The United States Navy's Sea Air and Land Teams commonly known as Navy SEALs are the U.S. Navy's principal special operations force and a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC) as well as the maritime component of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).

The acronym is derived from their capacity to operate at sea in the air and on land. In the War on Terror SEALs have been utilized almost exclusively for land-based operations including Direct Action Hostage Rescue Counter Terrorism Special Reconnaissance unconventional warfare and foreign internal defense operations. Without exception all SEALs are male members of either the United States Navy or the United States Coast Guard.
