Although Gallagher was acquitted of murder after lengthy legal proceedings, he was found guilty of taking a photograph with a dead terrorist.

NAVY SEAL ENLISTED GENERAL REQUIREMENTS By U.S. Navy SEAL + SWCC Scout Team Posted May 13, 2016

More recently SEALs in Iraq were reprimanded or pulled out for drug and alcohol use as Taskandpurpose reported.

A “Call to Action” directive released to senior leaders since Admiral Colin Green took command late July, obtained by Navy Times, returns the SEAL and boat teams to standards expected of service members across the fleet. Leaders are ordered to conduct “routine inspections of your units and strictly enforce all Navy grooming and uniform standards, including adherence to all Navy traditions, customs and ceremonies,” according to the Navy Times.

Earlier this year Admiral Green had ordered investigations into recent scandals. And immediately after he took command on the end of July, he issued a letter as reported and quoted by USNI, to include:

1. In our fast paced operational environment, the behavior of our people and the integrity of our organization are continually being tested. The trust placed in Naval Special Warfare by our military and civilian leaders, the TSOCs, and ultimately the American people must never be taken for granted. The responsibility for ethical and professional behavior must be taken seriously — by everyone, at every level of our organization.

Admiral Green letter

2. We have a problem. Some of our subordinate formations have failed to maintain good order and discipline and as a result and for good reason, our NSW culture is being questioned. I don’t know yet if we have a culture problem, I do know that we have a good order and discipline problem that must be addressed immediately. Good order and discipline is the foundation for every military organization and it is a leadership responsibility. As Commander, I own it. As Commodores, you also own it. We must now take a proactive approach to prevent the next breach of ethical and professional behavior in our formations, instead of continuing on our current consequence management approach.

3. By 7 August 2019, I am directing you to provide I written commander’s estimate that describes how you and your command team will develop a plan of action that is informed by “Naval Special Warfare’s Force Ethics Assessment” dated 22 March 2019. This document gives a holistic assessment of the community to include a way forward. As professional development, I direct reading the first 2 chapters of “A Tactical Ethic ” by Dick Couch. This book describes how we have had these problems in the past. and thus provides a case study that we can use to recalibrate our culture and regain our credibility.

4. Additionally, I am directing you to engage everyone in your formations (in garrison and deployed) within the next 2 weeks on this issue; I want all hands to understand that “we have a problem” and that this is our main effort and my top priority. I will review and consider your recommended actions to develop my direction and way ahead to the Naval Special Warfare enterprise.

5. Your commander’s estimate will include:

• a. Develop a problem statement from lite ECH III and below perspective.
• b. Develop recommendations to ensure the NSW culture is aligned with our ETHOS.
• c. Develop a plus for “buy in” from the ranks, with a sense of urgency.
• d. Describe your plan for intrusive leadership at the ECH Ill and below level.

6. I expect good order and discipline to be instilled in and maintained by everyone in NSW. I know our leaders (officers and non-commissioned officers) are fully capable to take this on and I will strive to provide inspired arid inspiring leadership.

Commander, Naval Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Collin P. Green delivers remarks during the change of office ceremony during which NAVSEA 06 (PMS-340) Major Program Manager Capt. Robert “Chad” Muse was relieved by Capt. Brian O’Lavin. Lakeway)

Rear Admiral Collin P. Green command tours include SEAL Team 3, where he deployed as commander, Naval Special Warfare Task Group – Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom; Naval Special Warfare Unit 3; Naval Special Warfare Group 1, and most recently as U.S. Special Operations Command South.

What they're talking about Eddie Gallagher is A SEAL recently acquitted of premeditated stabbing murder of a wounded teenage ISIS POW in Iraq, back in '17. Check out the article, interesting read.

As for the book "A Tactical Ethic" the Admiral is referring to, here is the synopsis:

Following the success of his recent book on Navy SEALs in Iraq, The Sheriff of Ramadi, bestselling author and combat veteran Dick Couch now examines the importance of battlefield ethics in effectively combating terrorists without losing the battle for the hearts of the local population. A former SEAL who led one of the only successful POW rescue operations in Vietnam, Couch warns that the mistakes made in Vietnam forty years ago are being repeated in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that the stakes are even higher now. His book takes a critical look at the battlefield conduct of U.S. ground-combat units fighting insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since the prize of the fight on the modern battlefield is the people, he warns every death has a consequence. Every killing has both strategic and moral significance for U.S. warriors.
From his unique and qualified perspective, Couch examines the sources and issues that can lead to wrong conduct on the battlefield, and explains how it comes about and what can be done to correct it. He considers the roles of command intent and the official rules of engagement, but his primary focus is on ethical conduct at the squad and platoon level. Tactical ethics, according to the author's definition, is the moral and ethical armor that should accompany every American warrior into battle, and these standards apply to the engaged unit as well as to the individual. A harsh critic of immoral combat tactics, Couch offers realistic measures to correct these potentially devastating errors. He argues that as a nation, we must do all we can to protect our soldiers' humanity, for their sake, so they can return from service with honor, and for our sake as a people and for our standing in the world.

Sounds like it should be mandatory reading for many branches of the military.

Just the blatant: Army Rangers don't train or deal with partisans. That's Green Berets. Army Rangers range from commando style raids, ambushes to light infantry shock troops. In simple terms, they kill with some reconnasiance ability...

Also, SEALs don't have a 99 percent drop rate. Its more 65-75 percent. Their training is hard and brutal but that video is just pure 'superhero' nonsense.

After half way, I turned it off. It was probably sponsored by the U.S Navy. A SEAL would probably be embarrased by it...

We wouldn't be having this thread if SEALs knew how to feel shame, but here we are.

 

[JosephStalin]

Yup, heads rolling. The guys fired knew this was coming. My guess...the commander and the command master chief have either put in their retirement papers or will do so real quick. The lieutenant commander, if he has enough time in, will have done the same. Now, depending just how badly the Navy is pissed off at the lieutenant commander, he could well be put quietly in a corner until retirement-eligible. Am also sure the lieutenant in charge of the platoon kicked back to the States has been fired, likely his executive officer, and the team's chief petty officer, maybe some leading petty officers have been fired, plus non-judicial and other Uniform Code of Military Justice action for various platoon members. If the lieutenant and chief petty officer have enough time in to retire, they've surely put in the papers. Exec and leading petty officers may be fucked unless they decide to just put them quietly in a corner for a while until this shit blows over. This happens in the military more often than you may think.

Now the SEAL leadership must make very sure not to tar all SEALs with the same brush. The vast majority serve honorably. Personally, I'd go out and talk to as many SEAL teams as I could. Gist - The vast majority of you serve quite well and honorably. I'm your biggest supporter. We're cleaning house of the ones that aren't. I'm throwing their asses out of the SEAL community and the Navy. No more is expected of you than is expected of any other member of the Navy, including me. Now let's get out there and take care of business, gentlemen.

Top Navy SEAL admiral fires entire leadership team of SEAL Team 7

Top Navy SEAL admiral fires entire leadership team of SEAL Team 7

The top admiral in charge of Naval Special Warfare has fired the entire leadership team of SEAL Team 7 over a "breakdown of good order and discipline," a spokeswoman for Naval Special Warfare Command told Task & Purpose on Friday.

Cmdr. Edward Mason, the commanding officer of ST7; Lt. Cmdr. Luke Im, the executive officer; and Command Master Chief Hugh Spangler were all relieved of their leadership posts on Friday, said Cmdr. Tamara Lawrence.
The relief was carried out by Rear Adm. Colin Green, the commanding officer of NSW. Lawrence said their relief was "due to a loss of confidence that resulted from leadership failures that caused a breakdown of good order and discipline within two subordinate units while deployed to combat zones."

The spokeswoman declined to name who would take their place, citing operational security concerns for those SEALs and their families.

The "two subordinate units" are likely references to ST7 Alpha and Foxtrot Platoon, though Lawrence declined to name them when asked by Task & Purpose.

SEAL Team 7 Alpha Platoon made national news after SEAL Chief Eddie Gallagher was accused of war crimes during a 2017 deployment to Mosul, Iraq. Despite his acquittal on murder charges in early July, his court-martial revealed that members of the platoon had constructed their own rooftop bar in Iraq and engaged in other alleged misconduct on deployment.

More recently, the entirety of SEAL Team 7 Foxtrot Platoon was pulled out of Iraq last month amid allegations of a boozy Fourth of July party and an allegation of sexual assault.

The relief comes amid these and other high-profile scandals in the SEAL community that has ignited a discussion amongst the senior ranks about ethics and discipline in the small force, which numbers less than 2,500 personnel in a Navy of more than 437,000 active-duty and reserve sailors.

Green sent a letter to commanders in July proclaiming that "we have a problem," while urging them to detail what issues they see and provide recommendations by Aug. 7 on how to get the SEAL community off the skyline.

"I don't know yet if we have a culture problem," Rear Adm. Colin Green wrote in a letter to the command. "I do know that we have a good order and discipline problem that must be addressed immediately."

"Some of our subordinate formations have failed to maintain good order and discipline and as a result and for good reason," the culture of the SEALs "is being questioned," he added.

Oh wow, shit is getting real.

About time, I suppose. Let's see how this develops.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

The Navy is taking proactive steps and making changes to SEAL training.


https://www.duffelblog.com/2019/09/navy-relocates-bud-s-to-fort-leavenworth/

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — The US Navy has decided to get in front of some of the SEAL controversies by relocating BUD/S to Fort Leavenworth, home of the Army’s Command and General Staff College.

The instillation also is home to the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, which houses the DoD’s sole maximum security prison—and 89 percent of all living Navy SEALs.


Commander Josiah Taylor, public affairs officer for the newly renamed Joint Base Leavenworth, says it’s a good deal for the Navy and the larger Department of Defense.

“We feel it’s an opportunity for a real juicy outreach program,” Taylor said. “SEALs who have gotten caught can now mentor SEAL ‘pups’ to teach them how to not get caught drinking on deployment, how not to stash a dead hooker in a car trunk, and all the other murder-schmurder sort of stuffy stuff.”

SEALs will be trained on JB Leavenworth will use it as a main base.

“This will cut down costs dramatically,” Taylor says, “as moving a SEAL from trial to imprisonment will now be as easy as driving down the street.”


Taylor notes, “This will also allow for the traditions of the SEALs to also be brought in to Joint Base Leavenworth. For example, there is a bell located in the SEAL wing of the Leavenworth prison.”

He adds, that this has caused some consternation, though.

“The SEALs are confused as to how and why ringing the bell doesn’t decrease their sentence or free them.”

 

[SmallTalk201]

Dead hookers!? Wtf?

 

[JosephStalin]

Some more on the SEAL chief petty and commissioned officers who were fired.

The lieutenant commander needs to find somewhere to hide for a while, until this blows over. Hope the Navy will cut him some slack. Officers with Im's experience take a while to develop. He'll need to make commander to get to 20 years. Im was first eligible for commander in 2018. Either he's met one commander's board or would meet one very soon. Not good. If he was already picked up for commander, bet his promotion will be red-lined. If he's meeting a board soon, his packet will be pulled. Navy has "up or out", basically. If Im is passed over for commander twice, if he's lucky he'd be picked for continuation. If not, he has to get out of the Navy.

Commander Mason and Master Chief Spangler surely have their retirement papers in. I'm sure they'll find civilian employment fairly easily, perhaps become contractors to the military. Happens all the time.

Why the entire SEAL Team 7 leadership team got canned

Their reliefs come in the wake of WARCOM commander Rear Adm. Collin Green's push to clean up the ranks of special operators following a series of scandals at home and abroad.

Why the entire SEAL Team 7 leadership team got canned
By: Navy Times staff   3 days ago

In the wake of a series of scandals dogging California-based SEAL Team 7, the entire senior leadership team was relieved of duty on Friday morning.

Rear Adm. Collin Green fired the team’s commanding officer, Cmdr. Edward James Mason, executive officer Lt. Cmdr. Luke Hong Il Im, and their top enlisted adviser, Command Master Chief Hugh Chance Spangler, due to what officials termed “a loss of confidence that resulted from leadership failures that caused a breakdown of good order and discipline within two subordinate units while deployed to combat zones.”

WARCOM spokeswoman Capt. Tamara Lawrence told Navy Times that officials will not identify the triad who will replace the three leaders “due to the nature of their work, for their safety, for the safety of their teammates and families, and the safety of current and future missions.”

The statements by Lawrence and other SEAL officials to Navy Times never implicated the triad for any personal misconduct but instead point a spotlight at alleged wrongdoing by their subordinate units.

Lawrence won’t identify the two units tied to the alleged misbehavior, but they might be SEAL Team 7′s Foxtrot platoon and another detachment that was sent to Yemen.

Following a boozy July 4th party in Iraq, Special Operations Command superiors booted Foxtrot back to Naval Base Coronado, with ongoing investigations for sexual assault, fraternization and other allegations of misconduct trailing in their wake.

Citing the clandestine nature of the counter-terrorism work there, officials have been quieter about the Yemen unit.
Another master chief from that detachment was relieved of his position on the team but he won’t be named by WARCOM because he’s not in a leadership triad.





A highly decorated SEAL who is widely respected throughout the ranks of special operators, Mason did not return a text message left on a mobile phone registered to his name. Other lines were busy, too.

Originally from Minnesota and educated at the Naval Academy, he was commissioned in 1999 and pinned on his present rank 16 years later, according to military records released to Navy Times.
Contacted by phone, Im said, “no comment” and then hung up.

Also highly decorated for combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, Im has not responded to text messages placed by Navy Times since Aug. 13, when rumors about the triad’s firing first began percolating out of the Coronado, California-based team.

Originally from New York, Im graduated from the Naval Academy and was commissioned in 2005. He picked up lieutenant commander in 2014.

Messages left by Navy Times with Spangler were not returned.

A legend in the special warfare community, he enlisted in the Navy in 1987 out of Florida and rose to master chief/special operations in 2015, according to his military records.

Spangler didn’t become a SEAL until late 1996, following stints on board the guided-missile cruiser Biddle, the dock landing ship Pensacola and the medium auxiliary floating drydock Resolute.

His decorations include eight Bronze Star Medals with Valor, two Joint Service Commendation Medals with Valor, four Presidential Unit Citations and the Purple Heart.



The triad’s removal comes at an awkward time for SEAL Team 7 and the larger WARCOM.

The bulk of the team’s Foxtrot Platoon comes off leave on Sept. 11 and there’s a Disciplinary Review Board of chief petty officers slated to convene for them the following day at Group 1 to investigate and mete out justice for the alleged alcohol offenses in Iraq.

The reliefs and the DRB also are all playing out in the wake of Green’s Aug. 20 “back to basics” directive that warned leaders he’ll hold them “accountable for all substandard issues related to your personnel on and off duty.”

Saying “a portion of this Force is ethically misaligned” with traditional SEAL culture because of those “who fail to correct this behavior” and instead “prioritize this misalignment over the loyalty to Navy and Nation," Green’s four-page memo also ordered his special operators to get regulation haircuts, undergo uniform inspections and ditch unapproved patches and other insignia.

“This drift ends now,” Green wrote in his order.

Please explain more

For, umm, research purposes of course

Stripping cadets and humiliating them. Sticking things up the victims ass.
Its basically one step away from spitting then entering and thrusting til you cum

Also all the gay jokes about the navy and when you are away from women for so long...like prison...naturally you just go for the other men

This is essentially the Chain of Command saying, that they're not buying the same line of bullshit anymore.

Listen to the crap the Seals come out with and compare it to say a SNCO in an Infantry Battalion Mortar Platoon. Who can you build a functioning military around. A fantasist that's looking for a book deal or a TV series on the Discovery channel, or a SNCO that wants to do his 22 years in the military to the best of his ability.

And they're getting shit-canned for #2?
