THE ULTIMATE

EVOLUTION IN COMBAT

or decades, SEAL teams have been elite U.S fighting forces. Naval Special

F

Warfare and the SEALs evolved from the necessities of World War II amphibious
combat. Before delivering thousands of soldiers onto beaches in landing craft,
underwater demolition teams wearing swim masks and fins had to sneak in from the
ocean, recon the area and remove hazards, sometimes with high explosives. SEAL
teams are small, highly lethal attack squads of stealthy soldiers. By 1962 this
method of fighting had a name: Unconventional Warfare, and the SEALs were
formed to meet the needs of a new type of combat.

SEALs are exceptionally well-trained, tactically intelligent students of warfare,
masters of hand-to-hand combat, and experts with any weapon from knives
to heavy machine guns. While a single SEAL is dangerous, an entire
fireteam is even more so. When the smoke clears,
SEALs are victorious because of teamwork. In a
firefight, no terrorist threat is a match for an
efficient SEAL fireteam. Each member
is trained to protect other team
members, never hesitating to
act for the good of the
mission, and the team,
in every
combat
scenario.

Now you are the commanding officer of a four-man SEAL fireteam. You will deploy
on missions to neutralize terrorist threats from South America to Russia. Take on
explosive urban firefights, breach hardened defenses, rescue non-combatants or
capture terrorist assets. The success of each mission will depend on extreme stealth
and the lethal teamwork that marks every SEAL operation.

When you are ready for SEAL warfare online, join up to 15 other players and take
sides as a SEAL, Terrorist, or other special operations units. This is the true test of
teamwork. Each battlefield will offer even the most seasoned soldier a tactical
challenge. The headset will keep you in voice contact with every other teammate so
you can adapt your strategy even as the bullets fly.

Terrorism is a threat to freedom all over the world and
the unconventional tactics of U.S. Navy SEALs are
needed. This is the time. When they picked a fight,
they never planned on fighting these guys.

SINGLE PLAYER TEAM

STRUCTURE AND MOVEMENT

The Team you command consists of two elements:

• Specter (You) and Jester are Able Element.

• Wardog and Vandal are Bravo Element.
The SEALs in Bravo operate close together and execute your orders as a pair. You can

send them almost anywhere in the op area, giving you flexibility in suppression of
enemy forces, ambushes and extraction of personnel.

You can send Jester a short distance from you to execute some orders, but one of
his primary jobs is to cover you, so he will never travel too far from your position. If
you move away from his position, Jester always joins up with you.

OTHER SPECIAL FORCES

During certain missions, your Bravo Element will be replaced with special forces
from other allied countries.

SINGLE PLAYER MISSION SUCCESS

The success of your mission is measured by several factors. Perfection for any factor
is 100% for completing all objectives. You are graded from A to F.

STEALTH

One thing that makes SEALs deadly is their ability to strike undetected. Each time
your team is discovered and the enemy communicates your presence to others, you
lose points for stealth.

ACCURACY

Hitting targets increases your accuracy ratings, while missed shots lower it. The
accuracy of your teammates is also counted

TEAMWORK

Use your team for cooperative engagements. The more you use your teammates
during the course of a mission, the higher your Teamwork rating will be.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES

These are the most important Mission
Objectives and have the largest impact
on mission success. Primary objectives
must be completed to accomplish a
mission.

SINGLE PLAYER MISSION FAILURE

Your mission fails under the following conditions:

• You are incapacitated.

• A mission critical character, such as a

hostage or escortee, is killed.

• A mission critical target escapes.

• A key ally is killed.

• You abort a mission.

• All three of your SEAL teammates

are incapacitated.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

You can fail a secondary objective and
still succeed at the overall mission, but
failed secondary objectives lower your
overall grade.

PLAYING THE ONLINE GAME

ONLINE MISSION TYPES

As you cycle through Game Lobbies on the Briefing Room screen, check under
Game Details on the lower left side of the screen. The mission type appears at the
top of the list to help you decide which game to join.

Breach

SEALs attempt to break through barriers and destroy key targets in a terrorist
stronghold. Terrorists use their fortifications to prevent the SEAL incursion. Air
strikes are available on BREACH maps.

Demolition

Find the bomb and blow up the opposition headquarters. Get hold of the bomb and
you become the hunted as enemy troops try to kill you and your team before their
headquarters is destroyed. Lose the bomb and you’re on defense. Plant the bomb in
the enemy base and prevent it from being defused by the enemy until it blows up.

Suppression

This is a pure fight to the death between SEALs and terrorists with a five minute time
limit. The winner has the most men left standing. Suppression maps can be set to
respawn and players will instantly come back to life after being killed to rejoin the fight.

Escort

Key personnel need to be moved to a secure location. SEALs win by getting at least
two VIPs to the extraction point or killing all terrorists. Terrorists win by eliminating
all VIPs or all SEALs.

Extraction

This is a hostage situation. SEALs win by killing all terrorists or escorting at least
two hostages to the extraction point. Terrorists win by killing the SEALs. If the
terrorists murder a hostage, it counts as a rescued hostage for the SEALs.

ARE YOU INTERESTED

IN A SEAL CAREER ?

DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WEAR
THE TRIDENT OR SWCC PIN?

THE REAL WORK—FIND, FIX AND FINISH

he terrorist attacks on America September 11, 2001 and the escalation of

T

large-scale, indiscriminate attacks worldwide demands that the U.S. military
adapt to this new kind of war being waged. To meet
the challenge, Special Operations has become the
force of choice to combat terrorism, and Naval
Special Warfare is leading the fight. At the tip of the
NSW spear are SEALs (sea, air, land) commandos
and SWCCs (Special Warfare Combatant-craft
Crewmen), boat warriors who operate and maintain
the state-of-the art, high performance surface craft
used in overseas coastal patrol and interdiction, and
in support of maritime special operations missions.

Naval Special Warfare employed the largest number of
SEALs and SWCCs in its history during Operation
IRAQI FREEDOM. NSW forces were instrumental in
numerous special reconnaissance and direct action
missions including securing oil infrastructures and off­shore gas and oil terminals to avoid ecological catastrophe;
clearing strategic waterways to enable the first
humanitarian aid to be delivered to the vital
port city of Umm Qasr; capturing high value
targets; carrying out raids on suspected
chemical, biological and radiological sites; and
conducting the first successful POW rescue
since WWII. They are known for their trigger
discipline—no SEAL or SWCC operators were
injured or killed in accomplishing these missions.

During Operation ENDURING FREEDOM in
Afghanistan, Naval Special Warfare conducted

45

advanced force operations, gathered perishable intelligence and provided eyes on target
to positively “find” the enemy and destroy more than 500,000 pounds of explosives
and weapons. NSW forces exploited tactical intelligence and conducted timely
operations to “fix and finish,” and capture or eliminate the terrorist threat. While much
of the world’s focus has shifted to Iraq during OIF, NSW forces continue to operate in
Afghanistan, routing out Taliban, Al Qaeda and enemy terrorist forces.

The Global War on Terror is a long-term engagement of the utmost importance.
While there have been many operational successes in the war on terror, the fight is
far from over. One of the challenges facing Special Operations Forces in general,
and NSW, in particular, is the considerable time and resources it takes to train an
individual to become a highly skilled, effective warrior. SEALs spend more than 2
years in training, and SWCCs, more than 1 year, before being deployed with a
Squadron. Naval Special Warfare is exploring ways to grow its forces to meet future
wartime requirements, without diminishing the quality of its individual war fighters.

CONSIDER A CAREER IN NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE

Are you motivated to succeed? Are you determined to persevere? Are you ready to
accelerate your life?

NSW is continuously seeking smart, fit, hardworking young men from all
backgrounds to join its elite team of special operations forces. SEAL and SWCC
training is extremely demanding, both mentally and physically. It’s meant to be. The
end result is a cadre of the best-trained warriors in the world. During training,
instructors focus on three core pillars:

Men of Character: The nature of the NSW mission requires men who are disciplined,
focused, mentally tough and determined to persevere. They are dependable, mature,
highly educated professionals who are counted on for their uncompromising integrity
and good judgment under extreme stress. These men take pride in upholding the
Navy’s Core Values—Honor, Courage and Commitment.

Physical: The nature of NSW missions demands men who are physically fit and
capable of operating in every environment, especially the water.

Technical: Finally, maritime Special Operations require operators who are intelligent

and can learn new tasks quickly.

Throughout NSW’s rigorous training, students are

taught how to think, not what to think. In addition

to developing experts in special reconnaissance

and direct action missions—the skill sets needed

to combat terrorism—NSW forces are taught the

tactical skills, advanced technologies and

unconventional mindset to succeed against any

enemy.

Careers in NSW offer unmatched challenges,

adventure and job satisfaction to motivated

candidates. To find out more about becoming a

SEAL or SWCC, visit NSW’s official websites at
