Author photo

Discover the intense and gut-wrenching crucible of training endured by Special Warfare Combat Crewman (SWCC) candidates.

Being in an SWCC team means you're part of a very elite group of Naval Special Warfare operators. Navy SWCC play a vital and crucial role in supporting Navy SEALs and other special operations forces in maritime environments.

Their expertise in boat operations, firepower, and teamwork makes them an indispensable component of the US Navy's special operations capabilities.

All SWCC are experts in operating and maintaining high-speed, heavily armed watercraft, including Special Operations Craft-Riverine (SOC-R) and the Mark V Special Operations Craft.

Their primary mission is to transport and provide fire support for Navy SEALs and other special operations forces during combat and reconnaissance missions in littoral and riverine areas.
