United States Navy SEALs

SEALs Established 48 Years Ago Today

January 1st, 2010

January 1, 1962, the United States Navy’s SEALs were established.

SEALs (Special Warfare Operator – SO) are named after the environments in which they operate, the SEa, Air and Land, and are the foundation of Naval Special Warfare combat forces. They are organized, trained and equipped to conduct a variety of special operations missions in all operational environments. Today’s SEALs trace their history from the elite frogmen of World War II. Training is extremely demanding, both mentally and physically, producing the world’s best warriors in the sea, air, and on land.

SEALs are “The Elite of the Fleet.”

Happy Birthday!
