Special Warfare and Special Operations Officers lead some of the most strategic, secretive, and dangerous missions in the Navy. They must coordinate the flawless team effort, needed in virtually every environment, in order to accomplish each mission.

To some people, comfort is a warm spot under the covers. To Special Warfare and Special Operations Officers, it’s parachuting 500 feet into the frigid ocean, overseeing the disposal of an ocean-borne mine, traveling silently underwater in a SEAL Delivery Vehicle, or scurrying through a dense jungle in a combat situation. Only the most physically fit, strategically thinking team players qualify to orchestrate operations among this elite community. SEAL and Special Operations Officers are the experts and leaders in unconventional warfare. They quietly and efficiently destroy enemy targets, recover and dispose of explosives, and collect information on enemy operations.
