SEALS are special forces in America however a pass rate of 16 out of 83, isn't that roughly the same as RM or para training...and in Britain these are considered regular forces.

I always thought they were the American Royal Marines, SEAL Sea Air LandMr_Kiwi wrote:My understanding is that SEALs are the US version of SBS, in a very rough way at least. I mean the yanks have more special forces units than you can shake a stick at!
Before you insult someone, first walk a mile in their shoes, that way when you insult them, you are a mile away and you have their shoes.
Not quite. The Americans have the Marines, which is already a different part of the Army. They have there own funding and troops seperate from the Army, just like the Royal Marines. SEALS are part of the navy. They are just navy individuals that go on training to become Navy special forces.E5_Man wrote:I always thought they were the American Royal Marines, SEAL Sea Air LandMr_Kiwi wrote:My understanding is that SEALs are the US version of SBS, in a very rough way at least.

The 3 most common " special forces " from United States being the SEALS, Green Berets, and United States Army Special Forces.

Technically Seal Team Six doesn't exist anymore, I believe it's called DEVGRU or something now. I believe this is more like the CRW of the SAS rather than a "higher tier" of the SEAL's.
The SEAL's are definitely classed as fully fledged "tier one" Special Forces and have more all round training than Royal Marines or Para Reg.
For example every member is trained in HALO/HAHO, SCUBA and undertake resistance to interrogation training.
I couldn't really comment on how good the are when compared to other SF units cause to be honest I have no idea! All I know about them is from what I've read in books lol
However they certainly do a lot of work hunting down high value targets and also work along side the CIA rather than patrolling the streets of Iraq/Afghanistan which is what they'd be doing if they were the same "type" of unit as the Marines/Paras.

So as I said, basically the US version of SBS. Most recruits are from the navy/marines, their main skills revolve around boat work and swimming. And they are the same level of special forces as SBS/SAS/Delta and so on.Alfa wrote:Technically Seal Team Six doesn't exist anymore, I believe it's called DEVGRU or something now.

I saw this a few months ago and thought it was pretty interesting, some of the staff were pretty entertaining to watch, like the bloke "motiviating" them on the 4 mile beach run using the PA on his vehicle.
The UDT phase was, IMHO, very interesting, if only for the sheer amount of information needed to be taken onboard, on top of all the warry elements.
