I spent most of my career in Pearl. Admirals don't like to be shown how woefully unprepared their commands are to face an unconventional threat. Commander Marcinko rubbed a lot of them the wrong way when he demonstrated to them that terrorists won't play by the rules. My opinion is that he was seriously under appreciated in his time. Legend.
I agree but man he had the most fun job that a Navy SEAL could ever have. If I recall correctly I was watching a video about how they took over a nuclear sub. He was basically allowed to do whatever he wanted. If I were a seal I'd rather do that then be freezing in the water or sitting in a base in iraq or Afghanistan hot all day getting shot at and blown up. He was essentially playing military chess but with low risk and he was really good at it.(I'm referring to the red cell where they tried to infiltrate American bases) I know he did have to go through some crappy deployments. But can you imagine if a bank manager calls you and says hey I want you to see if you could Rob my bank. How would you do it? Then we'll debrief and adjust security accordingly.
@@jonathanperry8331 and they planted a bomb an AF1. Like I get to be a crazy terrorist and really do some illegal shit with basically no real repercussions I'm down
@@jonathanperry8331 , these may have been a more desirable assignments, but I am assuming these were un-announced drills so there was risk of his teams being fired upon by the guards, which is not necessarily low risk.
We need men like him. I remember when the Air Force flew a B-36 with two crews with a dummy nuke and flew nonstop from Ft. Worth to Pearl Harbor, un-announced and dropped the dummy in the harbor. The Navy was pissed!
Red Cell really proved how unprepared the Navy was even with telling them in advance, "Hey. We are coming." No one likes to be made to look foolish. However, you need to take your lumps and learn from them.
Anyone in command who doesnt take OUR security SERIOUS is either an IDIOT or a TRAITOR... 1. DO YOUR DUTY 2 LEARN WHERE WE HAVE WEAKNESSES IN SECURITY 3 ACCEPT YOUR ASS CHEWING 4 FIX THE SECURITY BREACH POINTS AND MAKE THE COUNTRY SAFER. THATS BEING A PATRIOT AND NOT A SELF SERVING LOSER....
The problem that most emergency managers have with teams like Red Cell is that they are incapable of thinking with the level of ruthlessness that an adversary possesses.
Sounds like they should have learned from richard instead of making our country more vulnerable to terrorist attacks because they were too buisy making excauses to cover their sorry, naive, asses
The entire has this focused ruthlessness some use it to be the best mechanics,band musicians,state police or the person the government calls when a top tier fighting force needs to be built my family gets called on! I have more titanium holing my body together from accidents ,but if if I didn't I would of been off to pt with the guys that came to get me on my porch
I took a tour of Norfolk Naval Base by bus as a marching band chaperone. We weren’t allowed to take photos of the ships and were about 200 yards away. Later we took a charter cruise in the harbor and we took all the photos we wanted from about the same distance. Looking at the small boats around ours, I wondered how many have GRU/FSB agents scoping out the ships.
I believe in the Red Cell mission and how it never should of been terminated. Americans need to realize the real threats we have. Leave the politics out of what works. I grew up around the type of facilities Dick mentioned. I use to accidentally bounce my fishing weight’s off the nuclear ☢️ subs in Point Loma California. If that tell’s you how easy it was to get that close. I understand exactly what he expressed in the interview. Because I witnessed it physically while I was living in California. Great 👍 job Brother
@@willbrink Not going to argue with you over social media Brother. What I have read is that Washington did terminate the program. Because Dick was proving that our military bases could be infiltrated with just a handful of elite team members. I have to agree with him. Because I could get that close to nuclear ☢️ subs myself back in the day. I’m from San Diego California Brother and seen the weaknesses on our security on our bases as a U.S. Marine. Naval and Marine up and down the coast. Just did not know of Dick and Red Cell at the time. He is a Legend in the Seal family!!! Higher ups were embarrassed and had no balls to man up and admit there errors on what happened. They took it out on Dick!!! It was total bull shit….
The army did their own version of this back in the early eighties although not to the scale of Red Cell. People were shown to be severely lacking in their physical security and as a result this kind of thing was quietly hushed up and forgotten.
I met a fellow who stood guard at a nuclear weapons depot on night shift. Hey told me it was so boring he would bring his sleeping bag and sleep on the floor of the watch tower ! He said this was SOP !
Red Cell was actually a 2-tier program. They would do an exercise while several from the team would do real-world tasks. There is a video of one of the guys explaining it.
Who else would love to see those videos? Surely it's been long enough to not be a security issue. I'd subscribe or pay for a new channel of just these.
I really hope there’s been some major changes. Because some of the things he was referring to as easy to get into scares the bejesus out of me. And I’ve never been easily scared.
I read the book over 30 yrs ago. Dick got screwed over many times. Red tape BS. A true American Here. Seals started out as UDT. He was a man before his time. He was snubbed a lot by higher Ups. A said story the first Asian recruit training for Special Warfare was accidentally killed in training. ( I have always been a history buff) I didn’t know he had passed away.
The Man!! The Lord called him home for a reason. Heavenly defenses need testing and improvement. God bless, Richard Marcinko, and his family🙏! Bombay Sapphire, cheers, sir🫡
Rest in eternal peace Cmndr D.Marcincp 🎖️ my brother veteran and friend, Passed on December 25th , , A real American Patriot 🇺🇸🗽 ‼️ David Staudohar USMC USN SS USCG ret including Delta special Forces and Lancers Air tactical command
COs don’t believe that certain things are possible. Good attackers don’t believe that certain things are impossible. My partners and I got into places that were wide freaking open. One training officer was stupefied to come into a “SECRET”facility and find us studying classified material (that we were there to learn anyway). She had been at the only entrance to the facility that she was aware of, waiting on us to arrive and be ushered into the area we were studying in. We were subsequently invited by the base CO to show him how we had accomplished our feat. We shared our way and pointed out numerous other ways that the same thing could be accomplished. He was counting on being on a remote island as security but he hadn’t bothered examining his security measures through the eyes of someone who really wanted inside.
The funny thing is I don’t even know what the initials stand for but I could put it together just based on how it looks and the context of what you wrote
I entered USMC right after the Red Cell concept was deactivated. FFWD to the end of my retirement, I was in Iraq and kept thinking the same thing my entire career. I told people I would test their network security on "day X". They didn't allow network access that day; but didn't count on my security being cleared the day before and run for an entire week. I sent happy smiley faces to many "head honchos" making their CD player slide in/out. After the 9/11 attack, I recommended the Corporation send a very hot woman through security, without the right credentials, seducing her way to the CEO's office and leaving a voided blank check, wiith signature, under his keyboard.
So thats what really happened to RedCell7! Mr. Marcinko should’ve received huge accolades for showing vulnerabilities in the military and government buildings. Before, I wasnt sure what to think…Now I know the truth.
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF SPECWAR ACCORDING TO RICHARD MARCINKO -I am the War Lord and the wrathful God of Combat and I will always lead you from the front, not from the rear. -I will treat you all alike-just like shit. -Thou shalt do nothing I will not do first, and thus will you be created Warriors in My deadly image. -I shall punish thy bodies because the more thou sweatest in training, the less thou bleedest in combat. -Indeed, if thou hurteth in thy efforts and thou suffer painful dings, then thou art Doing It Right. -Thou hast not to like it-thou hast just to do it. -Thou shalt Keep It Simple, Stupid. -Thou shalt never assume. -Verily, thou art not paid for thy methods, but for thy results, by which meaneth thou shalt kill thine enemy before he killeth you by any means available. -Thou shalt, in thy Warrior's Mind and Soul, always remember My ultimate and final Commandment:There Are No Rules-Thou Shalt Win At All Cost.
The issue was they kidnapped a civilian employee who told his alarmed wife "it's only part of an exercise" They then stripped him, beat him and water boarded him and filmed it all. That was an abuse of laws, their policy and provided zero to the mission.
Rest in peace commander 334 bud/s CIA clandestine services otters thank you for your service and instructions for making a efficient and effective killing machine.
He is full of shit ask 131 Shipley! He was team 3 because of his seniority, he was a f up his whole life. I don't know about everything he did after he graduated. But he was a screw up after he graduated. Ask Don Shipley, We can't talk about anything before 83, but since then, he was a f up,, but because he wrote books, he became famous. Just like Don Shipley. He takes credit for 6 which he was never involved in. He was team 3. Because of his service history. And seniority, but team 6 was the lowest seniority. Period! .
@@williamtobin7282 Oh no. You can still drop the bridges and block the river off. Sneaking into base has gotten harder, but not impossible.

yes, and we value your comments, suggestions, and replies 😌
My understanding was Red Cell was not terminated, his involvement was, and it was neutered to be essentially useless for its intent.

The Man. His Work. The Legend of Admiral Marcinko. It’s true. All of it.
Him and my dad used to throw my little brother back and forth like a football. RIP Dicky.
