BUD/S WARNING ORDER
|
NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE Prior to every mission in the SEAL Teams, a Warning Order is given explaining everything that is needed for the upcoming mission. This is your Warning Order! It will give you a guideline of how to prepare for your next mission--Basic Underwater Demolition/SEALS (BUD/S). The key to success at BUD/S is proper preparation prior to arrival.
Introduction BUD/S is a challenging and rewarding training program which requires the individual to be self-motivated and physically fit. There is some very valuable information in this booklet on subjects such as a course description of all three phases of BUD/S, workouts to get you prepared for the physical stress of BUD/s. Sea-Air-Land (SEAL) Teams trace their history back to the first group of volunteers selected from the Naval Construction Battalions in the Spring of 1943. Their mission was clearing obstacles from beaches chosen for amphibious landings which began the first formal training of the Naval Combat Demolition Units (NCDUs). The NCDUs distinguished themselves at Utah and Omaha beaches in Normandy and in Southern France. In the Pacific, the NCDUs were consolidated into Underwater Demolition Teams (UDTs). The newly formed UDTs saw action in every corner of the Pacific during World War II. In September 1950, the UDTs participated in the Korean War at Inchon, Wonsan, Iwon and Chinnampo. The redeployment of the United Nations Forces featured the UDTs conducting delaying operations using guerilla warfare. In January 1962, the first SEAL Teams were commissioned to conduct unconventional warfare, counter-guerilla warfare and clandestine operations in maritime and riverine environments. These Teams were SEAL Team ONE on the West Coast and SEAL Team TWO on the East Coast. During Vietnam, the SEALs compiled an impressive record of combat success. Since the close of the Vietnam conflict, the ever-changing world situation and increased operational tasking have prompted the expansion of SEAL Teams in number, size and capabilities. To effectively respond to this evolutionary process, Underwater Demolition Teams have been redesignated as SEAL or SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Teams. The newly designated SEAL Teams acquired the SEAL mission and retained the amphibious support mission inherited from their UDT forefathers. SEAL and SEAL Delivery Vehicle (SDV) Teams and Special Boat Units comprise the elite combat units of Naval Special Warfare. These units are organized, trained and equipped to conduct special operations, unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense and clandestine operations in maritime and riverine environments. These highly trained specialists are deployed worldwide in support of fleet and national operations. The wide range of tasks performed by Naval Special Warfare and their outstanding combat records have earned an enduring and highly respected reputation. Naval Special Warfare extends a personal challenge to those interested individuals like yourself. This program will push you to your physical and mental limits, again and again, until you are hard and strong, both physically and mentally, and ready for the adventure of a lifetime in the SEAL Teams. Free fall parachuting at 10,000 feet, traveling by small rubber boat for 100 miles, conducting a mission, then traveling 30 miles out to sea to rendezvous with a submarine is a typical mission for the SEALs and is an adventure most people can experience only by reading a book. If you are ready for both a challenge and an adventure, the Navy has just the training to test your mettle. BE SOMEONE SPECIAL! ! ! As a BUD/S student, you will participate in challenging training and encounter opportunities to develop and test your stamina and leadership. BUD/S training is extremely thorough both physically and mentally; but through adequate preparation and a positive attitude, you can meet its challenges with confidence. The workout schedules in this booklet are designed to prepare you physically for BUD/S. You are the one who has to prepare to give all you have every day. At BUD/S it is essential to live, eat, and sleep BUD/S. 1 10% is required of you every day. BUD/S is a challenge, but if you meet it head-on with determination not to fail or quit, it will be the most rewarding time of your life. Good Luck! ! ! COURSE DESCRIPTION I. First Phase (Basic Conditioning) First Phase is eight weeks in length. Continued physical conditioning in the areas of running, swimming and calisthenics grow harder and harder as the weeks progress. Students will participate in weekly four mile timed runs in boots, timed obstacle courses, swim distances up to two miles wearing fins in the ocean and learn small boat seamanship. The first four weeks of First Phase prepare you for the fifth week, better known as "Hell Week." During this week, students participate in five and one half days of continuous training, with a maximum of four hours of sleep. This week is designed as the ultimate test of one's physical and mental motivation while in First Phase. Hell Week proves to those who make it that the human body can do ten times the amount of work the average man thinks possible. During Hell Week you will learn the value of the mainstay of the SEAL Teams; TEAMWORK! The remaining three weeks are devoted to teaching various methods of conducting hydrographic surveys and how to prepare a hydrographic chart. II. Second Phase (Diving) After you have completed First Phase, you have proven to the instructor staff that you are motivated to continue more in-depth training. The diving Phase is seven weeks in length. During this period, physical training continues, but the times are lowered for the four mile runs, two mile swims, and obstacle course. Second Phase concentrates on combat SCUBA (Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus). Students are taught two types of SCUBA: open circuit (compressed air) and closed circuit (100% oxygen). Emphasis is placed on a progressive dive schedule which emphasizes basic combat swimmer skills that will qualify you as a combat diver. These skills will enable you to tactically insert and complete your combat objective. This is a skill that separates SEALs from all other Special Operations forces. III. Third Phase (Land Warfare) The demolitions, reconnaissance, weapons and tactics phase is ten weeks in length. Physical training continues to become more strenuous as the run distances increase and the minimum passing times are lowered for the runs, swims and obstacle course. Third Phase concentrates on teaching land navigation, small-unit tactics, rappelling, military land and underwater explosives and weapons training. The final four weeks of Third Phase are spent on San Clemente Island, where students apply techniques acquired throughout training in a practical environment. IV. Pre-BUD/S Schools The Naval Special Warfare BUD/S selection course is designed to provide an overview of SEAL Training and the Naval Special Warfare Community. The five day course, held at the Naval Training Command, Great Lakes, is offered to all active duty Navy enlisted personnel from the Fleet, Service Schools and Boot Camp. Applicants will be temporarily assigned (TAD) from their parent command to the Selection Course. TAD funds are provided by Naval Special Warfare Center, more specifically outlined in NAVADMIN 062/96 (151801Z MAR96). Requirements for the course are the same as those for attending BUD/S training. For further information contact the Physical Training Rehabilitation Remediation (PTRR) office at 6194370861 (DSN 577-0861). For a quota contact student control at 619437-2578 (DSN 577-2578). V. Post-BUD/S Schools BUD/S graduates receive three weeks basic parachute training at the Army Airborne School, Fort Benning, Georgia, prior to reporting to their first Naval Special Warfare Command. Navy corpsman who complete BUD/S and Basic Airborne Training also attend two weeks of Special Operations Technicians Training at the Naval Special Warfare Center, Coronado. They also participate in an intense course of instruction in diving medicine and medical skills called 18D (Special Operations Medical Sergeant Course). This is a 30-week course where students receive training in burns, gunshot wounds and trauma. After assignment to a Team and successfully completing a six-month probationary period, qualified personnel are awarded a SEAL Naval Enlisted Classification (NEC) Code and Naval Special Warfare Insignia. New combat swimmers serve the remainder of their first enlistment (2 l/2-3 years) in either an SDV or SEAL Team. Upon reenlistment, members may be ordered to additional training and another SDV or SEAL Command, where they will complete the remainder of a five-year sea tour. Advanced courses include Sniper, Diving Supervisor, language training and SEAL Tactical communications. Shore duty opportunities are available in research and development, instructor duty and overseas assignments. In addition to normal pay and allowances, Naval Special Warfare personnel currently receive $175/month dive pay, $200/month SDV pay, $165/month HALO (jump pay) and $110/month special duty assignment pay.

Academic standards are required on written tests before graduation from BUD/S are: 80% or above for officers 70% or above for enlisted SUGGESTED STUDENT PREPARATION The following workouts are designed for two categories of people: Category I are those future BUD/S students that have never or have not recently been on a routine PT program. Category II is designed for high school and college athletes that have had a routine PT program. Usually athletes that require a high level of cardiovascular activity are in Category II. Swimming, running and wrestling are good examples of such sports. WORKOUT FOR CATEGORY I RUNNING: The majority of the physical activities you will be required to perform during your six months of training at BUD/S will involve running. The intense amount of running can lead to over stress injuries of the lower extremities in trainees who arrive not physically prepared to handle the activities. Swimming, bicycling, and lifting weights will prepare you for some of the activities at BUD/S, but ONLY running can prepare your lower extremities for the majority of the activities. You should also run in boots to prepare your legs for the everyday running in boots at BUD/S (Boots should be of a light-weight variety i.e. Bates Lights, Hi-Tec, Etc.). The goal of the category I student is to work up to 16 miles per week of running. After you have achieved that goal, then and only then should you continue on to the category II goal of 30 miles per week. Let me remind you that category I is a nine week buildup program. Follow the workout as best you can and you will be amazed at the progress you will make. RUNNING SCHEDULE I

These workouts are designed for long-distance muscle endurance. Muscle fatigue will gradually take a longer and longer time to develop doing high repetition workouts. For best results, alternate exercises each set, in order to rest that muscle group for a short time. The below listed workouts are provided for varying your workouts once you have met the Category I and II standards. PYRAMID WORKOUTS You can do this with any exercise. The object is to slowly build up to a goal, then build back down to the beginning of the workout. For instance, pull ups, situps, pushups, and dips can be alternated as in the above workouts, but this time choose a number to be your goal and build up to that number. Each number counts as a set. Work your way up and down the pyramid. For example, say your goal is "5."
# OF REPETITIONS
PULL UPS: 1,2,3,4,5,4,3,2,1
PUSHUPS: 2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2 (2X # pull ups)
SITUPS: 3,6,9,12,15,12,9,6,3 (3X #pull ups)
DIPS: same as pushups
SWIMMING WORKOUTS II (4-5 days/week)

WEEKS #3, 4: Swim continuously for 45 min.with fins.
WEEK #5: Swim continuously for 60 min. with fins.
WEEK #6: Swim continuously for 75 min. with fins.
* Note: At first, to reduce initial stress on your foot muscles when starting with fins, alternate swimming 1000 meters with fins and 1000 meters without them. Your goal should be to swim 50 meters in 45 seconds or less. STRETCH PT Since Mon/Wed/Fri are devoted to PT, it is wise to devote at least 20 minutes on Tue/Thu/Sat to stretching. You should always stretch for at least 15 minutes before any workout; however, just stretching the previously worked muscles will make you more flexible and less likely to get injured. A good way to start stretching is to start at the top and go to the bottom. Stretch to tightness, not to pain; hold for 10-15 seconds. DO NOT BOUNCE. Stretch every muscle in your body from the neck to the calves, concentrating on your thighs, hamstrings, chest, back, and shoulders. NUTRITION Proper nutrition is extremely important now and especially when you arrive at BUD/S. You must make sure you receive the necessary nutrients to obtain maximum performance output during exercise and to promote muscle/tissue growth and repair. The proper diet provides all the nutrients for the body's needs and supplies energy for exercise. It also promotes growth and repair of tissue and regulates the body processes. The best source of complex carbohydrates are potatoes, pasta, rice, fruits, vegetables. These types of foods are your best sources of energy. Carbohydrates, protein, and fat are the three energy nutrients. All three can provide energy, but carbohydrate is the preferred source of energy for physical activity. It takes at least 20 hours after exhaustive exercise to completely restore muscle energy, provided 600 grams of carbohydrates are consumed per day. During successive days of heavy training, like you will experience at BUD/S, energy stores prior to each training session become progressively lower. This is a situation in which a high carbohydrate diet can help maintain your energy. The majority of carbohydrates should come from complex carbohydrate foods that include bread, crackers, cereal, beans, peas, starchy vegetables, and other whole grain or enriched grain products. Fruits are also loaded with carbohydrates. During training, more than four servings of these food groups should be consumed daily. Water intake is vital; stay hydrated. You should be consuming up to four quarts of water daily. Drink water before you get thirsty! ! ! Substances such as alcohol, caffeine and tobacco increase your body's need for water. Too much of these substances will definitely harm your body and hinder your performance. Supplemental intake of vitamins, as well, has not been proven to be beneficial. If you are eating a well balance diet, there is no need to take vitamins. TRAINING TABLE CONCEPT

NO PROBLEM!
The New Navy, as well as continuing the traditions and values of the old American Empires Navy, have also continued the old Naval Special Warfare Teams. Although they aren't at the strength of 8 teams like the old SEAL teams, The New Navy has 2 SEAL Teams ready for deployment at any moments notice. This is approximantley 160 men and women per team (10 platoons), 64 on active duty during peace time in a normal 3 month rotation per team (4 platoons). During war time however all members of the teams can be put on active duty.
SEAL Team 1 is stationed at Refuge base and SEAL Team 2 is stationed at Salvation base. 1 Platoon (16 members) of SEAL Team 1 are currently with Fourth Fleet (Along with a Battalion of Expeditionary Marines) Where they perform a variety of missions including Reconnaissance into unfamiliar territories, While the another platoon is stationed with First Fleet (The USS Ticonderoga and it's submarine escorts). Two platoons (32 men) from SEAL Team 2 are assigned to Second Fleet (The fleet which patrols the Pacific ocean to protect against Naut'yll raiders and pirates. The other members of the teams not on current active duty attend to duties at Salvation and Refugee bases such as defence and peace time operations. Because Rifts earth is as hostile as it is, the actual training methods of the SEAL Teams have been greatly changed. The team can adapt to almost any comat situation. The positions of the teams is kept a secret only except to the highest of command. As soon as a member is indoctrinated into the teams their career and enlistment records are sealed forever, their relatives are given cover names if they are asked what unit the operator is in and the members are given false identities. Members of the teams are true professionals and the most care is put to keep people from seeing them. Consquentley the teams are rarely seen in action even by members of the ships they are stationed on. This is mainly because they pose as ship crewmen. Members of the SEAL Teams are usually deployed on reconnaissance missions inland and combat operations against the many wandering pirate groups, wether it be raids on coastal pirate bases, sabotage, or underwater demolition. In addition to these roles the SEALs have been trained in various forms of espionage and can melt into the public of target towns and can act as information gathers. In these roles the SEALs are very rarely even seen by the unwary enemy, before the enemy is even aware of what has happened it is far too late. They have been given the nickname of the 'Sea Devils' by the few Naut'yll pirates that have survived an encounter with them, as if they could rise from the water anywhere and kill you or pull you under. I'll try and do my best to keep it strict enough to a SEAL and not a Munchkin O.C.C. here it is:

Secondary Skills: The character gets four secondary skills at level one, and two addtional skills at levels three, seven, eleven and fifteen, from the previous list, and as always these are additional areas of knowledge in which the character does not get the bonuses mentioned in the parentheses, blah, blah, blah, you know the rest.
Standard Equipment: The SEALs are usually issued Marine Combat Armor (camouflage type for varying environments), four explosive hand grenades, two smoke flares, survival knife, RMK, IRMSS (New Navy's own versions), infared distancing binoculars, utility belt, battle harness, medium sized back pack, air filter & gas mask, Camouflage uniform, dress uniform, Black flight suit, additional non-energy weapon of choice (typicaly and S.D.C. Pistol), dog tags, S.C.U.B.A. Gear (new wet suit has 25 M.D.C.), Parachute and gear, and a basic NG-S2 survival kit and 2 weeks food rations (MRE's).
Additional weapons that are used by the SEALs are the AT-88 laser rifle, H-15 shot gun, H-12 pulse rifle (resembling an MP5),and the AT-84 sniper rifle (all of these weapons with the prefix "AT" are from World book 8, Japan). Also the new prototype weapon, the "Stoner 63A" and "XM23A2" energy rifles are under development and testing at the moment.
Weapons: typically a squad will have 2-5 men/women,so two will be carrying M-160 rifles,two will be carrying M-600 Light Plasma Cartridge Machineguns,and the Rear Guard will be carrying a H-15 shotgun in addition to an M-160,everyone is also issued a HI-10 Laser pistol (Phase World) or they can always choose the M-2011 pistol, M-20's can also be issued upon reqest (if needed or suggested - depleted urnanium rounds are a favrite of the teams doing battle with supernatural creatures).
*Note: Japanese weapons have been aquired by small trading missions with the Japanese goverment, and are issued until the New Navy can develop it's own Special Operations Weapons.
Equipment available upon Request: (now I never read this stuff,but just incase you do,here it is:Any type of Body Armor (which the New Navy has ready access too) can be issued,explosives if demolitions is a known skill and neccessary for the mission,any type of weapon (again, if the New Navy has access to it),cameras or surveillance equipment,sensory equipment,additional food rations,Non-regulation weapons,armor,equipment and vehicles may be issues to SEALs, mainly for the purpose of disquise and infiltration. In addition, hte character has access to military facilities. Most SEALs have mid to high level security clearence for top ranked and trusted officers.
Vehicles can include a simple hover cycle,car,conventional military vehicles, or jet packs to Semper fi powered armor and so on.The exact type of equipment will depend on the mission, the commanding officer and availability of items at base.
Money: the character gets a place to live,clothing,and other basics all provided free of charge by the Navy, as well as access to most military facilities.the monthly pay starts of at about 2000 credits, plus combat pay. Savings start off with 1D6X1000 credits as well, and begin usually at the rank of either corporal or sergent depending if he was enlisted or was an officer to start, and by preformance in training as well.
Cybernetics: none to start with, but some SEALs who have either abandoned the Navy or have left after finishing they're serivce have gotten cybernetics.Some may be put in to replace lost organs or body parts in battle, but most SEALs believe that cybernetics make you "fake" and most prefer to keep without them until needed.
Money: $2000 Basic pay (monthly) + $225/month HALO + $175/month Dive + $110/month Special Duty Assigment Pay

Equipment: There is so much equipment available and used by the SEALs, I suggest you go HERE to see. Very useful.
Here however is the basic equipment:
The basic SEAL "layout"
SEALs separate their gear into three categories, or lines. First line Gear is the everyday essentials needed for survival. Cammies (pardon me: Battle Dress Uniforms), weapons, maps, compass, and watches are all first line gear. If the other lines of equipment are lost or abandoned the first line gear will give the operator a chance at surviving and escaping any would-be captors. Other items such as an MRE (the infamous MEAL, READY to EAT), pocket knife, and "dummy cord" (about 25 ft. of parachute suspension line) are also included into this group.
Second line gear are necessary extras that are included in load bearing equipment or tactical vests. It is gear that is quickly available should the need arise. Equipment such as ammunition (five to seven magazines), hand grenades, water (and purification tablets), and medical supplies are all considered second line equipment.
Third line gear are supplies needed for a mission but aren't as critical for immediate use. Radios and batteries (for calling in that heavenly air support), claymore mines, ponchos, water filters, and night vision goggles are all included in third line gear. Medical corpsmen fit their medical gear into this category.
*Additional Equipment can be requested upon assignment.
Money: $2000 Basic pay (monthly) + $225/month HALO + $175/month Dive + $110/month Special Duty Assigment Pay
