The origin of today’s Navy SEALs can be traced back to the formidable units created during the Second World War. Amphibious Scouts and Raiders were formed in August 1942 for the purpose of amphibious reconnaissance operations. Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs) were formed in June of 1943, trained for clearing beach obstacles at Normandy. Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs) were then formed in December of 1944; these combat swimmers conducted coastline reconnaissance and demolition of obstacles that impeded amphibious landings in the Pacific. The maritime operators of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) were organized in 1942 for the purpose of collecting intelligence to sabotage military efforts of enemy nations during this era.
