If we were to talk about a world-class special operations unit,
Few people do not know them .. Seal Team 6 or Devgru
The world's leading SEAL unit that performs many important missions.
For example, the mission known to the whole world as the assassination of Osama bin Laden.
And today we will get to know them better.... 
SEAL Team 6 (abbreviated ST6 or Devgru) is a special operations unit.
Under the control of the Joint Special Operations Unit
In full name: Joint Special Operation Command: JSOC
It is one of the Navy's Tier 1 special operations units.
Equivalent to the Army's Delta Force and STS units.
Or another name is 24th Special Tactics Squadron of the Air Force.
The current Devgru unit is not a team of a few people, but a separate unit.
According to the information provided, there are as many as 1,787 members in the unit. 
By separating out civilian support and intelligence members
A total of 445 people and 1,342 military personnel in the unit
Where their names, appearances and work information are included
It is one of the top secret secrets of the US military.
One thing that many people don't know is that their unit also has another team name.
What is often referred to in JSOC is Task Force Blue.
But I'll tell you more in the next section... 
The history of this team began with the failure of the operation in Iran.
In Operation Eagle Claw, the hostage rescue team
Experienced a failure that resulted in the death of the entire unit team.
The first Seal Team 6 was established as a special operations unit called
Terrorist Action Team : TAT which has only one objective:
Being a special unit for rescuing hostages in hostage-taking situations
In Iran, specifically in 1979. 
And that's why their team is called the Development Group.
Which later became known as Devgru due to
As their team is an operational unit that has to design and plan missions
Help the hostages yourself at every step, which can be called one of the
It was the most difficult and brutal mission of that era because it was
Something that had never been done before and broke all the military operations textbooks of that era.
From that success, the special operations unit has vision.
On the need to establish a dedicated international counter-terrorism unit
And that's where the Devgru team came into being. 
Where the founders included the first members and commanders of the unit.
His name is Richard Marcinko, and he can be called a real
With the father of Seal Team 6, so to speak.
The thing that many people don't know before is ...
Even the origin of the name Seal Team 6 was created as a decoy.
The Soviet intelligence service at that time
Because the real SEAL unit at that time really existed.
Only 2 teams, namely Seal Team 1 (West Coast).
and Seal Team 2 ( East Coast )
But the creation of the name Seal Team 6 helped deceive
Soviet intelligence thought the SEALs were
There are many teams set up, which affects the credibility of the information.
and create confusion in disclosing team movements
In the practice of that era, it was very important. 
The first members were directly selected from the members.
In UDT/SEAL uniform and put through 6 months of brutal training.
Until we got the first members, which is the true origin of the team.
In November 1980
According to Marcinko's records, the team's capabilities and training
It's at a level that's almost out of this world, because of the number of bullets this team uses.
The number of bullets used in a single training session is greater than the number of bullets.
That's when all the Marines in the United States combined spent an entire year training!
They are the ones who have privileged access to the military's resources.
Without any limits at all, they must use the best they can.
Because they are designed for the highest priority missions only. 
In 1984, Marcinko and a number of members of Seal Team 6
Established an internal task force called "Red Cell"
Or in the nickname of that era, OP-06D, is a selected set.
For specific missions in unconventional combat and covert operations.
and completely against the rules and morals
And that was the beginning of what made Seal Team 6
There are many enemies and it causes many problems.
As a result, Richard Marcinko was later arrested.
Due to misconduct and bribery in carrying out missions
to the point of corruption and bribery scandals within the navy
This is a result of having special access to military resources.
And it was the end of the secret operation outside the box.
The name of the original Seal Team 6 unit.... 
And after that, the still-operational Seal Team 6 was designated as the unit.
That must have the highest level of confidentiality due to the mission
And the operational guidelines, including the history of various missions, make them
They were the most important targets for the enemy in every battle they had ever been on.
Until the team was revived after Marcinko's era.
In the name of " Naval Special Warfare Development Group "
Which became the Devgru team as we know it today. 
If readers think that Seal Team 6 only consists of one operational team,
Well then... I'm sorry to say that you are mistaken.
Under the name of Seal Team 6, there are also separate operational teams.
Which will have a name, internal culture that is further divided into different sub-categories.
By each team (or you can call it a sub-unit or affiliation)
It will be divided into 6 groups, with approximately 50 members in each group.
Which will be separated into smaller teams within the organization, call codes
It depends on the setting, whether it's Alpha, Bravo, or Charlie. 
It can be said that in the structure of Devgru, there are top-notch officers.
To take care of every part of the mission by yourself without having to
Depend on resources or personnel from outside units or sometimes
They can take direct orders and are familiar with the president.
With the unit's standards and secrecy level, it is designed to ensure that
There will be absolutely no data leakage in any mission.
Devgru members are divided into teams or affiliations as follows... 
- Green Team: This is the name of the members who have just been recruited into Devgru.
Passed Devgru basic training and exam and no affiliation yet.
Or be included in any team in the unit, or you could call yourself a "newbie".
These people are selected and are usually officers within the SEAL unit.
With more than 5 years of combat experience or through deployment
Has participated in no less than 3 major battles.
Those who have been transferred will be listed in the Green Team.
And will have to pass Devgru's brutal test, which only those who pass the test will have.
Even though you have the right to post your picture on the internal board of the task force
Or Devgru's own internal assault unit
They are selected by the team members to join various affiliations or task forces.
Depending on their habits or work history since their time as members
Seal units in other teams before entering Devgru. 
And for those who do not wish to take additional tests or fail the test,
He may be immediately returned to his original post (if he wishes) or may not continue on duty.
I am with Devgru but I am in other operations of the unit that are not the assault unit.
It will consist of ....
- Gray Squadron ( Call Sign : Viking )
: It is a team for fast moving units that take care of matters of
Vehicles, dive teams and unit movement
If you ask how the main task force will enter the area,
They are the team that will do that.
- Black Squadron: is a reconnaissance, intelligence, and even a team that performs duties
It is like the unit's internal intelligence unit.
These people are the officials who will provide information and make plans.
and support the operational team in every mission 
- Silver Squadron: is an operational team that provides support.
and always be a reinforcement for the main unit in carrying out missions such as protection
During the area entry or assistance and support fire in case of the main team
Want to retreat or a mission to protect an important person, etc. 
- Blue Squadron ( Call Sign : Pirate )
It will be the unit or team that is frequently called upon by JSOC.
Often nicknamed Task Force Blue, they are mostly
Will receive missions or responsibilities in operations related to the sea.
Or mainly in coastal areas, including being a group that often operates together with
Other Tier 1 units like Delta Force and even other Devgru units.
Whether it's Red or Gold Squadron, it's always the same.
We've heard stories about them from the mission to rescue Captain Phillip.
From Somali pirates, a sniper unit that uses the Synchronized Shot technique.
To kill targets on the ship at the same time.
That is one of their works that has ever been published in the media.
And of course, many media outlets often report that it's the work of Red Squadron.
Because of its reputation that is more well-known in the industry. 
- Red Squadron ( Call Sign : Indian )
It is a group that mainly infiltrate and conduct raids in remote areas.
Especially in carrying out many important world missions ..
The story we've heard from them is that they're a strike team.
That was the work of this group of officers who stormed in to kill Osama bin Laden.
And that's what makes Red Squadron a Devgru team with a story that's been leaked.
The most public in the unit due to the former members resigning.
To write books or tell stories about their many missions, such as:
Marc Bissonette, author of the acclaimed book 'No Easy Day', and Rob O'Neill
The one who declared himself to be the one who pulled the trigger to kill bin Laden.
If you have ever heard of Devgru, most of the stories are about
This is mainly based on the stories of members of the Red Squadron. 
- Gold Squadron ( Call Sign : Knights , Crusaders , Dragon )
It is an operational unit that performs similar duties to Red Squadron.
But their mission and story has been talked about very little.
It may be due to secrecy or many things, in reality.
This team is designed to perform missions where there is no room for error.
Unfortunately, the team was busy with other important missions and could not make it.
The team that attacked and killed Bin Laden, and the Red Squadron team took on this role.
It has become the most talked about team in Devgru, replacing Gold Squadron.
But the good thing is that their scope and capabilities remain a mystery.
And it is one of the teams that has very little information leaked.
There is only one event that is talked about the most, which is the Extortion 17 event.
This was the event where Devgru lost the most team members in its history.
That has content directly related to Gold Squadron. 
They are an elite operative unit, the pinnacle of being an officer.
In a special operations unit, only a few people can reach this point.
However, behind them is hard training.
The relentless development and many things that shape them.
To become one of the most valuable personnel in the US military.
And this is the story of Seal Team 6 or Devgru, one of the world's leading teams.
He is a death and nightmare in the eyes of terrorists around the world.
