Navy SEALs

SEALs, which stand for Sea, Air, Land, are the U.S. Navy's primary and most acclaimed special operations forces unit. Operating mainly in tight 16-man groups, SEALs are capable of conducting top-secret ground and water-based missions.

SEALs are trained extensively and rigorously in and around San Diego, California, and Norfolk, Virginia, to withstand and, in fact, thrive in the face of personal, physical, environmental and other challenges. They trace their history to the frogmen of World War II, although new threats -- including terrorism -- have forced them to evolve substantially in recent years.

SEALs take on missions, many of them classified, throughout the world. Larger teams are often divided into "cells" -- i.e. an evasion and recovery cell, force protection cell, sniper cell, etc.
