In the Vietnam era, the Navy drew most of its SEALs from the Underwater Demolition Teams from the early 1960s up until 1983 the SEAL Teams and UDTs coexisted. Today's US Navy special warfare operators can trace their origins to the Scouts and Raiders, Naval Combat Demolition Units, Office of Strategic Services Operational Swimmers, Underwater Demolition Teams, and Motor Torpedo Boat Squadrons of World War II. By utilizing the United States Navy's ships, submarines, and overseas facilities, WARCOM forces can be deployed rapidly around the world. Units can operate independently, as part of navy carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups, or integrated with other US special operations forces. WARCOM is organized primarily around eight Navy SEAL teams, three Special Boat Teams, and various supporting commands, totaling approximately 9,200 personnel. WARCOM specializes in a broad range of tactical areas, including unconventional warfare, direct action, counterterrorism, special reconnaissance, and personnel recovery. Its mission is to provide leadership, doctrinal guidance, resources and oversight to special operations carried out in maritime and littoral environments. Originating in the unconventional naval units formed during the Second World War, WARCOM was established on 16 April 1987 at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego, California. The United States Naval Special Warfare Command ( USNSWC), also known as ( NAVSPECWARCOM and WARCOM), is the naval component of United States Special Operations Command, the unified command responsible for overseeing and conducting the nation's special operations and missions.
