NSWC

The Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) was established in 1987 as the naval component of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Headquartered in Coronado, California, NSWC oversees the elite Navy SEALs, Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC), and supporting units. Its origins trace back to World War II frogmen and Underwater Demolition Teams, which pioneered maritime special operations. NSWC has since played a crucial role in major conflicts and counterterrorism operations worldwide, including the Global War on Terror, continually evolving to address emerging maritime threats.
