Navy Seals Case Study

The Making of a Navy Seal is a true story told by Brandon Webb. Webb tells the story of surviving his toughest challenges and how he trains to be the best. He has a very unusual childhood and is eventually thrown out of the boat his family lives on. Even though Webb has a rough start in his adulthood, he overcomes difficult obstacles and works hard for his goals.

Not rules, not expectations, but standards. Standards that are set specifically for the Unites States troops so that when everything is created, it will never become obsolete. Many people are arguing saying that standards are set and better be met. They are not changing just for the sake of our countries females. Navy Seals began studying the effects of having women take part in a highly competitive and difficult program.

When the Navy sends their most elite squad, they send the SEAL’s. At the point when the SEAL’s send their elitist, they send SEAL Team Six. SEAL Team Six is a top secret group and the only way to get in, is to prove yourself as being strong physically and mentally. I Am a SEAL Team Six Warrior by Howard E. Wasdin is a emotional story of how Howard Wasdin defeated an extremely rough childhood and how he entered the extremely risky U.S. Naval force SEALS Team and Special Forces expert marksmen as a sniper. His transformation of becoming a young, poor boy into a lethal and extremely dangerous weapon will change him forever, and make him choose intense decisions. All through the book of I Am a SEAL Team Six Warrior it appears and clarifies missions that Howard had to experience. Missions no man should have to deal with. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for tons of action and for people with a thirst for adrenaline and a heart warming story.

The book I read was I am a SEAL Team Six Warrior: Memoirs of an American Soldier by Howard E. Wasdin and Stephen Templin. My favorite passage came from the middle of the story when Howard and some of his buddies helped a younger boy out. It states:

In June 2005, Operation Red Wing, Marcus Luttrell and three other Navy Seals, Matt Axelson, Mark Murphy, and Danny Dietz, set out to stop the Taliban from taking over an Afghan village of innocent Afghan citizens. “After mentioning Luttrell and his survival story, a woman from the crowd screamed, “You’re a hero, Marcus!”.” (“Conservation Post”) Marcus Luttrell is great friends with a former Governor,

From Sea, Air, and Land, the U.S. Navy Seal Teams are the most feared and respected commando forces in the U.S military if not the world. The Seal Teams are the most elite and highly trained forces on the face of the earth. President John F. Kennedy formed the teams in 1962 as a seagoing counterpart to the U.S Army Special Forces.

There are many career choices you can choose from in the armed forces. Like becoming a nuclear engineer, a pilot, or even going into a special ops program in a certain branch of the armed forces. Well there's one special force that is separated from the rest and that's the navy seals. In this research paper you will learn the good and bad aspects in joining the navy seals whether it's for the training, pay/benefits, or for your education.

Marcus Luttrell, a six foot five SEAL who has a problem with getting himself in trouble, has himself in a predicament. Marcus is under heavy fire from Iraqi insurgents and all of his fellow soldiers are dead. He’s injured from getting shot in the leg, but he knows he can’t stop now. Insurgents are tailing him and he’s practically cornered.

Faced with an unfamiliar problem, Coach P, of the West Point Crew team, had a JV boat that was consistently outperforming the Varsity team on different measures. Upon preliminary analysis, it appears that the problem is simple: the selection of the varsity team was flawed and many of the athletes were misjudged and subsequently misplaced. However, the coach analyzed this possible flaw through seat races and even decided to demote varsity rowers to the JV team and JV rowers to the varsity team; the unlikely outcome was that the JV boat would win by even more, meaning that the demoted rower actually made the JV boat faster. This unlikely outcome revealed a deeper flaw within the Varsity team’s attitudes and motivations that sharply contrasted with those of the Junior Varsity team.

It was June, 28th, 2005, Marcus and his team were set up in the Hindu-Kush mountains in Afghanistan scouting out there target when a group of farmers stumble across them. To play it safe they tie them up and debate whether to kill them or let them free. Luttrell, being the team leader, decided since they were unarmed that it would be wrong to kill them so they let them go. However, one of the farmers was a taliban sympathizer and he immediately went and revealed their location to them. This ultimately lead to the team getting ambushed by +30 taliban soldiers. The outmatched soldiers fought tooth and nail although getting severely wounded they continued to fight.

“When the U.S. Navy sends their elite, they send the SEALs. When the SEALs send their elite, they send SEAL Team Six” (Wasdin 3). A question that frequently comes up in everyone’s mind is how it would feel to be an elite sniper in the SEAL Team Six. The author of I am a Seal Team Six Warrior named Howard E. Wasdin was and elite sniper in the SEAL Team Six. He had written the book explaining his life and narrating his stories about his experience. The book also had perspectives and stories from Stephen Templin as well who was with him along the incredible journey. The book had talked about Wasdin’s personal life, his hardships to achieve his goal and what he had experienced during his career as a sniper with the SEALs.

In Howard Wasdin’s book, I am a Seal Team Six Warrior, Howard shows how his rough childhood prepared him for SEAL training, Operation Desert Storm, and finally becoming a Seal Team Six Warrior. Howard was put through very bad physical beatings when he was a child. This prepared him for BUD/S training. BUD/S training is short for Basic Underwater Demolition/ SEAL training. Out of the twelve men who started the training, only six of them remained after the training. There were a couple of tests and Howard was the only one who passed them all. He was then sent on his first mission as a member of SEAL Team Two. It was called Operation Desert Storm. His goal was to became one of the best snipers on SEAL Team Six. His childhood had prepared him to not give up and

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10 details the events of an unsuccessful Navy SEAL mission which resulted in 19 US Military casualties, and only one member of SEAL Team 10 surviving. The book was written by Marcus Luttrell with the help of ghost writer, Patrick Robinson, and published in 2007. Marcus Luttrell was born on November 7, 1975 and raised in Houston, Texas. He and his brother, Morgan, both began Navy SEAL training at age 14 with the help of their ex-SEAL neighbor, Billy Shelton. Both brothers attended Sam Houston State University, and went on to join the Navy SEALs. Luttrell joined the Navy in 1999 where he began Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training with Class 226 in Coronado, California. Due to a leg injury, he graduated with Class 228 in 2000. After BUD/S, he trained at Army Jump School, SEAL Qualification Training, and Special Operations Combat Medic courses before finally completing his training. After he was discharged from the Navy, he was awarded with a Purple Heart and Navy Cross. He later set up the Lone Survivor Foundation which “restores, empowers, and renews hope for our wounded service members and their families through health, wellness, and therapeutic support” (www.lonesurvivorfoundation.org). In 2012 he wrote Service: A Navy SEAL

Based on a true story, the movie ‘Lone Survivor’ features four Navy SEALs that set out on a mission to Afghanistan with orders to capture and kill Taliban leader Ahmad Shah. The Navy SEALS are detected by villagers and the mission was compromised. Ultimately, the mission had been discovered and the men found themselves surrounded by dozens of Taliban soldiers. One of the Navy SEAL soldiers managed to dispatch to base and retrieve assistance but the Taliban shoot down the helicopter. During battle, three of the Navy SEAL soldiers were killed leaving one still alive.
