In America’s new
war, the first guns in the fight are special operations forces, including the
Navy SEALs, specially trained warriors who operate with precision, swiftness,
and lethal force. In the constantly shifting war on terror, SEAL units—small in
number, flexible, stealthy, and efficient—are more vital than ever to America’s
security as they take the battle to an elusive enemy around the globe.
But how are Navy SEALs made? Dick Couch, author of the acclaimed Warrior
Elite, follows SEALs on the ground and in the water as they undergo SEAL
Tactical Training, where they master combat skills such as precision shooting,
demolitions, secure communications, parachuting, diving, and first aid. From
there, the men enter operational platoons, where they subordinate their
individual abilities to the mission of the group and train for special
operations in specific geographic environments.
Never before has a civilian writer been granted such close access to the
training of America’s most elite military forces. The Finishing School is
essential reading for anyone who wants to know what goes into the making of
America’s best warriors.
