―SEAL Team 6
The SEAL Team 6, also known as U.S. Navy SEALs in Deleted Scenes, is a Counter-Terrorist faction featured in the Counter-Strike series.
Overview
The United States Navy's "Sea, Air, and Land" Teams, commonly abbreviated as the Navy SEALs, are the U.S. Navy's primary special operations force. They had their roots in WWII US Navy Underwater Demolition Teams, and the first two teams were formed in 1962.
DEVGRU (United States Naval Special Warfare DEVelopment GRoUp), more often referred to as its predecessor SEAL Team Six, is a special operations force for the United States Navy, and had its roots as a unit created in the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw. During the Iran hostage crisis in 1979, Richard Marcinko was one of two U.S. Navy representatives for a Joint Chiefs of Staff task force known as the TAT (Terrorist Action Team). The purpose of the TAT was to develop a plan to free the American hostages held in Iran. In the wake of the disaster at the Desert One base in Iran, the Navy saw the need for a full-time counter-terrorist unit, and tasked Marcinko with its design and development.
Marcinko was the first commanding officer of this new unit. At the time there were two SEAL teams. Marcinko named the unit SEAL Team Six in order to confuse Soviet intelligence as to the number of actual SEAL teams in existence. SEAL Team Six was formally created in October 1980.
In 1987 SEAL Team Six was dissolved. A new unit named the "Naval Special Warfare Development Group" (NSWDG), or DEVGRU, was formed, essentially as SEAL Team Six's successor. Reasons for the disbanding are varied, but the name SEAL Team Six is often used in reference to DEVGRU.
