Are the Navy Seals, then the Task 6 of the Navy Seals, a unit so secret that neither the White House nor the Defense Department officially recognizes its existence. They are the elite of the elite. If the Seals, which stands for Sea-Air-Land teams (teams of Sea-Air-Land), was created by President John F.
Kennedy in 1962 as a new weapon in the war against terrorism, Team 6 is a direct consequence of the failure experienced by the Government of Jimmy Carter during the crisis of the restructuring of Iran in 1980, which lasted 444 days. Carter approved a secret operation was a fiasco and was possibly so lost re-election against Ronald Reagan.
According to various published reports by former members of the Seals, "the training that is experienced in accessing that body is the fiercest that may exist in the world." These two years of physical training wild usually left the way for many of the candidates of a body that has only 2,500 men.
Women are not accepted. The Seals are organized in teams ranging from 1 to 5 and 7 to 10. The best aspire to the call All Star Team, Team 6, as reported to The New York Times Lalo Roberti, 27, and former Navy Seal. In the pre-admission testing is required to do 100 push ups and sit-ups in less than two minutes, you run about 2.5 miles in less than seven minutes (world record is 3,000 meters in seven minutes and 20 seconds) and swim about 600 meters in less than 13.
Last week, the president Barack Obama gave the green light to the CIA director, Leon Panetta, to the assault on the compound where Osama Bin Laden was in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Panetta proceeded under the so-called Title 50, which was supposed to be a covert operation, and placed in the hands of 79 men of the Navy Seals.
In any military or police operations there is what is known as rules of engagement (ROE, acronyms in English, rules of engagement), the rules that determine when, where and how to use force. Of course, Team 6 are secret, though no doubt had them because while they killed bin Laden and his bodyguards and messengers with accurate shots to the head or heart, only wounded in the leg to the woman who accompanied the leader Al Qaeda during the assault.
The grueling training brutal culmination of years preparing for the Seals with what is known as 'hell week', six months training in Coronado, California. During that week, applicants will sleep an average of four hours in a total of five days and will not stop running, swimming in freezing water, diving his hands and feet tied and spread on clay.
Sometimes be removed from the water to be sprayed with water even colder and re-dipping. During this week is where it has coined the phrase that serves as a slogan and support to continue, "the only good day was yesterday." Some men rate the instructor harasses a megaphone as 'the Antichrist'.
Those who wish may give up at any time, simply rings the bell placed on the training ground for that purpose. Two out of three applicants makes it sound. Over 80% of the candidates fails to pass the tests. It says at least one has died during development. Years of experience in the Seals qualify to take the big step: access to Team 6.
While ordinary Seals have an average of 22 to 25 years, those in the elite team their thirties and in some cases over forty. A future member of Team 6 during your workout will be parachuted from 9,000 feet with oxygen masks and have to land and take control of a ship allegedly kidnapped.
Only half of candidates achieved their dream of belonging to the 300 members who are supposed to belong to Team 6.
