Combat Rescue

Whether it is one of their own, or a civilian caught in the chaos of war, combat rescue is one of the most important–and dangerous–roles at which the Navy SEALs excel. Using the three traits they are best known for–speed, surprise and violence of action, the SEALs are sent across the globe to take on rescue missions few others would dare attempt. From the jungles of Vietnam to the mountains of Afghanistan, the SEALs have proved time and again that when it comes to risking their own lives to bring the good guys back home, they are a breed apart.
