INTRODUCTION, FIRE FIGHT AT DAWN Engaging the enemy is always a shock. At first sight you feel utterly paralyzed for a moment that seems like years. Your senses kick into overdrive as if you had suddenly come ofive, yet all that you're aware of are things that somehow comfort yousweat rolling down your face, the brackish stench of the delta, your inability to move-things that tef! you yes, you are afraid. Then just as suddenly all thought dis-

appears and your muscles take over. But there is a vast distance between the wilf it moves 50 (fuidfy to position the weapon, and the weapon the way its muzzle flashes though it neither kicks nor makes a sound. We had just paid a visit to an unguarded VC munitions cache a few clicks north of

and the act. Your body surprises you the way

the Dong Tranh River. The boys charged it to blow, and I made sure the transmitter was dialed in right. My boys were good; we were out of there in less than ten minutes. We didn't want to coli attention to ourselves, so we fit out for our extraction site thinking we'd set the charge just before the slick touched down. We'd been on the trOll for only a few minutes when I heard voices. Wilt motioned that he heard them too, but before he could investigate, we came under fire. Rear security Johnson Identified the source, and I immediately signaled the team to form a temporary defensive perimeter while I looked for secure cover. Red was mowin' 'em down with his Stoner, but the fire was coming from several directions. We were really being peppered, and I called in for a couple of Black Ponies to provide cover fire for our extraction. When we held our fire we heard Charlie whistling and yelling. He was using reconnaissance by fire, and he knew exactly where we were. It was time to move out. We retreated under the rover of Red's smokin' gun, crawling into a grove of nipa palms and deep brush. Seawolves in ten. We'd have to stay out of sight until then. We were in a secure spot-plenty of cover and a good field of view. It seemed like we'd be in good shope until the birds come and did their thing. All of a sudden Johnson signals he's got a VC coming up the trail. I could see he'll pass only a few yards from us. I gave Johnny the go-ahead, and he moves out to the side of the trail. When Charlie entered the lone, Johnny subdued him without a sound. Judging by the Simonev the guy carried, I'd guess he was a sniper trying to get closer to the action. It's a good thing he was alone. I'd have hated to see us surrounded. When I heard the roar of the choppers, f radioed to direct their fire. Right about then I sow ten to fifteen VC making a run for the munitions bunker. I turned on the handheld transmitter and waited for all of them to get close before f flicked the switches. The bunker blew sky high, af! of that ammo fueling the explosion. Meanwhile, the Wolves were busy as bees. They tore into Charlie with their M60s, just beating the crap out of him. That's all it took. Vl'hat VC that weren't blown to bits fled like the possessed. We were out of there, waving to the birds as they headed home, and circling bock around to search the remains ond radio for a dust off.

PART I - SET UP THE BIRTH OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY SEALS The following is synopsized from SEALS IN AU/ON, by Kevin Dockery, © 1991 by Bill Fawcett & Associates. Published by arrangement with Bill Fawcett & Associates. Reprinted by permission of Avon Books, a division of The Hearst Corporation. Of all branches of the American Armed Forces, none has evolved with more deliberation and scientific methodology than the United States Navy SEAls (SEa Air Land). In roughly twenty years, the organization that began with a need for a team of specialists was groomed to the order of American militalY strategists. The teams were trained according to the specific conditions of world order at any particular time until they developed into the elite fighting and reconnaissance force they are today. A result of the continual evolution of ideas on training. equipment and the general mission of the team, the SEAls are an ideal model for military special forces whose tasks are based on specific need. The experiences of the first underwater demolitionists during WW.1I and just after provided the basis for the training programs today's SEAls use. It all began on May 6, 1943 when Admiral Eamest J. King. Chief of Naval Operations, issued special orders for the genesis of Naval Demolition Units to be used in the invasion of Normandy. A team of crack sailors in peak physical condition would complete quick and intense training in underwater demolition and rubber boat handling before being shipped to North Africa. The original thirteen-man team, joined by several demolition-qualified volunteers, namely Navy Seabees, were placed under the command of lieutenant Fred Wise of the Navy Seabees.

On July 10, 1943, Allied naval forces surrounded one third of Sicily for Operation Husky. The crack team, called the first Naval Demolition Combat Unit (NCDU), had been trained to identify and demolish enemy targets and obstacles that would potentially hinder the passage of landing craft. Finding few targets, the NCDUs undertook an equally challenging task. During the initial stages of the invasion, enemy aircraft had destroyed a number of Allied water craft. To minimize the clogging of landing sites by sunken craft, the The following is excerpted from NCDUs were ordered to destroy wrecked Allied boats.

The village was in a free-fire The training in the Florida swamps was gruelin& as the instructors stressed heavily the importance of clear thinking under duress. Performing operations against more experienced instructors and amidst such nuisances as alligators and poisonous water snakes was too much for many men. Over 40% of the recruits voluntarily dropped out of the program. Those who remained were rugged, confident individuals in peak physical form, able to demolish nearly any obstacle with explosives and, more importantly, to complete objectives under severe physical and mental stress. The graduates of the first Fort Pierce program were formed into six-man teams to be deployed in England for what was to become D-Day.

SEAL Chief James Watson, QMCS -Pointman

In England, the demolition specialists joined forces with Army personnel to form Gap Assault Teams (GATs). The NCDUs were to operate from rubber boats, clearing obstacles above the high water line. The Army, in tum, would clear the beaches with tanks and tank dozers. The forces trained heavily from mid-April to May 22 at Appledore, Devon. Tadics and physical fitness were stressed, and the latter portion of the preparation involved the assemblage of 10,000 Hagensen Explosive Packs that would be needed for the massive demolition project that lay ahead.

Men 01 the UDT evolved into the SEALs 01 today.

June 6 saw the demolition teams move out to Omaha Beach on the coast of occupied France. The primary objective of the GATs was to clear paths to the mainland through which boats carrying Allied ground forces would later pass. Despite suffering nearly 50% casualties from heavy German gunfire, the NCDUs managed to clear two channels for the largest invasion of W.W.l1. Although the NCDUs were instrumental in the success of the invasion of Normandy, the lessons learned in the operation proved invaluable in the redesign of tactics and equipment. The NCDUs and their descendants would no longer work with the infantry, who although they provided cover fire for the demolitionists, more ohen than not drew fire. More than once at Normandy a demolitionist found himself having to warn infantrymen away from German-made barriers wired to blow. The Navy went right to work rethinking the role and tactics of the teams. Immediately following the invasion of Normandy, the men of the NCDUs and new graduates of the Fort Pierce training center would move on to Maui for further training as the newly named Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs).

But the new UOTs training was cut short by an order from the top. Under the command of Rear Admiral Kelley Turner, the teams would participate in Operation Galvanic, the invasion of Tarawa and the Gilbert Islands. This particular operation posed a difficult challenge which taught the UDTs a costly but invaluable lesson. Hydrographic information on the Gilbert Islands, especially on coral atolls like Tarawa, was extremely limited. Primary information sources were interviews with occupants of the islands before the war and from charts and tidetables provided by British intelligence. Despite the lack of solid information, Admiral Tumer determined it was in the Armed Forces' best interest to launch the invasion. In November 1943, with the shells from support craft screaming overhead, waves of combat-laden Marines in flat-bottomed Higgens boats assaulted the shores of Tarawa. The disaster began when the boats ran solidly aground on coral reefs, which in some areas were covered by less than two feet of water. The Marines abandoned the grounded craft, and on the way to shore many disappeared into holes in the coral reefs or into craters made by the prelanding bombing runs. The packs containing useful equipment and ammunition that would have kept the men fighting on shore were dead weight in the water: some men carried over 100 pounds of weapons, radios and ammunition! More Marines drowned trying to reach Tarawa than were killed by the Japanese in the fight for the island. Admiral Turner, whose final decision it was to launch the assaul~ caught the majority of the flak from his superiors and from an uproarious American public. Nonetheless, he remained undaunted in his mission to develop a new type of scout in the Pacific Theater. Believing the intolerable experiences of Tarawa could be avoided with better preparation, Turner seized the few NCOUs who were not assigned to Europe and built the nucleus of a new demolition unit. With his understanding of the need for experienced demolitions men and the capabilities of his teams and of their technolo~, he became instrumental in changing both the training and the overall mission of the NCOUs. At Turners request, two teams of recent graduates of the Combat Demolition Unit School at Fort Pierce were sent to Maui in December 1943 for a crash course in hydrographic reconnaissance and mapping. For the first time in the school's brief history, there was a marked emphasis placed on swimming, and, concurrently, long distance swimming was incorporated into the already grueling training program. Meanwhile, the commander and his men were busy rethinking uniforms and equipment. The demolitionists stili wore normal combat uniforms with boots to protect them from the sharp coral. lifelines connecting a man to an inflatable boat or landing craft, along with inflatable life belts, were introduced. Goggles were issued for the first time, and weapons were reduced considerably: the new teams would carry only K-Bar knives, Turner's thinking being that any direct contact with the enemy was considered too great a risk for such highly trained men. The new teams, designated UndelWater Demolition Teams 1 & 2, were to become Turner's expeditionary force for the upcoming operations in the Marshall Islands.

Operation Flintlock involved two major amphibious forces that were to conduct landings on 30 of the Kwajalein Atoll's islands. In late January, a team of UDT personnel moved out to face the enemy and to reconnoiter the intended landing beaches. Only 500 yards off shore the lead landing craft ran aground. Unable to gather sufficient data from that position, two team members who wore unauthorized swim trunks under their uniforms stripped and swam in closer to the beach. There they made note of the beach defenses and coral obstacles on plastic slates before returning to the landing craft As a result of this gathered intelligence, the method of landing the invasion forces was altered. Instead of flat bottomed landing craft, Turner would send the first wave of infantry in with amtracs, which could crawl over coral in shallow water. After the successful invasion of Kwajalein Island on February 1, the UOTs systematically performed reconnaissance for troops until all islands in the atoll were secure. As a result of the ~unauthorized· swim by the above mentioned personnel, it was the last time the teams would operate as ~walki ng- units. The spring of 1944 found the UOTs adapting and perfecting new techniques developed as a result of their experience in Operation Flintlock. Here the teams made the fundamental transition from land tactics to new aquatic techniques. An even greater emphasis was placed on swimmin& and new tactics that would lead to methods used by today's SEAls. Specifically, because UOTs working directly from boats drew too much enemy fire, a technique was developed where the men were delivered to their destination by a fast boat They would then jump over the side and perform their reconnaissance and demolition directly from the water. The teams abandoned combat uniforms and exchanged their goggles for faces masks that covered both the eyes and nose. Waterproof watches and compasses were developed to aid in navigation, and waterproof flashlights became standard issue. In addition, the Buddy system, wherein one team member is responsible for another's safety and duties, came into being. Remarkably, because sport diving as we know it did not yet exist, all of the equipment and techniques were developed from scratch by the officers and recruits at Maui and Fort Pierce. Later, in preparation for the invasion of Saipan, which would be the first invasion of an island on -Japanese soil,· several additional methods of operation were developed. The requirement for daylight reconnaissance eliminated the use of rubber boats, and the men were expected to swim to their targets. To effectively and rapidly insert and evacuate UDT swimmers, the "casting" technique was developed by Ensign Wade Theye and lieutenant Tom Westerlin. The method worked as follows: A landing craft with a rubber boat lashed to its side would travel parallel to the shore. A pair of swimmers would jump from the landing craft into the rubber boat and sit on the outer tube. On signal, the pair would dive into the water, and the next team would immediately take their place in the rubber boat. Seven pairs of men were distributed 100 yards apart to map, mark obstacles and do depth checks. When the survey was com-

pleted, each man swam to a pre-determined point to wait for the landing craft. As the craft approached, each man raised his left arm. The recovery man in the rubber boat lashed to the landing craft would lean out over the water and snag a man's arm with a heavy rubber loop. When he leaned back into the rubber boat, the swimmer would be snatched from the water and into the rubber boat. where he would climb hurriedly into the landing craft to make room for the next swimmer. This technique allowed the UDT men to be picked up at a rate determined by the speed of the pickup craft, which speeded up the most life-threatening phase of reconnaissance considerably. For the pre-invasion reconnaissance and demolitions of Saipan, the swimmers wore trunks, knee pads, sneakers and gloves. They were painted blue with black horizontal rings at one-foot intervals, thus fundioning as ~human rulers." At 0900 hours, June 14, the UDTs embarked on their mission wearing what is perhaps the most unconventional uniform in the history of modern warfare. The teams performed admirably, applying the new techniques developed in training. They successfully completed reconnaissance, guided the first waves of troops through passes, and later demolished wrecked landing craft to keep those passes clear.

Having taken Saipan and the neighboring island of rinian, Allied Forces moved on to Guam, an island much larger than any previously attacked. Guam was an American possession before the war, and Turner suspected the Japanese had fortified the beach front heavily. Early reconnaissance confirmed that a massive demolition effort would be required to destroy Japanese-placed obstacles. Despite the enormity of the task, the several UDTs participating in the operation made their training and technical developments payoff. UDT-4 began operations on July 14, as 200 men planted the high explosive tetrytol (a mixture of 75% tetryl and 25% TNT). For several days the demolitionists worked the coast, under smoke screens and bombardments, systematically destroying obstacles and clearing paths for the landing forces, all without a single casualty. This fact alone attests to the effectiveness of UOT training and to the character of the individual team members. Following the successful operations at Guam, the UOTs returned to Maui for more training and development Again the overall mission of the UDTs was to be refined, this time with an orientation toward the clandestine. Having been briefed on the success of the UDTs in Guam, Major General William Donovan, the primary force behind the Office of Strategic Services (055), an organization of spies and intelligence gatherers, got together with Admiral Chester Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the Pacific Reet Donovan wanted the UDTs to work with intelligence agencies. He and Nimitz arranged for men from the OSS, 2 1 enlisted men and five officers of the Maritime Unit to arrive in Hawaii in June, 1944, to be assigned to the new UDT unit, now known as Team 10. The OSS team had been in existence since 1942, and they shared some of the UDT's specialized skills. In addition, they had developed several types of breathing equipment that were in the various phases of testing. as well as weapons and techniques for attacking ships at anchor. Under the command of Lieutenant Arthur Choat, the men learned the proper technique of swimming with fins, a concept previously abandoned by the Navy due to the prevalence of leg cramps. Used properly, the fins would prove to be a tremendous benefit to the UDTs. This phase of their training completed, the UOT's embarked on what was to become one of the most famous battles of W.W.l1. The United States General Staff desperately needed to gain control of an area close to mainland Japan for the specific purpose of building an airbase for S-29 operations. lwe Jima seemed just the place. The B-29, the Allied force's newest bomber, could easily reach Japan, drop its load, and return to Iwo Jima without refueling. An invasion was planned for mid-February and was to be preceded by reconnaissance by UDTs 12, 13, 14 and 15 under Commander Kauffman. Operation Detachment was no different than many of the UDT's previous assignments. The teams were expected to explore and clear portions of the southeast beach extending two miles from Mt. Suribachi, the peak of the 4.5- by 2.5-mile island. The APDs Bates, Barr, Bull and Siessman put the UOTs in the water on the morning of February 17 to begin preinvasian reconnaissance. To their surprise the teams met little resistance, and they quickly

disabled the few underwater mines they found, installing markers over the large, sunken boulders. But the APDs, landing craft and infantry gunboats providing support fire drew the attention of the Japanese, who retaliated with a barrage of artillery. And although the swimmers suffered few casualties, the support craft were heavily hit. In fact. the gunboat carrying Commander Kauffman was hit directly with an 8-inch shell, which killed the radio operator standing beside him. That nighl, the eve of the invasion, a kamikaze plane dropped two 1DO-pound bombs, one of which penetrated the decks of the Blessman and detonated in the mess. Eighteen UDT men were killed and 23 others were wounded. The blast also wounded 11 of the ship's crew. The Blessman caught fire immediately. To complicate matters, most of the fire-fighting pumps had been damaged in the explosion. Commander Kauffman, who was aboard the nearby Gilmer, made a bold move. Despite the fact that the Blessman held full magazines of tetrytol, he ordered the Gilmer to move in closer and train its pumps on the damaged ship. From the bridge of the Gilmer, Kauffman led a boarding party which helped transport the wounded to the Gilmer. Despite the heroic actions of Commander Kauffman, the UDTs and the creV\lS of the Blessman and Gilmer, 40% of UDT 15's men were casualties of the attack, marking the greatest loss suffered by any single UDT during the war.

After the Allies took Iwo Jima in one of the bloodiest battles of WW.lI, the UOTs took stock and immediately began preparations for their next objective. Operation Iceberg was the largest amphibious operation in the Pacific and second in size during wwn only to Normandy. Over 500,000 men were to land on the island of Okinawa on April 1, with 1,000 men from 10 UDTs working in frigid waters to provide a safe path, The beaches of Kerama Retto, an island group roughly 15 miles west of Okinawa, were the first to be cleared. While making their way through the calm water inlets that divide the islands, the UDTs discovered and destroyed some 300 explosives-filled kamikaze speedboats. Had these vessels not been discovered, they surely would have wreaked havoc on the Allied fleet. The teams prepared their explosives at night and cleared 1,300 yards of beach of 1,400 obstacles in only two days of operation. By March 26 the entire island group was cleared without a single UDT casualty. The Allied invasion of Okinawa began on April 1, 1945. After leading the first waves to the island, the men of the UDTs manned the machine guns of their APDs around the clock, defending the fleet from almost 1,000 kamikaze planes. The invasion was another Allied success, and the UDTs celebrated by performing post-battle demolition of the beach area before moving on to Borneo. The mission in Borneo involved an in-depth reconnaissance and the clearing of the south side beach. Cold waters, a heavy concentration of obstacles and a 12-foot surf made the job difficult, but the highly trained men were again successful in their operations, paving the way for another Allied victory, the last of wwn in which these men would be involved as members of Underwater Demolition Teams. Borneo was the last major amphibious operation of wW.n, as the Japanese surrendered after the atomic bombings of eady August 1945. Although the UDTs performed with overwhelming success, the operations they completed specifically in the last year of WW,II demonstrated the philosophy that had been their practice since their conception: one must learn from one's successes and mistakes and apply the newfound knowledge toward safer, more effective techniques. Each of the 34 UDTs commissioned during WWII was highly commended by officials, who cited -without the work done by these teams the attempted landings would have been disastrous failures." Yet despite the remarkable record of the teams, the speed with which they evolved and the lauding by high officials, the number of UOTs declined steadily from the end of w.wn to 1948. The demand for such highly trained men was not nearly what it was during the world war. Nonetheless, both instructors and cadets alike were hard at work developing techniques and equipment in Florida and Hawaii. Among the developments were several rebreathers, a dry suit for cold water diving and lockout techniques allowing swimmers to operate from submerged submarines. Soon, however, America would become involved in a hostile conflict on foreign soil, and the need for UOTs once again would be realized .

On June 25, 1950, the North Korean Peoples Army (NKPA) crossed the 38th parallel and invaded South Korea. At the time a detachment of 10 men from UOT-3 were in Japan supervising demolitions. The team was asked to perlorm an inland demolition of NKPA supply trains deep behind enemy lines. UOT operations expanded and eventually included beach surveillance, landings, clearing mines and generally disrupting the NKPA's logistics via demolition. At the signing of armistice on July 27, 1953, the UOTs had assisted in 61 assault landings and, largely due to the vision and efforts of Commander John T. Koehler, had proven themselves in inland warlare. The UOTs had been receiving training in land operations, advanced night reconnaissance, small unit tactics and weapons since the end of W.W.II. Koehler, an awardee of the Silver Star and a commander of the advanced UOT training base in Maui during the laner part of W.W.II, recognized the potential of the UOTs at land warlare. His vision of the possibilities of the UDTs included inland demolition raids, intelligence gathering and the infiltration or exfiltration of guerrillas and intelligence agents. It was Koehler who made sure the men received proper training for such operations. And to his credi~ his image of the UOTs almost exactly correlates with the general operational capabilities of today's SEAls. After the war in Korea ended, the primary mission of the UOTs was reconnaissance, and most of the information regarding missions during this time remains classified. However, the teams became even more involved with testing and scientific experimentation. Among other projects, the UOTs developed gas mixes for an assortment of underwater breathing devices. And because of their excellent physical and mental fitness, the UOT members were used by the space program to test the effects of -C"force, weightlessness and the stress of launching and reentry. But when John F. Kennedy was elected President of the United States in 1961, the UOTs underwent a major reorganization and refining of priorities and of their overall mission. Kennedy, a commander of a PT boat during w.w.n, recognized the need for US forces to fight a guerrilla-style war. Upon assuming the position of Commander in Chief, he ordered all military services to increase their capabilities in the field of unconventional war. Kennedy's advisers seemed to have Vietnam in mind. As u.s. involvement in the conflict was on the rise, the Navy had designed a shallow-draft boat for operations in a riverine-type environment Kennedy realized the UOTs were the men most capable of fighting guerrilla warlare, but he needed these highly trained men to continue with their reconnaissance missions. His administration decided to develop a specialized guerrilla unit and to allow the UOTs to continue to perlorm their invaluable service to US. intelligence. Thus the SEAls were born, the basis of the anagram-Sea, Air & Land-indicating their capacity to perlorm in any environment. Each SEAL unit would consist of 20-25 officers and 50-75 enlisted men. Their three-part mission:

• 21 •

1. To develop a specialized Navy capability in guerrilla/counter-guerrilla operations to include training of selened personnel in a wide variety of skills. 2. To develop doctrinal tadics. 3. To develop special support equipment. Final authorization of the SEAls came from the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral George W. Anderson, Jr., in a letter dated December 11, 1961. And on January I, 1962, SEAL Teams 1 and 2 were commissioned by presidential order. By March two instrudors from Team 1 arrived in Saigon for a six-month tour of duty with the specific objective of training the South Vietnamese personnel in clandestine maritime operations. Thus began the operations of the US Navy SEAls in Vietnam.

J pressed the DOWN arrow to stop; J wanted to get a better look around J pressed F2 to pull up Team View, then Ctrl and the LEFT IIlTOW key to pan the view until I was looking at the team from the direction 01 the bunkers. Using CtrI and the PAGE DOWN Jeey, J zoomed out until J could see the bunkers- and the VC patrol lur/cing behind them.

PATROL On Patrol missions, the team is to arrive at the specified location (on-sct1!en message con-

firms arrival), and patrol the area. Using the SEARCH order, the team should attempt to captun! NVANC, and avoid injuring civilians in the area.

AMBUSH Ambush missions require stealth and a healthy dose 01 patiance. The leam should arrive al the objective location and lake the enemy by surprise, neutralizing personnel by whatever means necessary. Take prisoners, if possible (using SEARCH order). In order to achieve this objective, the leam must neutralize at least 65% of the enemy objective.

PART II - AT THE BASE DEMOLITION On Demolition missions, the team is sent to destroy a structura, such as a building or a wall. When the target reticle confinns the objective, set demo charges and get out of the way. For more information DR demo charges, sae Using Weapons, page 79.

RESCUE The objective here is to find and extract friendly personnel, usually POWs or downed pilots. When you reach the specified location, issue a SEARCH order to pick up any lriendlies, then extract with them.

RECOVER On Recover missions you'll need to locate and extract an object, such as a cache of weapons, equipment, food, or other supplies. When you locate the objectiV9, it's automatically marked for pickup by a Support Team (pickup occurs at a later timB, off camera). SNATCH Snatch missions are similar to Rescue missions, except that the object of the mission has no desire to he rescued. Locate the ohjective enemy personnel, such as a high ranking enemy official or scientist (target reticle confirms objectivel, then issue a SEARCH order to snatch him.

OBSERVE ObseI"l/"e means the team designates the target, then watches while the big guns do the job. Travel to the objective, identify and target it (by setting a waypoint) for yOW' Support Team, and issue an attack order - they11 do the hard stuff.

Each team member's marching position is determined by where he appears on the Marching Order clipboard. The Point Man is listed first, the Officer in Charge second, the Corpsman third, and Rear Security fourth in line. Before each mission, you can build a team by choosing new men for each position (except Point Man). For each team position, you can choose from a pool of men who are available to you throughout YOW' campaign. By rotating yOW' men for each mission, you can build up each man's skills, making each available SEAL a valuable asset on any mission. U you don't rotate yOW' men, you end up with a small group 01 highly trained SEALs, but risk getting stuck with a greenhorn should one of yOW' best men be killed or wounded in action.
