| Video Discription | Officers, enlisted personnel and Gold Star family members and friends were present at the Silver Strand Training Complex, the new home of West-Coast based Naval special warfare operators to celebrate the 40th anniversary of SEAL Team 3. Lt. Cmdr. Jonny Kim, a NASA Astronaut, SEAL Team 3 alumni, Navy flight surgeon, naval aviator, Silver and Bronze Star recipient, 2006 NSW Medic of the Year, Iraq War veteran and Tillman Scholar sat alongside Admiral William McRaven, whom he described as his personal hero, and then stood at the podium to give a speech: “A part of me hopes you never have to experience the harsh ugliness and realities of war, but a more familiar part of me understands, that if called, you will gladly welcome it, and if that call comes, be swift, violent and lethal to our enemies. But never lose your way. You are the 1% of the 1% not because you do the hard things no one else can, but because you do the hard things no one else can while holding yourself and your teammates to a higher standard of judgment and accountability than our enemies.” The 20th CO of ST3 gave his opening remarks and thanked the plankowners - the founding members of ST3. “We are all here today because of your bold leadership and spirit of innovation. We stand on the shoulders of giants,” he said. “I am happy to report that the culture you established all those years ago is thriving in the troops behind you and the halls of Team THREE.” SEAL Team 3 was established in 1983, more than 20 years after President Kennedy established the first SEAL Teams in January 1962 at NAB Coronado and NAB Little Creek. Retired Admiral McRaven, a former CO of SEAL Team 3 and 9th commander of United States Special Operations Command also gave a speech: “Some of the first units into Afghanistan were SEAL Team THREE,” said McRaven. “Between 2002 and 2005, the teams deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, and the new hotspot – the Philippines. From the oil fields of the Al Faw peninsula to Fallujah, to Habbaniyah. From Zamboanga to the Horn of Africa, the operators of SEAL Team THREE were everywhere, contributing to ever single aspect of the war effort.” The first ST3 CO retired Capt. Joe Quincannon also spoke: “When the Navy gave me the opportunity to commission the command, my first priority was getting the right senior enlisted on board,” he said. “I was focused on people who had proven themselves fighting in Vietnam. A giant step forward in attaining this goal was when Master Chief Gallagher agreed to become the command master chief. His combat experience, reputation and common-sense approach to problem solving were instrumental in helping me attain the goal I had for the command – which was to fight and win if called upon by the country.” ST3's current Command Master Chief stated: “Our fallen brothers, those we will see on the other side, the never forgotten stewards will forever remind us - the duty bound - that we are the owners of our legacy. It is our charge to honor them by passing down our lessons learned from conflict to conflict. To honor their sacrifice by our deeds and ensure that their names will forever echo.” Whether it is routine training or large celebratory ceremonies, SEAL Team THREE’s permanent residents (fallen members) are woven into everything the team does. Each one has a command space dedicated to them, and each is spoken about and remembered. One of SEAL Team THREE’s current special warfare operators spoke about the sense of duty and honor that comes with being a part of a command so steeped in Frogman history. “One of the first things we do as a ‘new guy’ on the team is give a presentation to our platoon about one of our fallen,” the operator said. “It really helps us all remember the immense legacy we are upholding. We’re just renters here. Our permanent residents – those are the owners. That brotherhood and sense of duty and connectedness is so deeply rooted here, and it’s a huge part of why we do what we do.” Since 1962, Naval Special Warfare has been the nation's premier maritime special operations force – a highly reliable and lethal force –ready to conduct full-spectrum operations, unilaterally or with partners, in support of national objectives, and uniquely positioned to extend the Fleet's reach, delivering all-domain options for naval and joint force commanders. tNaDbfNm8qg |
