the exclusive mission of swcc operators is to expertly drive and provide large-caliber gunfire support on specialized high-tech, high-speed, and low-profile surface combatant craft to secretly infiltrate and exfiltrate navy seals on special operations missions worldwide. these missions include direct action on land, sea, coastline or rivers (such as strikes, captures, and ship take downs by visit, board, search, and seizure), special reconnaissance, coastal patrol and interdiction of suspect ships and surface craft, counter-terrorism operations, riverine warfare, deception operations, search and rescue operations, and foreign internal defense missions. although seals and swcc undergo different training programs, both are focused on special operations in maritime environments. the swcc program includes extensive training on craft and weapons tactics, techniques, and procedures. like seals, swcc must show physical fitness, possess strong motivation, be combat focused, and maintain responsiveness in high stress situations.
