Reports that SEAL Team Six is training in South Korea are false, a senior defense official told Fox News on Tuesday.
SEAL Team Six is a direct action and hostage rescue team, part of the national mission force, not the type of unit that would participate in a training exercise in South Korea, a separate U.S. defense official said.
There are U.S. special operations teams -- including SEALs -- who always conduct training in the region with their South Korean counterparts, according to officials. They say the U.S. forces will continue to do so in the annual Foal Eagle exercise, currently running until the end of April. But SEAL Team Six is not part of this training.
Local U.S. special ops units will participate in the annual training with South Korea, amid recent North Korean provocations, including the communist regime launching four ballistic missiles earlier this month landing 190 miles from Japan.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported on Monday that various teams of U.S. forces would participate.
Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson contributed to this report.

I echo your sentiments. The adults are back in charge. We’re not going to telegraph our military maneuvers to “score” them against a public opinion rubric.
IF this was happening and someone from the Pentagon leaked the information, we still have a big problem with intelligence leaking from the confines of our federal government, and THAT is the bigger story here.
It is possible, however, that the Trump administration is deliberately putting out false information to triangulate the leaker or leakers. If certain information is expected to stay confined to specific teams and somehow it made it out of that team, they know that team is responsible for the leak.
Obama was playing checkers, and his cronies are doing the same. Trump may not be a grandmaster, but playing chess against a bunch of reprobates seldom ends well for the idiots.
They should put out more stories like this. Here's one I would like to see:
US Government Offers Attractive Incentives to Kim Jung-Un's Security Staff
The US government has instituted a new incentive package for any of Kim's security detail who neutralizes the "dear leader". The US will grant that person immediate US citizenship, and will assist him in obtaining work in Hollywood as a personal bodyguard to a young, sexy Hollywood movie star.
Sounds like an elite assassin team, just like in the movies, expect Democrats calling for investigations.
They like Kim, he’s communist.

Send him a “reset button” mounted on a box. And when he pushes the button...heh.
Is Seal Team Six the new bogeyman we use to scare bad guy rulers of other countries?
I thought Obama got them all killed. New incarnation?
It’s against the law to assassinate foreign leaders since the Ford administration as far as I know.
Is there no Seal Team 9?
“Let the story stay out there, make Fat Boy Kim wonder.....”
I have to agree. Keep his butt off balance.
What about team 9? I see 8 and 10 but not 9.
Is this story a plot by Trump to scare him?
First things first.
They need to prioritize threats to America.
That’s why they should actually be training in New York to bring George Soros to justice!
“It’s against the law to assassinate foreign leaders since the Ford administration as far as I know.”

Faster and less costly in American lives than regime-change wars. Shudda took out Saddam that way. Don’t know if the CIA is competent enough to do it - Castro died of old age, after all.
“What about team 9? I see 8 and 10 but not 9.”

“Seal Team Nine From Outer Space”? New Ed Wood Jr movie.
Good question.
No because 7 8 9.
“Is this story a plot by Trump to scare him?”
~~~~~~
The Trumpster is good at throwing enemies a curveball.
I’d never underestimate the SEALs, but the concept itself seems undo-able.
I agree. Take him out with a missile and don’t risk SEAL lives.
Pentagon shoots down Chuck Norris movie plot.
Good. Seals have a knack for getting killed on a regular basis.
Seal Team 9 is on double secret probation.
I love psyops; I hate the MSM, and this story plus the “war” between Trump and Bannon is red meat for the enemy (both the MSM and our foreign and domestic enemies) to chew on and occupy themselves while Trump and his team (including Bannon) get copious work done for us!
“I agree. Take him out with a missile and don’t risk SEAL lives.”

Or with a drone or two.
The WH is busy batting down false reports daily.
