US Navy SWCC

Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen are trained in all environments and are the masters of maritime Special Operations. SWCCs are superbly trained as maritime mobility operators who operate a variety of high-speed Special Operations Craft (boats) in open ocean, coastal and riverine environments.

SWCCs are required to utilize a combination of specialized training in maritime navigation, radio communications, boat/propulsion systems engineering, crew-served and personal weapons, parachuting, first aid and tactics in completion of Special Operation missions worldwide. Some duties in this field may include:
Conducting maritime insertions/extractions of SEALS and other Special Operations Forces.
Collecting information and intelligence on enemy military installations in coastal areas.
Performing parachute/helicopter insertion operations in support of missions.
Supporting military and civilian law enforcement agencies.
