50 Year Anniversary US NAVY SEAL Patch – Naval Special Warfare Groups – BUDS  /  5″ X 4″ – Wax Backing – Non Merrowed Edge

The United States Navy’s Sea, Air, and Land Teams, commonly known as the US Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy’s principal special operations force and a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) and SOCOM.

“SEAL” is always capitalized in reference to members of the Naval Special Warfare community. The acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea, in the air, and on land. In the War on Terror, SEALs have been utilized almost exclusively for land-based operations, including Direct Action, Hostage Rescue, Counter Terrorism, Special Reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, manhunts and foreign internal defense operations. SEALs are male members of the United States Navy. An exchange program with the Coast Guard, which graduated three Coast Guardsmen as SEALs, was suspended in 2011.
