Tougher than Navy SEALS? Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School

Показать описание
When the US Military needs to train its soldiers and officers for underwater combat, they’re sent to the Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School in Key West, Florida. Originally intended to give US special forces a tactical edge during the Cold War, one of its main purposes now is to host the Combat Diver Qualification Course or CDQC, a grueling 7-week training course teaching special operators how to function in underwater combat situations and participants include Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and others.

During the CDQC, trainees learn skills like how to work with complex closed-circuit respirators that produce no bubbles. The most challenging part of the course is the One-Man Confidence Exam. Students enter the pool with a blackout mask to simulate night, then have their breathing equipment ripped from them, are spun and flipped by instructors, and must work to restore their respirator before they pass out. Through exercises like this one, the Underwater Operations School sorts out the top special forces and prepares them to remain calm under immense stress.

When I was in the Army I used to train guys for pre-dive qualifications to be eligible to attend dive school. In that training alone they would have to swim 50m underwater in one breath, tread open water for 5 min with hands above your head sometimes with a weight, swim 25m with their arms bound behind their body and legs bound together, and while tied up bob up and down then do a series of flips and surface then dive one more time and recover their swim goggles with their teeth. Although it sounds very difficult, once you've practiced every day over a few weeks it gets pretty easy. Most guys still fail out at the schoolhouse though. It has a high attrition rate.

Every operator I know who’s been to this course said they’d go through ranger school twice before they do this school again 😮

So literally 100 yds from that pool tower with the unit insignia painted on it is the absolute best Shark fishing channel in the Keys. I have hooked 50 big Lemons and Bulls in an evening. Those dudes are seriously hardcore

It's the same. Just a different branch that is being trained. SEAL'S and Force Reconnaissance go through the same process.

SEALs have their own diver course they don't go to this one. It's the 2nd phase of BUD/S, the dive phase in Coronado.

That's the thing though people who have common sense whether they were in the military, or not, or possibly in these respected units irl will understand the fact, not opinion but the fact they are badass at the end of the day. The whole "bruh Green berets arent tier 1 so they are less tough cuz CAUSE delta force is Sexy!" or "Navy seals can easily kill a Army 75th Ranger" just trolls, armchair commandos, or failed milsim people hopefully in the LOUD minority who say dumb shit like that. Different units with same or similar mission goals, responsibilities and purposely trained In a certain way that satisfy the command quota and the identity as well of the uniqueness of that unit that does what they do best and stand apart from the rest. Call me a retard whose opinions doesn't matter in this comment section but God dayum its so tiring to see people who say dumb stuff in online and unfortunately meet two irl that I really wish they were testing me, or joking but they weren't. They were 100 percent serious with that overrated cliche mindset.
