re: Military Buffs: Navy SEALs Are Comparable to Which Army Unit?

The UDT teams performed a beach recon and demolition function. When special warfare became a thing in the early sixties they expanded a new role which tbh which is a better fit for the Marines. Now what remains of the old UDT function is left to EOD while the SEALS are off doing their thing.

IYAM one of the SEAL's big problems is that they drank the Marcinko koolaid. They would have done well to adopt their own version of the Army's sneaky pete philosophy. The SF dudes I've been around you'd never know what they do for a living except maybe being in a little better shape than the average guy.
