I was in SWCC in the 90's and we had a very similar type pf training but not quite as difficult. While SEALS's may not be SWCC's, SEAL officers command SWCC units.
I would think that the idea and need for this team came from the rivers of vietnam. a great idea to have a team like this because going through a river is not the same as assaullting a beach.
I thought for the most part SWICK took care of business from aboard their boat. The shore party would consist of SEAL team members and the like. Aboard the boat, I would imagine, they all would fight the same way, dumping everything they have during threat contact and quickly disengage. When the smoke clears the boat is gone and all that is left behind is confusion and dead bodies...
@weeeeed808 If you have any doubt, consider driving the best multi-terrain combat team up a one way highway lined from side to side with enemy sentries and combatants. SWCC and SEAL fall into the same training program. Both are Special Warfare and both are high danger and incredibly disciplined and well trained. A mistake from either would be a disaster. Make no mistake, SWCC is as much a part of the SEAL mission as the SEAL themselves.
I'm sure that SEALs have a lot of respect for Swicks. I'm also sure that Swicks have a lot of respect for SEALs. Since they are the ones actually in harm's way, isn't that the most important thing? They are brothers in arms. Both units risk their lives in defense of their nation and deserve our respect.
I never truly appreciated how badass these guys are until I went through FMSS. Jesus, the training and other SF guys go through is damn intense. I remember back in bootcamp the "Dive Motivators" I think they were called would PT for hours every morning on top of regular bootcamp beatdowns/PT.
This is AWESOME, though I wish the resolution was better and not so pixelated. You never hear about the SWCC, other than in passing and in book memoirs, or a truncated history that doesn't explicitly validate the differences that actually exist between the swicks and the SEALs, but when differentiated, often times only briefly. Thanks for posting.
@KAEkvall actually there is a very good story on SWCC in Iraq, go to warboats.org and they have an article about some SWCC boats going up a river to either patrol and area or check it out but when they got there they got ambushed. RPGs and ak's opened fire and two guys got it really bad but they came out alive and ok. They then called in an F-15 (because the sand dunes covered their line of fire, and said goodbye to old towel boy. SWCC's go through some tough stuff. Pirates. SEALs respect SWCCs.
@MH6M No..Actually I have not been to both units, but I have been a ground operator, and worked close enough with SEALS to know the difference. Look at the training for SWICK..a 2 week indoctrination, and a 22 week long school.. SEALS..over 12 months, close to 18 months, with higher entry exam scores required..that's how I would know =)
@Klown594 It does not relect anything. PJ training is longer than SEAL training. A SF medical NCO takes longer to train than a PJ. Night Stalkers take aprox 5 years before they are full mission qualified. By that logic, I would say that Night Stalkers have the hardest training.
@MH6M Have you ever served in the SF community? If you have then you would know that training is continuous..swick, seals and every other SF branch has a different mission statement..,are you familiar with tear levels?? Who is at the top??Not swick..they are a support element not a ground combat element..look at my original statement, read it twice and do your research..it's common sense that SEAL training is harder..you have a computer..look up the training cycle, and requirements..
@Klown594 Your statement point to no more than a dick measuring copetition.
SEALs are not Swicks, Swicks are not SEALs. Thei trainng pipielines are different. Yeah SBTs main objective is to support other SOF units, still they can operate individually. They all work twoards the same goal. Judging whos got it harder is childish.
Those dudes are about the most invincible heavy surgical firepower I've ever seen. Airplanes carrying large bombs have a purpose, but these guys are just what the doctor ordered for closer, quieter work.
That GE electric minigun is tits on a Ritz! I think you could go logging in a forest with that!
I was privilaged to fly on several close air support missions as backup for river rescue in OV10 Broncos.We loitered the area and waited for call for help. Always saw the squadron following the lead boat. These sailors had a very very dangerous mission in the Vietnam war.
@dKyle265x like the guy said at the start of the video they get spec ops into places and out. but then needed they give support, and or give the f8ckers hell
These guy's are definatley some of the best soldiers ever seen...
so i believe me i have alot of respect for them, but FIRE POWER is 2 words... just sayin- i know it ain't really relavant but just wanted to point that out
I want to thank all the soldiers serving overseas for their steadfast comitment of protecting our country. We owe our freedom and liberities to the men and women serving in the US military
Pardon the language, but DAMN that is an ASSLOAD of firepower on such a small boat. Good thing water is such a good shock absorber or the thing would tip over from the recoil. :D
Lol well believe it or not....the navy is infact there for the purpose of war and killing and what not, which is not for the likes of the village people i wouldn't imagin haha.
Green thumb Im gonna put my self right there. Yes its an easy ambushed target but its to take out the enemy so other people can beable to sleep in their beds with out having to hear artillery shells droping.I think swcc is pretty cool they work right next to the seals and the enemy fears us because they never know when we are gonna drop in on them. Not to many people can have a chance to say they have done this. It takes some guts to put your life on the line for the guy next.
i meen thats some intense shit right there but do you really want to put urself on the narrow path that could easily be ambushed where your only escape is back and forth its takes more than kahunas thats for sure but the comradery and adrenaline rush is what i want to go for and those boats are equipped wit some heavy artillery..
