The Navy's Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC, pronounced "swick") operate and maintain the inventory of state-of-the-art, high-performance boats used to support SEALs and special operations missions. Individually, SEALs and SWCC go through separate, but similar, specialized training programs that emphasize special operations in the maritime environment. SWCC are trained extensively in craft and weapons tactics, techniques and procedures. Focusing on clandestine infiltration and exfiltration of SEALs and other special operations forces, SWCC provide dedicated, rapid mobility in shallow water areas where larger ships cannot operate. Like SEALs, SWCC must be physically fit, highly motivated, combat-focused and responsive in high stress situations.
These guys are amazing. I just watched a documentary about them. I dont know how they can fit so much ammunition, SEALs, then the crew members themselves on such a small boat. I thought it was amazing at how fast the boats stop. Anyone know anything else aboat the SWCCs?
