“The SEALs disagree.”
Seals for the most part use basic Marine Corp tactical concepts mixed with what appears to be police SWAT team tactics, although I’m sure that they have refined those tactics to meet their own specific mission needs.
Reading Marcus Lattrell’s Book “Sole Survivor” I noted that he kept on referring to the various tactics his team used as “that’s how SEALs fight” leaving the impression that it was unique to the SEALs.
I got a laugh out of it because they were the same “fire team” tactics I learned in the Marines during the 1960s, and that the Marine Raiders had developed circa 1941-2, and practiced by the whole Marine Corps since 1944.
Major Jones brought his 1st Battalion 6th Marines ashore at Betio Island, Tarawa Atoll, in rubber boats. His BLT (1000 men)landed across Green Beach, along the lagoon inlet, which had been heavily mined. They paddled in over the mines. At that time in the MC the 1st battalion of every Marine Regiment was practiced/skilled in landing by rubber boat....or as it was known the “condom fleet.”
This battalion was the only battalion to have landed on Betio without causality..... Reading the modern military forums many posters think that the SEALs invented the rubber landing boat! Lolololol....
Funny how those things get mixed up.....Thing is ALL military branches learn from each other and build on what they learn from their brethren.....
Speaking of mixed up Marcus’s book and the subsequent movie are titled “Lone Survivor” not “Sole Survivor”.
