―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
SEAL Team 6 is a special operations force for the United States Navy, and was created in the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw. The failure of the Operation made the US Navy saw the need for a full-time counter-terrorist unit, and tasked Navy officer Richard Marcinko with its design and development. SEAL Team 6 was formally created in October 1980, and Marcinko was the first commanding officer of this new unit.
In 1987, SEAL Team 6 was dissolved. A new unit, the "Naval Special Warfare Development Group" (NSWDG), or DEVGRU, succeeded the SEAL Team 6. The name SEAL Team 6 is still often used in reference to DEVGRU.
