Sometimes you must build the raft while you’re on it. West Coast-based SEALs assemble a combatant rubber raiding craft near the Los Angeles-class fast-attack submarine USS Greeneville (SSN 772) during fleet interoperability training in the Pacific Ocean. When you’re starting a mission, do you start ASAP and figure it out along the way or do you plan it out to the end before you begin? #USNavy #NavySEAL #NavySWCC #Training

🌟 Today, we honor the legacy of SO1 (SEAL) Art Nicholas, a true hero. Nicholas, a member of the Scouts & Raiders during Operation Torch, played a vital role in shaping amphibious warfare. 🌊 Last summer, Naval Special Warfare’s Basic Training Command paid tribute to Nicholas, naming him an honorary SEAL and presenting his son with Trident during SEAL Qualification Training Class 355 graduation. Senior SEALs visited his home, expressing gratitude for his service and enduring impact. 🙌 Watch the moving tribute here: https://lnkd.in/gpCSA4bq As an unsung hero of Operation Torch, Nicholas conducted daring reconnaissance and sabotage missions behind enemy lines before the existence of Navy SEALs. 🌠 Operation Torch marked the first large-scale amphibious invasion of World War II, liberating North Africa from Axis powers and paving the way for the European invasion. 🌍 Nicholas, 101, passed away in Englewood, Florida on May 2 and is survived by his wife Hazel. #USSOCOM #NavySEALs #NavySWCC #OperationTorch #WWII #Leadership #Victory #USSOCOM

#MedalofHonor Operation Red Wings: On 6/28/2005, LT Michael Murphy earned the Medal of Honor as the leader of a special reconnaissance patrol. "...When the primary communicator fell mortally wounded, Lieutenant Murphy repeatedly attempted to call for assistance for his beleaguered teammates. Realizing the impossibility of communicating in the extreme terrain, and in the face of almost certain death, he fought his way into open terrain to gain a better position to transmit a call. This deliberate, heroic act deprived him of cover, exposing him to direct enemy fire. Finally achieving contact with his headquarters, Lieutenant Murphy maintained his exposed position while he provided his location and requested immediate support for his team. In his final act of bravery, he continued to engage the enemy until he was mortally wounded, gallantly giving his life for his country and for the cause of freedom..."

19 years ago today, on the evening of June 27th, a four-man special reconnaissance team of SEALs was inserted into the mountains of Afghanistan. The patrol was compromised the following day, leading to a gunfight between the patrol and an enemy militia force. The gunfight resulted in three casualties and one survivor from the mission. A quick reaction force was sent to assist, but the rescue party of 16 - eight SEALs and eight Soldiers from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment “Night Stalkers”- was shot down by enemy fire. Today, we continue to honor the legacy of Operation Red Wings and remember the sacrifice of these service members #americasnavy #navalspecialwarfare #navyseals #operationredwings #160thsoar
