What You Must Know About The Different Units Of DEVGRU

What You Must Know About The Different Units Of DEVGRU
There is no question that DEVGRU, just like Delta Force, is one of the most elusive, secretive and most talked about units in the world. As a part of JSOC, it operates within the most hostile environments, capturing high value targets and carrying out the most dangerous missions. Within this elusive unit, there is a whole hierarchy, structure and organization with different units that most people do not know about. We will cover all the different squadrons within Seal Team Six and discuss their history, missions and training.

Many people don't know this, but 5 members of Gold Squadron were a part of the Black Hawk Down incident. Four SEALs rode in a completely open Humvee with the initial convoy. They were all shot during the firefight. Howard Wasdin, who died in a plane crash not long ago, was one of the men in the Humvee.

Is there anything that the four assault squadrons do uniquely? Meaning-does one assault squadron have a unique speciality? in one manner of assault operations?

This would make sense because then each squadron would have a speciality and be more efficient or oriented to complete a certain operation. Or are they really just all the same pretty much, same text different font type of thing. Same Squadron different patch?

Do I believe an actual report with numbers from the US government or some random guy on the internet who says he has 2 brothers in the teams and says he's only stating facts? Tough decision...

[@tylerlawlerDEVGRU]

I wonder which Operator has the highest kill count...

[@the-spy-network]

If you listen to some of the podcasts they bring out, you'll come to learn that they somehow keep track of this themselves, but I'm not sure how that would work or if that is even true.

[@cfrancis325]

Not "plank owners", "plank holders".

[@the-spy-network]

Incorrect, they are referred to as Plank Owners.

Do you have to take an oath to defend america and the constitution to become a Navy Seal?

[@the-spy-network]

I think so, yes.

Keep letting the enemy have more info. Perfect

That's sort of a compliment, I think..

Slabinski was accused of excessive force which he denied. Your assertion that he committed war crimes is ridiculous and careless.

[@the-spy-network]

He was expelled from DEVGRU for a reason... the first thing your lawyer will tell you is to deny all allegations. This is not rocket science imo. Whether he did it or not, you don't get expelled from a unit like that because you use curse words or don't clean after a shit.

[@gd5812]

@@the-spy-network you clearly stated he got booted for war crimes…now it’s whether or not he did it? You couldn’t even get the proper squadron correct for the operation he was apart of. If you nerds actually served, you’d put a little more thought into making this content factually accurate.

[@the-spy-network]

Task force Blue was in Takur Ghar, but it was the Red Squadron. Later Slabinski would serve in Blue Squadron as well, hence were my confusion came from. People make mistakes, even nerds who are passionate about this stuff. You shouldn't focus on mistakes to much, you might miss a lot of beautiful stuff happening ;).

Richard Marcinko is probably not the best person to quote for this, as he is a documented liar interested in selling books.

sad that nothing is a secret anymore

I think it's safe to say that a lot of SF and military stuff in general is still very secret.

@@the-spy-network , not really classified elites units have been over exposed since the mid to late 60's 70's and very early 80's but on a good note the enemy may know what cards we have but their are no real secrets on their end either

I think there's more elite secret and covert units than we think, tbh. We only know what they allow us to know.

Although I would definitely like to cover the uncovered, I'm hopeful that secret units and their personnel would like to stay out of the shadows, and don't tell it just for clout.

If Russian intelligence knew enough to know there was a team 6 team 1 and team 2, I think they would probably know there was no team 3, 4, and 5.

I’m a 22 year old woman and I’m training to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. I’m a civilian and I want to go enlisted. I know five other women that are training for BUD/S, one of them is in BUD/S Prep right now. What advice would you give for women that want to be SEALs? How does the SEAL community feel about women joining them? Do you think women should be allowed to become Navy SEALs? Most female SEAL candidates struggle with carrying the boats and logs, doing pull ups, having grip strength and completing the “Dirty Name” on the obstacle course. Also, a lot of female SEAL candidates break their legs or develop stress fractures. Women have smaller and thinner bones than men.

[@TheAbyssGazedBack]

i would recommend doing compound lifts and keep pushing yourself to add weight while keeping proper form - don’t need injuries keeping you from training. You’ll want to be able to pick up 225 lb body with your kit on Mental toughness is nonnegotiable. If you want it bad enough u can do it. I find nick lavery’s story an incredible testament to what is possible by challenging your thinking. His book is excellent as well.. Godspeed to you.

​@firerose4271 Women should be allowed however the standards shouldn't change the Army is currently back and fourth with this atm. Really it's the Government who is causing issues. If most men are failing it that says something about it. Women by default are more likely to have injuries vs a man who is at peak fitness and mental fitness. Wish you the best of luck, but if they change the standards more will die in the future, missions could be failed all in the name of political correctness. Know this your enemyis trying to kill you. They don't care about it. And most of all the Veteran Affairs doesn't care that you were a seal and or a cook. And that's the hard truth.

The black squadron had almost nothing to do with the bin Laden read. A team of CIA agents tracked him down, and red squadron was the main squadron on the compound. It wasn’t black squadron. Black squad were in Afghanistan, doing their deployment red squadron had just came home from deployment. They were on vacation in Miami when they got the call, but everyone needed to report to Virginia Beach at the compound they train for about two months. Then they flew to Afghanistan and then they took the 90 minute flight Pakistan

[@the-spy-network]

There is seriously no way of knowing this for certain. Black squadron is an extremely secretive unit, and multiple sources have stated that Black Squadron was highly likely to be involved in the intelligence gathering.
