a
Squadron. Naval Special Warfare is exploring ways to grow its forces to meet future
wartime requirements, without diminishing the quality of its individual war fighters.
CONSIDER A CAREER IN NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE
Are you motivated to succeed? Are you determined to persevere? Are you ready to
accelerate your life?
NSW is continuously seeking smart, fit, hardworking young men from all
backgrounds to join its elite team of special operations forces. SEAL and SWCC
training is extremely demanding, both mentally and physically. It’s meant to be. The
end result is a cadre of the best-trained warriors in the world. During training,
instructors focus on three core pillars:
Men of Character: The nature of the NSW mission requires men who are disciplined,
focused, mentally tough and determined to persevere. They are dependable, mature,
highly educated professionals who are counted on for their uncompromising integrity
and good judgment under extreme stress. These men take pride in upholding the
Navy’s Core Values—Honor, Courage and Commitment.
Physical: The nature of NSW missions demands men who are physically fit and
capable of operating in every environment, especially the water.
Technical: Finally, maritime Special Operations require operators who are intelligent
and can learn new tasks quickly.
Throughout NSW’s rigorous training, students are
taught how to think, not what to think. In addition
to developing experts in special reconnaissance
and direct action missions—the skill sets needed
to combat terrorism—NSW forces are taught the
tactical skills, advanced technologies and
unconventional mindset to succeed against any
enemy.
Careers in NSW offer unmatched challenges,
adventure and job satisfaction to motivated
candidates. To find out more about becoming a
SEAL or SWCC, visit NSW’s official websites at
