From the SEA, AIR, and LAND -- the U.S. Navy's SEAL Teams are the most feared and respected commando force in the U.S. Military - if not the world. They are the most Elite and highly trained force on the face of the earth as well as the most flexible. Formed in 1962 by President J. F. Kennedy as a maritime counterpart to the U.S. Army Special Forces, the SEAL's have amassed a remarkable history of successes and have become legendary in their exploits - both on and off duty. The Teams have operated in every hellhole known to modern warfare and come away with many victories, some bruises and a vast history of achievements. Most SEAL missions are unreported and unknown to the general public - and due to focus, dedication and training, hugely successful. SEALs are trained to operate in small units - one or two men, up to platoon strength of sixteen. They work best in squads of eight or fewer. Most missions are clandestine in nature - planned in excruciating detail and executed with precision and swiftness. During peacetime SEAL's find themselves with the same rigorous training as during war - the belief being that the more you sweat in peacetime, the less you will bleed in war.
