"Navy SEALs: Evolution of the Teams" documents how the modern Navy SEAL evolved from the Navy Frogmen of World War II. These warriors were responsible for demolition jobs clearing beachheads on D-Day. In the Pacific, Frogmen cleared reefs and obstacles from beaches for Marine landings and amphibious assaults. In Korea, Underwater Demolition Teams cleared mines from harbors and worked behind enemy lines blowing up enemy bridges, tunnels, and railroad tracks. Navy SEAL operations in Vietnam are legendary, with a kill ratio of over a hundred enemy dead for every SEAL casualty. Navy SEALs are America's most elite warriors. The name SEAL is an acronym for Sea, Land, and Air, the environments in which they operate. "Evolution of the Teams" is a film-making accomplishment. Because of the secrecy and danger of SEAL missions, few photos and little action footage was ever taken of SEALs in action. The photos and films used in this one of a kind documentary came from the private collections and scrapbooks of SEAL Team members who performed these spooky missions. Working in conjunction with the Navy SEAL Museum, these rare images took years to compile. - Witness SEALs in action from WW II through Granada as they engage in behind the lines warfare - Learn how SEALs waged a deadly guerrilla war against the Viet Cong in the swamps and jungles of Vietnam - Find out how modern SEALs secured enemy outposts in Grenada, and spearheaded the invasion of Panama. Unlike other documentary films, this history of SEAL Teams is told from the point of view of the operators--not the Dept of Defense. The personal insights from SEALs who helped make this film combine with action footage to make "Navy SEALs: Evolution of the Teams" one of the best SEAL history films ever made.
