Do Navy Seals train harder than Marines?
Table of Contents
Although the Marines are highly respected and considered one of the most elite fighting forces, the Navy SEALs training is far more rigorous and demanding than that of the Marines.
Pre-screening, selection and then training to become a Navy SEAL are among the most comprehensive and difficult in the military. The washout rate at the Navy’s Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training course is also high.
What is the difference between the SAS and Navy SEALs?
SAS does more hostage rescue/CT operations than the SEALs do unless you count a special SEALs department – DEVGRU (in public mostly known as SEAL Team 6). In order to thin out the herd, the SAS holds one of the most arduous and rigorous selection and training programs in the modern special operations community.
What is it like to train with a seal or SAS?
When a SEAL and SAS meet each other, they acknowledge a kindred spirit. Sure, there may be some chest-beating and bragging but they almost always relish the opportunity to work and train together. They train in different ways and for different things. Better training will always be subjective.
About 250 complete their training and join approximately 2,000 more active SEALs, who work among nine active duty teams (East and West Coast). Some SEAL candidates choose to drop out of the program, and some are forced out in progress. How hard is SAS selection and training?
What is the dropout rate of Navy SEALs?
And remember the SAS selection course has a 90\% dropout rate compared with a 75\% dropout rate for the SEAL course if that means anything. Navy SEALs, SAS, Spetsnaz, Army Special Forces, Delta Force or any others around the world are extremely professional and lethal organizations.
