There both very difficult training programs but you really cant compare their training because there two totally different units
--------------------------
Navy SEALs have the highest percentage of dropouts during training of any elite units in the US Military. There is also a much higher level of cross-training than Rangers. The Navys unofficial attitude toward SEAL training is to push the candidates to a level where mental breakdowns would occur before physical ones. The mind is easier to condition than what SEAL and BUDS schools will do to a trainees bodies. Only 'unique' individuals will have the physical blessings to endure training on this scale without their body breaking down. Romantic notions enforced by Hollywood movies aside, Navy SEALS have a reputation as one of the very hardest special operations forces in history.
the spetsnaz Sorry bro, it wasnt Navy SEALs vs. Spetsnaz, it was Green Beret vs. Spetsnaz, and yes there is an incredible difference between Green Beret and the Navy SEALs
No
well if your talking about water combot definetly the navy seals, but if your talking hand to hand combat then a green beret, they are tought about a million ways to kill you, like a green beret can break your neck with 1 punch
46 US Navy SEALs and 834 US Army SF men (Green Beret) were killed in the Vietnam War.
Beret's are between 20-30. Anyone in the army is age-eligible to become Ranger qualified. Doesn't mean everyone who goes through can pass the training though. Don't know about SEALs and Delta Force. They are the grizzly old vets though so they're probably older.
He created special warfare units...or at least gave them priority in future military involvement; the Green Beret and the SEALs.
Yes: Advisors, Green Beret, SEALs, Rangers, LRRPS, ARPs, Snipers. All were fairly good at jungle warfare.
No beret has yet been manufactured that could possibly cover such a vast empty space.
To my knowledge no. The Green Berets are Army Special forces and without enlisting in the army you wouldn't be able to join. A possible exception to this may be in the Delta Force. But the Marines recently made a special forces unit just as good if not better than the Army Special Forces. Keep in mind though that any special forces training is ridiculously hard, usually requires you to have field experience, and often times people come to you instead of vise versa. So its not really like just signing up for the swim team.
US Navy SEALs were a smaller force than the US Army's Special Forces (Green Beret); they probably never numbered more than 400 men during the whole war. Nearly 50 SEALs were killed in Vietnam; compared to over 800 Green Berets killed during the war. SEALs were primarily instructors (advisers) and covert operators specializing in blue and brown water (riverine) training and operations. The SEALs paralleled the Army's SF units; minus the "blue & brown" water operations.
okay, the US Navy SEALs were created in Vietnam, by JFK in 1962. They were used as a counter- guerilla force for the Vietnamese(NVA). The SEALs had such a bad-ass reputation, that they were called the men with green faces, relating to the face-paint camoflauge. There is no exact number but they were lots of places. SEALs also make up .05% in the US Navy. back in Nam, they didn't have lots of people in the Navy. so you could imagine how many SEALs were in service. (not a lot) SEALs are the worlds most elite force, proven by the training regime known as B.U.D.S. and even before the training you have to get into a prep-school for training for B.U.D.S. that's how hard it is. and the PST scores have to be through the roof. SEALs are better trained then the SAS(special air service) because of their ability to do everything, everywhere and do it the best. SEAL stands for SEa Air and Land. SAS stands for special AIR service. they would fall In line with the Green Beret more than the SEALs.
either the seals,navy, or marines or military people in Iraq who r geerals or somthin Special Forces wear the green beret. Paratroopers wear the red beret. Until a few years ago US Army Rangers were the only ones allowed to wear the black beret, but in a controversial decision all US Army personnel were given the black beret to improve their morale. To placate the Rangers they were given a beret of a different color, tan or khaki if I am not mistaken.
