A SMALL AND LETHAL FORCE

The United States Navy SEAL Team is legendary in the art of modern warfare. SEALs are arguably the best-trained and most versatile combat forces in the world, yet any SEAL mission only involves a handful of personnel. Because of extreme training demands that are nothing short of excruciating, only the toughest men become SEALs. Teamwork, perseverance and exceptional weapons knowledge make SEAL teams the most lethal combat forces operating today. SEAL training also pays off in low combat casualties. If anyone could sneak into hell, turn the heat way up, and glide out of the flames without losing their cool, its a SEAL team.
The military landscape of the new millennium is complex. Superpowers have learned that international stability is the best bet for maintaining order, peace and power. Now terrorists, maniacal rogue states and sadistic warlords are the new threat to freedom. They care little for those under their boot and innocents are always used as shields. As several powerful armies have found, massive demonstrations of military force may be counter-productive against small contingents of hostiles. This new enemy blends into non-combatant populations until the moment they inflict heavy casualties on innocent people. To answer this threat, small and highly effective forces such as the SEALs are vital. Small though SEAL teams are, the unfortunate terrorist leader who suffers their military wrath may feel that he has just encountered a regiment.

Brief, but explosive, armed aggression is a hallmark of the SEALs as is the clockwork timing that makes such attacks possible. But despite a reputation for brutal and ferocious attacks, what makes a SEAL team a threat is silence. Stealthy interdiction is truly the art of any SEAL team. They may wash in with the waves, emerge from muddy river waters or drop into the hushed night from 30,000 feet. A terrorist may think he has the world cowering at his feet until his guards begin disappearing one-by-one and his power vanishesquietly. SEALs are unsung patriots. Many of their missions are highly classified and news of their heroism lives as they doin the shadows. Now its your turn. You just got the duty as the elite commander in charge of a four-man SEAL contingent. You will neutralize hostile threats in some of the most volatile regions on Earth. Missions will include rescues, snatches of key enemies, intelligence gathering, ambushes and all-out assaults. Insertion into each operational area may include 30,000-foot HALO (High Altitude Low Opening) drops from aircraft, underwater incursions or Special Boat Squadron deliveries. The battleground may be a ship on the high seas, a jungle stronghold, a blizzard-shrouded hideout, or a desert cave fortress. The finest military minds, intelligence and technology in modern warfare will support you on each mission. You are wired into voice communication with all primaries including your team and SOCOM (Special Operations COMmand) via satellite. Intelligence and threat assessment will be updated in real time throughout your missions. As mission deployment looms, eyes narrow and adrenaline flows. But months of intense training, detailed mission preparation and total team confidence takes the edge off. Its not just bravery that makes a four-man Fire Team itch for action against a numerically superior force of brutal enemies. Your SEALs are experts at controlling the battlefield with teamwork, intelligence and a devastating offense. For the terrorist who wages war with fear, time just ran out.

THE SOCOM HEADSET AND ISSUING COMMANDS

SINGLE PLAYER

Your headset gives you voice contact with your team to issue commands, and be kept informed on the tactical situation from each team member and SOCOM (Special Operations COMmand).
A command has three components, WHO, WHAT, and either WHERE or HOW. There are two methods of issuing voice commands: Press the A button once and the voice command menu opens. Then say one of the words on the menu (example: Able) for the WHO portion of the command. Proceed then to say the WHAT portion (example: Attack To), followed by the WHERE portion (example: ZULU) to complete the command. OR Press and hold down the A button and say the WHO, WHAT and WHERE in the form of an unbroken sentence (ex. BRAVO stealth to Charlie), then release the A button. Note: You can also issue commands using the controller until you memorize the commands. Tap the A button to see the first command set (Who) then highlight the option you want and press the S button to see the second set (What). See Issuing Commands Using Button Controls on page 12. The command menu has four primary command headers. You speak one of these words first to alert your team to WHO is to act on a command: TeamSay TEAM if you want to give a command to the whole team. Able elementSay ABLE if you want to give a command to your element partner, Hutchins. You are telling Hutchins the action he must take (ABLE is the front SEAL unit.) Bravo elementSay BRAVO if you want to give a command to Bravo Unit. (BRAVO is the rear SEAL unit.) Note: If both members of Bravo are out of action, Bravo will not appear as a command option. EscorteeSay ESCORTEE if you want to give a command to an escortee (someone who is in your teams custody). Note: Your crosshairs must be on a potential escortee for the Escortee command header to appear in the command menu.

Once you have established who is to carry out the order, you issue the basic order. This order establishes WHAT you want done. The third and final part of the order defines HOW or WHERE you want the order carried out. For example: You want Bravo to move to location Delta being careful to avoid detection. Press the A button to open your microphone and say, BRAVO, STEALTH TO, DELTA. Another example: You want Bravo to throw a flash-bang grenade. Press the A button to open your microphone and say, BRAVO, DEPLOY. At this point Bravo knows you want one of them to deploy an explosive. Finish the order by saying, BANG. Note: Your options for ordering a man to deploy a specific explosive depend on how the SEALs are equipped. Another example: You want Bravo to take point (the lead position on a patrol) while your team, Able, travels to point Zulu. Press the A button to open your microphone and say BRAVO, LEAD TO, ZULU. When the Bravo element reaches the position, they will hold until commanded to move. Note: Find map locations by opening the Map (SELECT button) and using the left and right analog sticks to view it.

Attack To Designate who will advance to the specified position, firing at any enemy encountered. Stealth To Advance as quietly as possible to a position while taking advantage of the terrain or structures to minimize the chance of discovery. Hold Position Hold position until you command otherwise. Regroup The team will move to your position. Follow You will take point and the team will fall in behind you. They will also assume your position. For example, if you advance in prone position, they will too. Escort Give this command when you have an escortee who needs protection.

TACTICAL COMMANDS
Issue tactical commands to accomplish a specific action in the field. Fire At Will Any team member will fire at any enemy he encounters. Cover Target Order your team to protect a specific person from enemy fire. Place your crosshairs on the person and issue the command. Hold Fire Hold fire until you countermand the order. Ambush Prepare to execute an ambush. Deploy Use specific explosive weapons based on how your SEAL is equipped. Note: Only those commands currently available to you will appear. For example, the Open Door command will not display if you point the crosshairs at the ground, but will display when the crosshairs are pointed at a door.

MOVEMENT COMMANDS
Use movement commands to order the team to specific positions. These positions were designated prior to the mission based on intelligence about the operational area. Press the SELECT button to get a close-up of the operational area and view the positions on the map. Moving to specific points during a mission may be a required objective. The Position designations on a mission include: CrosshairsThe crosshairs is your targeting tool. By pointing the crosshairs at a specific spot (right analog stick) and saying, CROSSHAIRS as the WHERE portion of your voice command, you can order your team to a precise location. Map Positions are: Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Juliet, Whisky, X-Ray and Zulu. These appear on the detail map in the Map/Objectives display (press SELECT to open). These positions are determined prior to insertion and mark key locations in any mission. For example: If you ordered your team to ATTACK TO DELTA, they would attack to the position corresponding to the map position named Delta. Lead To Use this command to decide whether Able or Bravo will take point when moving from one objective to the next. The teammate(s) that you command to Lead to a particular area will not move unless you are within a relatively close proximity to them.

PICK UP WEAPONS
When you walk over a downed enemy, he may have a weapon that you can take. The Pick Up icon appears to give you the opportunity to take the weapon (S button). If you take the weapon, you will drop the primary weapon or secondary weapon you currently hold.

PICK UP AN IMPORTANT ITEM

PERFORMING SPECIAL ACTIONS

During the missions you may find objects that can be picked up. Some are of limited use, but many are vital to completion of mission objectives. When you encounter such an item, point the crosshairs at it. When the Pickup icon appears, press the S button to pick up the item.

THE TIE UP ICON When a special action is required, a Special Action Icon appears. Press the S button to execute the special action. If multiple Special Action Icons appear, press and hold the S button and press the directional button Z/X to highlight the one you want. Release the S button to take the selected action. MOVE ICON
This appears when you can move over an obstacle or up a ladder. The SEAL will perform the appropriate move when you press the S button. For example, when the icon appears while you are near a ladder and you press the S button, your SEAL will climb onto the ladder. Use the left analog stick C/V to move on the ladder. A target may surrender by dropping his weapon and throwing up his hands. Walk behind him. When the Tie Up icon appears, press the S button to tie his hands.

RIFLE-BUTTING OR KNIFE ICONS

When you draw close to an enemy, you have the option of attacking quietly with a rifle butt strike or knife. See Hand- To- Hand Combat in the Using Weapons Section on page 25.

HIDING BODIES
If enemy soldiers spot a dead comrade, it can alert them to your SEAL teams presence. To prevent discovery, it is always advisable to move dead or incapacitated bodies out of sight. Find a position behind a tree, box or other type of cover. To pick up a body: Move the crosshairs over the body and the Pick Up Body icon should appear. Press the S button to have your SEAL pick up the body. You can move your SEAL normally while carrying a body, but his movement will be slower and he will not be able to fire a weapon. Decide where you want to stash the body and press the S button again to put the body down. You can pick up the body of an enemy or team member.

BUTTON ICON
This will appear when there is a piece of equipment to turn on or off. Certain mission objectives will entail the operation or disabling of equipment encountered during a mission. When you locate equipment, get close and position the crosshairs on it. If a Button icon appears, press the S button to take action on the equipment.

OPEN ICON
The Open icon appears when there is a door to be opened. Press the S button while in front of a door to open it. 22 23

HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT ATTACKS

The most silent attacks are striking a target with a rifle butt or stabbing him with a knife. Sneak up on the opponent and place the crosshairs on him. When the Rifle Butt icon appears, press the S button to deliver a non-lethal rifle butt strike to the jaw. To stab the target you must move in closely from behind. When you place the crosshairs on the target, the Knife Icon will appear. Press the S button to deliver a lethal knife attack.

USING WEAPONS

Both rifle butt strikes and knife attacks can be performed on surrendering or restrained enemies.

EXPLOSIVE DEVICES
You can terminate a hostile with a fragmentation grenade, Willie Pete grenade or Claymore mine. You can stun a hostile target with a flash-bang grenade.

Hostiles can be terminated, knocked out, tied up or stunned with a flash-bang grenade. SELECTING ITEMS FROM THE WEAPONS CACHE
1. Press the R button to open the weapons cache. 2. Press the directional button C/V to highlight the equipment or weapon you want to use and press the R button again or the S button. That item will appear in the Weapon in Hand display.

SHOOTING AN ENEMY
With a weapon in hand, use the right analog stick to take aim. Set the crosshairs on the enemy and fire the weapon (E button). A wounded enemy may return fire or surrender. Even if you down him with a shot, he may be able to return fire. A shot to the head guarantees that the hostile soldier will not return fire. Head shots demand highly accurate shooting. Sniper Rifles Sniper rifles are designed to hit a long-range target with precision. Zoom in or out on the target by pressing the directional button C/V. Use the right analog stick to center your shot. The SR-25 is silenced. The Light Fifty is not silenced and its big bore round is loud. The scope on a sniper rifle is excellent for detailed scanning of the battlefield. Sniper rifles do not handle well in a close-range firefight.

Grenades To throw a grenade: 1. Press the R button to open your Weapons cache, select the grenade you want to throw and press the R button again or the S button. 2. Your crosshairs will change to indicate you are holding a grenade. Use the right analog stick to set the trajectory of the lob. 3. Press and release the E button to heave the grenade. The longer you hold the E button before releasing, the farther the grenade will fly when you release it. Throw the grenade at an upward angle to cover an even longer distance. Collateral damage is always a concern with grenades. Make sure there are no friendlies within range of the blast. To fire a grenade from an M203 Grenade Launcher (M16 or M4 primary weapons only): 1. Press the left analog stick (down like a button) to cycle through your weapons firing modes until the grenade icon appears. 2. Use the right analog stick C/V to set the trajectory of the shot. 3. Press the E button to fire the grenade. Claymore Mine To set a Claymore: 1. Select it from your weapons cache. 2. Determine the location you want to cover and place the mine by pressing the E button. 3. The remote control detonator will appear in your weapons cache. Press the E button to detonate the mine. C-4 or Satchel Charge While not designed for an anti-personnel role, either of these explosives is fatal to anyone within range of the blast, including your own team. To set a satchel charge or C-4: 1. Select it from your weapons cache. 2. Determine the position you want to place the ordinance and press the E button. Then clear the area making sure that none of your team is close to 25

WEAPON STATUS
Use the Weapon in Hand display to keep track of the status of your weapon. You can view the weapon, the number of rounds for the current magazine, capacity of rounds for the current magazines, the number of magazines remaining and the weapons current firing mode. Setting the Fire Mode on Weapons Many assault weapons have multiple firing modes. The M16A2, for example, has single shot (semi-automatic) and burst (three rapid shot) modes. Sniper rifles and pistols only have semi-automatic fire (except for the Model 18, which has an automatic firing mode). To switch firing modes press the L3 button (press the left analog stick down like a button). The Bullet icon on the Weapon in Hand display will change from one to three bullets (burst) or more for fully automatic weapons. Reloading Your SEAL will automatically slam another magazine into his weapon when he runs out of bullets. Keep track of the number of shots remaining in a weapon and the total number of magazines you have by watching the Weapon in Hand Display. Manually reload your weapon by pressing the R3 button (press the right analog stick down like a button). It is possible to carry extra ammunition for your primary and secondary weapons as part of your equipment. See Equipment in The Mission Briefing on page 19.

STEALTH

Stealth is the first weapon of a SEAL team. A show of force at the wrong moment could expose the team to an overwhelming hostile response or result in mission failure. By silently taking advantage of cover, an effective SEAL team can terminate the enemy man-byman without alerting the remaining forces.
In addition to hiding behind objects to conceal yourself from the enemy, hiding in darkness or shadow is a highly effective stealth tactic. If you are hidden in a dark enough area you can be invisible to the enemy, even though he may be looking in your direction. Stealth may be most important during insertion. Stay low and recon the area looking for enemy patrols. Use the crouched or prone positions to lower your profile and get by enemy sentries. When ordering your men into action, give the order STEALTH TO when tactically safe. Use vision enhancing equipment including Binoculars, NVG (night vision goggles) and sniper scopes to survey the operational area. Note: During night ops, you can use your NVG by pressing the directional button C. Press the directional button V to remove them. Always consider the type of weapon you are using. Unsilenced weapons may be more powerful, but the loud report of a sniper rifle or machine gun can let an entire enemy encampment know youre there. Whenever tactically sound, use silenced weapons to take out a target. The quietest attack is a rifle butt or a knife. Though risky, if you get the drop on a target, no one is the wiser unless they are looking at you. The enemy is sharp. If you see his eyes, he may soon see yours and open fire. 27

SWITCHING WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT

The weapon or equipment in hand is displayed on the lower left of the screen. You must take your weapon in hand before you can use it. When you are using or preparing to deploy explosives, you sling or holster your weapon in hand. The same goes for binoculars. To take your primary weapon in hand, press the Q button. Primary weapons include sniper rifles, assault rifles, and machine guns. To take your secondary weapon in hand press the W button. Secondary weapons are pistols. Any item you were holding prior to grabbing a weapon will be replaced in the Weapons Cache. Setting the Q and W Buttons The Q and W buttons can be set to any equipment in your inventory, not only your primary and secondary weapons. To set the Q or W buttons, press the R button to open your inventory. Then highlight the equipment or weapon you want to set and press the Q or W button.

THE ENEMY

THE PAUSE SCREEN

Your enemy may be terrorists or paramilitary soldiers whose resolve and combat skills vary. While some may give up when they feel overwhelmed and others will fight to the death, all will attempt to kill you or members of your Fire Team if given the advantage. Others will attempt escape, destroy vital information or kill innocents.
Once you or any member of the Fire Team reveals his position, or is discovered by hostiles, team survivability diminishes progressively as other enemy forces are alerted. They will begin firing at you or closing on your position. If SOCOM advises that a mission objective to avoid discovery has failed, your teams presence is surely compromised. Use stealthy tactics whenever possible. Take care to search out and neutralize enemy sentries, especially during team insertion.

Sicily, Salerno, Anzio, Normandy, and southern France, as well as in the Pacific. Draper L. Kauffman, the Father of Naval Combat Demolition, was the founder of the NCDUs and established training at Ft. Pierce, Fla., where the UDT-SEAL Museum exists today. The NCDUs were critical to the U.S. success at Normandy, allowing U.S. amphibious forces to storm the beach. In preparing the way for their brothers in arms, the NCDUs suffered 34 killed and 79 wounded by enemy fire, a casualty rate of 38 percent. NCDUs also operated in the Pacific theater. Many current SEAL missions were first assigned to the OSS, who began training in November 1943. Within the U.S. military, they pioneered flexible swim fins and facemasks, closed-circuit diving equipment, the use of swimmer submersibles, and combat swimming and limpet mine attacks, hallmark equipment and skills of todays SEALs. On November 23, 1943, the U.S. Marine landing on Tarawa Atoll emphasized the need for hydrographic reconnaissance and underwater demolition of obstacles prior to any amphibious landing. Eventually, 30 Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) were established to carry out these missions. Wearing swimsuits, fins, and facemasks on combat operations, these "Naked Warriors" saw action in every major amphibious landing across the Pacific. Later, they used their skills in the Korean War by conducting beach and river reconnaissance, infiltrating guerrillas behind the lines from sea, and participating in minesweeping operations. Responding to President Kennedys desire for the Services to develop an unconventional warfare capability, the U.S. Navy established SEAL Teams ONE and TWO in January of 1962. Formed entirely with personnel from Underwater Demolition Teams, the SEALs mission was to conduct counter-guerrilla warfare and clandestine operations in maritime and riverine environments. Through December 1972, SEALs advised and operated in Vietnam, learning many tactics that make them the extraordinary warfare force they are today. Men who completed what is now known as the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL course were assigned either to a UDT or SEAL team until all UDTs were re-designated as SEAL Teams in May 1983. Post-Vietnam War operations that NSW forces have participated in include URGENT FURY (Grenada 1983); EARNEST WILL (Persian Gulf 1987-1990); JUST CAUSE (Panama 1989-1990); and DESERT SHIELD/DESERT STORM (Middle East/Persian Gulf 1990-1991). Naval Special Warfare forces have also played significant roles in operations in Somalia, Bosnia, Haiti, Liberia, and the war on terrorism. Today Naval Special Warfare deploys SEAL Teams, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Teams and Special Boat Units worldwide to meet the training, exercise, contingency and wartime requirements of theater commanders. With approximately 5,000 total active-duty personnel including 2,200 SEALs and 600 Special Warfare Combat Crewmembers, NSW forces are busier than ever answering "911 calls" from around the globe.

NAVY SEAL HISTORY

Navy SEALs (Sea, Air, Land) take their name from the environments in and from which they operate. The trait that distinguishes Navy SEALs from all other military forces is that SEALs are maritime special operations forces, striking from and returning to, the sea. However, as their name implies, they are also experts at land warfare and can use their skills far from the water. Most often operating in small tactical units, their mission areas include unconventional warfare, direct action, combating terrorism, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, counter-drug operations, personnel recovery and hydrographic reconnaissance. SEALs can operate independently or integrate with other U.S. special operations forces or within U.S. Navy carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups. With half of the worlds industry and population located within one mile of an ocean or navigable river, Naval Special Warfare forces have a proud history of mastering these vital littoral regions.
Celebrating their 40-year anniversary in 2002, todays Navy SEALs (Sea-AirLand) have evolved from a number of organizations, including the Scouts and Raiders, Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDU), Office of Strategic Services Operational Swimmers (OSS) and Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT). While none of those early units have survived to present, their pioneering efforts in unconventional warfare are mirrored in the missions and professionalism of todays Navy SEALs. The Scouts and Raiders, NCDUs and OSS were units developed throughout World War II to achieve various objectives. Whereas the Scouts and Raiders were designed to identify and reconnoiter the objective beach, maintain a position on the designated beach prior to a landing, and guide the assault waves to the landing beach, NCDU personnel were trained to utilize explosives to eliminate obstacles on enemy-held beaches prior to invasions. Phil H. Bucklew, the Father of Naval Special Warfare was a member of the Scouts and Raiders, which saw combat in the first allied landings on the North African coast and supported landings in 42

GET AN AUTHENTIC SOCOM HAT!

WANT TO TAKE THE CHALLENGE?

U.S. Navy SEALs are some of the best and brightest warriors in the world. The training they receive at the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) school in southern California is one of the most rigorous military training regimens on earth. Every year, hundreds of men come to BUD/S to take the challenge. Some of them graduate and move on to serve in the SEAL teams, but many do not. Decades of research have shown that there are no certain predictors as to who will succeed, but those that do must demonstrate perseverance, the ability to be a team player, and above all, total commitment and a desire to be the very best.
BUD/S instructors frequently tell students, both officers and enlisted men, If you want to be a SEAL, you will be a SEAL. Nothing can stop you but you. Thousands of men have made it before you and thousands of men will make it after you. Students must have one goal: to be part of one of the most elite group of fighting men in the world. To reach that goal, they must press on through the six months of training. Without that goal, BUD/S often proves overwhelming. BUD/S is just the beginning of a Navy SEALs career. BUD/S graduates go on to airborne training, advanced combat swimming, and advanced land warfare training before reporting to a SEAL team. Typically, an individual will be awarded his SEAL warfare insignia, the trident, about a year to 18 months after starting 47

Navy SEALs are always on the lookout for motivated, intelligent, physically fit people to take the challenge and join the team. SEALs come from a variety of backgrounds and geographic locations; they vary in size and shape; they range from GED-recipients to graduates from top colleges. Some join right after high school. Others join after they have had other careers. Some are Olympic-caliber athletes, and some never played organized athletics. The common trait among SEALs is a burning desire to serve their country, and to serve with the best. In order to become a Navy SEAL, you must be a U.S. citizen and join the Navy. Details on how the process works, physical and age requirements, information on BUD/S, and who to contact for more information is available on the official website, www.seal.navy.mil. Good luck!
