My Squadron went up against Red Cell in about 1990, a readiness exercise. We fought for 3 days and we never even seen a Red Cell member. We won, but lost 250 men. They are fucking scary.
Every member was hand picked by it's leader. He trained them harder than they were trained while in 6. He was also the one who created 6. He wrote several books, but after he wrote Red Cell, he had to list his other books as fiction so the US Military censors couldn't make him change his books
Richard Marcinko. He was present in Iran during the hostage crisis. After Delta Force screwed the pooch he took a plan to then CNO Thomas Hayward for Seal Team 6 and became its first CO.
If you want to know more about Richard Marcinko read the book Rogue Warrior, it's an autobiography by career US naval officer Richard "Dick" Marcinko, who spent his career struggling to win acceptance for special warfare SEAL units within the Navy establishment.
According to Marcienko, they accused him of taking a crate of grenades or smoke grenades that were unaccounted for or something close to that, and so they charged him, and the rest was history.
@@powereddragon2093my brother was a marine and they use to do that all the time to the army guys, the marines always got the shitty equipment while the army got all the latest and greatest stuff, so they would do creative acquisitions.
Read Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko. Dude created the unit and it is wild read as he is an absolute nightmare and monster. Edit: They left out the part about leaving post-it notes on Air Force One, entering a nuclear arsenal, and doing the same. Commanders hated him, so when they would come to him in person he had the guys with Medals of Honor at the front to force the officer to salute each dude before snapping. It is an amazing read.
I was stationed at CFAY Yokosuka, Japan. I was in the Security Department as an Operations Specialist / MP when Red Cell tested.our security and granted us a passing grade ..
I was stationed in Sasebo from 87-89 when the base only had a 125 person compliment and I was part of the aux security forces. We had Red Cell come through and they tore security apart. At the time they just had one US sailor stay overnight at the Harioshima ordnance facility with a bunch of Japanese rent-a-cops. They ended that and they moved a marine security force in. On the main facility they left "care packages" everywhere and we never saw them. They straight out said there just wasn't enough people to cover all 5 facilities/base areas (The fuel depot, the 2 ordnance facilities, the main base and the housing area).
RIP "Demo Dick" Marcinko, Frogman of the Delta, one of the most badass people to ever exist. His book covers alot of his combat in Vietnam, and how he founded ST6 then Red Cell, supposedly he claimed Red Cell did alot of top secret black ops, which has never been proven
@@prodigypenn That’s for sure, understood , yes Cell was sometimes a cover for them to get in and take out tangos like the Philippine terrorist who assassinated Col. Nick Rowe
I met him here in the Philippines and he was talking about protecting children from human trafficking. Richard Marcinko was a good man. Rest in peace sir.
I read a couple of Marcinko's books. He is definitely a character and butted heads with many people in the military. He's the stereotypical anti-hero type. His time in Vietnam is wild. He talks about how his team would dress up as VC and go out on night patrols barefoot because it was easier to feel for trip wires.
Each seal team has a specific thing they specialize in. Example: one is explosives, another is intelligence and team 6 is hostages and anti- terrorism. They are based out of Little Creek Amphibious Base in VA Beach VA.
I was at SubBase NLon in 1985 when Red Cell took over the base, a nuclear submarine, and the weapons depot. It wasn't brutal, but it effectively demonstrated how inadequate the base security was. It terrified the admirals and said Marcinko was out of control. Too bad. I was a big fan and wanted either Marcinko or his evil older brother to keep doing his raids. Unfortunately, it caught him in his ass, and security is worse now than it has ever been.
Listening to former Navy SEAL Lt. Commander Jocko Willink's podcast, I get the impression that the Navy SEALs never stop training. They spend their entire careers in PT, conducting exercises whether it be small unit tactics or large coordinated support missions, navigation, sniper, HALO or otherwise.😉
My roommate in college, his father was a member of Seal Team 6. Members of his particular unit had to be able to transport a nuclear warhead should they ever encounter one. I don't know how much a nuclear warhead weighs, but his father was a MASSIVE man who said Marcinko was a military genius that he was willing to die for.
Marcinko came to Columbia to observe SOG operations when he was forming team 6, this was a shock to us because nobody was supposed to know we existed let alone where we were. Dude had friends in high places, need to know was controlled by POTUS.
There would have been no Team 6 or Red Cell without Admiral Lyons. Honestly to get into Red Cell, Marchinko had to like you and basically drank with him. They got closed when the “kidnapped” a civilian and beat the crap out of him. Well, he pressed charges because he wasn’t worried about loosing face in the Navy.
Not to go into details but marsoc raiders and delta guys are already enough to make your skin crawl, now they typically make temporary mission specific teams from the top3%. Only thing i can reference it to is being a gov. Sanctioned Ghost. It is unbelievably scary how good they are at what they do.
I remembered the name, the in the end I remember following this trail as a young one. I have a lot of questions that need answering to. Let's watch more videos and learn together 😁
Marcinkos favorite drink was Bombay sapphire ! During one red cell test a couple of operators pulled up next to a generals vehicle at a stoplight on a moped and posted a sign on the window that read one dead asshole ! Lol
He didn't like being told NO to or his plans being altered by higher command (me). I worked with him in the the US and Overseas. My job - Keep him in check and not let him go rouge when conducting exercises at US overseas bases in Europe and the UK. As a 0-3 Naval Officer we locked horns numerous times. Luckily I was working under orders and had the support of three star admirals.
Theres regular military drinking, then theres marchinko drinking. When he was building seal team six, he held interviews of prospective seals in a fcking bar. No joke. This isn't the only alcohol shenanigans, and a far cry from anything you or I would consider team building. And I'm a Marine, another branch started in a tavern, and were not afraid to go get blackout drunk. But this dude and how he approached it with his team is really next level.
I believe they ran the SERE training I went to up in Maine back in the day, we were just SeaBees. Before going into Bosnia, then before Iraq kicked off again my battalions Airdet was requested to take and hold bridges into Baghdad. Can Do
Love that you mentioned the hackers (pentesters.) I don't know if you ever learned this at USM, but those guys are called "Red teamers", and that term comes from these US Military wargames where the "Red Team" (Red Cell in this case) were the attackers.
So the autobiography is good and all but to add a more three dimensional picture of the man and the units he created I would suggest One Perfect Op by Dennis Chalker, who was one of the first people brought into both SEAL Team 6 and Red Cell by Marcinko, and Combat Swimmer: Memoirs of a Navy SEAL by Robert Gormly, who took over SEAL Team 6 from Marcinko and was the first leader to take the unit into combat. Both are also fantastic books on their own.
theres a pod cast about delta force you should check it out , it makes seals look like kindergarden out of 1000 2 graduate and u can not apply u need to be already a navy seal or special force or ranger , they will peak trainnes every 2 years
Marines have always been about travel. Light travel fast using what they have at their disposal to the top efficiency. That's why the one recon guy is a marine. He goes out of front of all the other ones and scouts out the trail.
Red Cell was specifically tasked with playing the aggressor against US Navy base security. Their job was to infiltrate NAVY bases and perform actions such as taking hostages, planting charges on US subs in port, capturing nukes etc… basically to try to mimic an attack from Soviet/Russian special forces or terrorists. It had nothing to do with SEAL Team 6’s original mission as a tier 1 counter terrorist unit, except that most of the Red Cell members were hand picked from ST6. But the missions were basically the opposite of each other. Red Cell acted like terrorists, while ST6 captured and killed real terrorists. Read Marcinko’s books Rogue Warrior and Red Cell for more info.
If you want to learn about seal and seal team 6 training, read "The Operator" by Robert O'Neal. He's the former seal team six member who shot and killed Osama Binladen. In the first part of the book he thoroughly talks about training and then selection and training for Seal Team Six.
My dad is former special forces sent into South America. There are so many bad ass special forces guys who have done crazy things and amazing at that, but a lot of there file's and story's like this are very classified and is not available to the public for good reasons beyond our knowledge.
Your cover photo is a member of Delta Force. How I know it’s my cousin. He wrote the book To Kill Bin Laden. He was the top Delta Force commander on the ground after 9/11 in Afghanistan. So he was Army not a Navy seal. His pin Name is Dalton Fury His real name was Tom Greer. He passed away a few years ago.
His book series starts out with his autobiography "Rogue Warrior". It's an amazing read, and his only all non-fiction book, some of the others have truth mixed in with embellishments. But saying the SEALs are maybe the elite unit of the US Tier 1 groups is not true. SMU, Delta Force, The Unit, or by whatever name it transitions to is by far the most Elite. Not saying the SEALs are not a great unit, whether the regular teams or the Tier 1 group, but Delta guys don't usually write books, or get praised enough. But ask any SEAL if they would transfer to Delta, and you will get some interest, but you won't get a Delta guy that will take a position in the SEALs over Delta.
I agree, but also looking at their job functions. SEAL 6 is the "unofficial" SEAL team. but we know they are more hostage rescue (i can be wrong) and Delta and other groups have their functions.
if i remember correctly, when he wrote Rogue Warrior, he was gonna pass it off as an autobiography. but because the government didnt want to get embarrassed (also because of red cell) they told him he needed to change the book to be "fiction" Marcenko said NO. and off to levenworth for his prison stint. all the Rogue Warrior books are amazing btw. Green Team, Red Cell, and others are a great read.
@@brianhays1797 Thanks! i knew it was one of em. i read alot of them from the beggining ones. think i missed 1 or 2. its been a long time ago. my ex-brother and law and his best friend got to meet Trickie Dick at a book signing and he said and i quote "that guy is still a bear of a man" lol
As dale Comstock said and i will paraphrase it. Delta Force pulls from all SF teams but you will never see a delta member apply to be a seal, its a downgrade for them.
There's groups we don't know the names to and probably never will. Those groups are the most elite. The names we know are just the mainstream variants we're allowed to know about. There's groups that hunt down corrupt agents and even rogue seal team members. They're sometimes tasked with hunting the guys y'all consider the best. I'd say that speaks for itself.
@@Kili175 if you want to get technical, they are called C.A.G. (combat applications group) but Delta Force is their colloquial name. its a little different to seal teams where they are called seals, however seal team 6's official name is Devgru (Naval Special Warfare Development Group). coming back to Delta Force, it gets further complicated since they also have other names that can be used in reference to them such as "the unit" however, from interviews i've seen from former DF members when they say "the unit" they are referencing a strike team lead by the cia and they were part of that group as an attachment you could say, so i would say CAG or Delta Force is going to be the most appropriate name for them in most circumstances. The latter being the common term you would hear while the other would be references from people more in the know and actually in operations. i.e. i have never heard anyone in public ever say the term "devgru" before in my life, but seal team 6 is a widely known name.
Audie Murphy was 5'5"s and had 241 confirmed kills in WW2... And the Marines, Airborne and Rangers wouldn't touch him!! He's living proof that you don't need to be a Marine, a Seal/Olympic Athlete or 6'2" to be the baddest Bad ass in the branches.. Look him up..
Without knowing anything about Marcinco’s prison sentence, I presume any or most of the punishment had less to do with the original violation(s) and more to do with how it was handled afterward and for any actions to minimize or cover up any wrong doing. This after seems the case in many legal/criminal issues inside and outside the military.
Marcinko was one of the best specwar officers this country has ever produced. Read his autobio "Rogue Warrior." The title describes not only him, but why Red Cell pissed off too many base commanders. He did his job too well, enjoyed embarrassing admirals too much.
Dick is a great guy , manny books... all of of our covert work is from him and his team. Every game character is of him splintercell Bla Bla etc....Hoo-ra
If you wanna watch another German military video You have to watch a video from the German Bundeswehr, we call it a lone fighter course, it's very exciting and it brings everything out of the soldiers' actions in Germany we say Einzelkämpfer
SEAL Team Six, also called Development Group or "DEVGRU." I believe now they're being called "TACDEVRON." Team Six is comprised of five teams that I know of for sure, with a sixth that's only been mentioned in a couple of books I've read, with a screening group that is known as "Green Team." Green Team recruits are chosen from SEAL teams 1-10 (excluding six) and if SEALs perform well in Green Team they will be recruited to one of the primary Team 6 groups. These main color groups are referred to now as Squadrons. The ones I know of are Blue Squadron and Gold Squadron, which are the original components of Team Six. They were named after the colors of the US Navy. Later on Red Squadron was added (This video you're watching is wrong. Red Squadron is active, see below), and then there was a Silver Squadron, and a Black Squadron added at some point. From things I have seen and read there may be a sixth Squadron called "Gray Squadron." This Gray Squadron was referenced in some of books I have, notably, "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen, and "Fearless" by Eric Blehm. All of the Squadrons have nicknames too. I only know of two so far. Red Squadron is commonly referred to as "The Tribe." This name was adopted because their insignia was a black silhouette of the head of a Native American Warrior with a pair of crossed tomahawks beneath it over top of a red background. Red Squadron at some point also adopted carrying tomahawks on missions that are made by a US knife maker called Winkler Knives. There was a bad scandal about this a few years ago where it was alleged that Red Squadron operators were scalping the dead terrorists they killed on missions. I don't know if this was ever confirmed. Later on this insignia was changed to the logo from the band Demon Hunter, a Christian metal band from America. Gold Squadron is, or was called "The Golden Knights." I believe, but have not confirmed that the Black Squadron has a nickname that is connected to Pirates in some way. From what I've come to learn Blue and Gold are the more "professional" units. Gold Squadron is supposedly the guys that are used as QRF for the Presidents, etc. If this is true, Gold Squadron would have been in close proximity when Trump met with Kim Jong Un when Trump crossed the DMZ into North Korea. Red Squadron is considered a "hit squad." The NavSpecWar will send Red Squadron for missions where the job has to be done lightning fast, and with as much violence as possible. Red Squadron was responsible for the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound when he was killed by Robert O'Neill. Robert O'Neill is also the one who hand picked DJ Shipley (GBRS Group) for Red Squadron. DJ is a second generation Navy SEAL (Father: Don Shipley, search RUclips) who was added to Red Squadron after the Bin Laden raid. The Black Squadron supposedly specializes in intelligence, covert operations, spying, and discreet assassinations. Most people think of Black Squadron as a bunch of Jason Bourne guys. This is not confirmed, and only alleged. Black Squadron is very tight lipped and I haven't found anyone that's retired from Black Squadron with a public image. Silver Squadron is supposed to be some kind of a hybrid team with better than normal SEAL team skills, but not specialized for one specific purpose, at least according to my research. I think, but not certain, that I read somewhere that Blue Squadron specializes in maritime operations like capturing pirate ships. Every single retired Gold Squadron member I have seen who has a public image have all been devout Christians. This includes Slade Cutrer (former co-founder of GBRS Group, now owns Irregular Defense) Eddie Penney, and Adam Brown. I've read more than a dozen books by SEALs and watched at least 200 hours of interviews at this point. All of this information was gathered from from books written by retired operators and various interviews on RUclips over the years from retired SEAL Team Six operators on podcasts like The Sean Ryan Show, Mike Drop Podcast, Cleared Hot, and other shows run by Tier 1 operators. If you want some good suggestions on things you could react to involving US Military you can hit me up on Discord @liamlovesliberty - I spent five and half years in the US Army as a combat medic (MOS 68W) in an Airborne Assault Unit with two combat deployments to Afghanistan before I was medically retired, and have worked alongside a few high profile units attached to USASOC.
Some fact, some fiction, some mixture of both for plausible deniability? If you're only going to read one, Rogue Warrior. Obviously, there are some embellishments, but a good read about a crazy spec-war guy that first went to war in Viet Nam.
We started raw, but ended up using the UKs SAS unit as a model. They are the best. And we also incorporated training and tactics from Israel and the infamous Mossad. They all still work closely today when. Needed. All A symmetrical warfare. You will never know much of their training beyond the vedio. Security is Need to Know.
A RUclipsr by the name of PoPoMedic has a far better version with more in-depth raids, actual video and photos from the ops and the Navy politics that led to the units shut down. I'd recommend giving it a watch!
The fact he did prison time don't surprise me as the military hates being proven wrong as in WW2 by a Sub commander "Red" Ramage spend a long time talking about the torpedoes being mostly useless command wouldn't listen. So in a perfect world pointing out faults is a great thing but you are also dealing with egos and pride

As dale Comstock said and i will paraphrase it. Delta Force pulls from all SF teams but you will never see a delta member apply to be a seal, its a downgrade for them.
I thought it was delta force
There's groups we don't know the names to and probably never will. Those groups are the most elite. The names we know are just the mainstream variants we're allowed to know about. There's groups that hunt down corrupt agents and even rogue seal team members. They're sometimes tasked with hunting the guys y'all consider the best. I'd say that speaks for itself.
@@Kili175 if you want to get technical, they are called C.A.G. (combat applications group) but Delta Force is their colloquial name. its a little different to seal teams where they are called seals, however seal team 6's official name is Devgru (Naval Special Warfare Development Group).
coming back to Delta Force, it gets further complicated since they also have other names that can be used in reference to them such as "the unit" however, from interviews i've seen from former DF members when they say "the unit" they are referencing a strike team lead by the cia and they were part of that group as an attachment you could say, so i would say CAG or Delta Force is going to be the most appropriate name for them in most circumstances. The latter being the common term you would hear while the other would be references from people more in the know and actually in operations. i.e. i have never heard anyone in public ever say the term "devgru" before in my life, but seal team 6 is a widely known name.
Yes, I would like to see more on Marcenko, very intense Man. Seems like all you had to say was, Get it done Dick, and let him go!
The seal teams were directly from the SAS. We sign our guys over there to learn from y’all. SAS is nasty, so SPS yeah
What about the Uniform Code of Military Justice?
Audie Murphy was 5'5"s and had 241 confirmed kills in WW2... And the Marines, Airborne and Rangers wouldn't touch him!! He's living proof that you don't need to be a Marine, a Seal/Olympic Athlete or 6'2" to be the baddest Bad ass in the branches.. Look him up..
That’s a dumb statement you still need all those guys, have you ever heard of Carlos Hathcock?
But the person in your thumbnail is not "SEAL team 6". His name was Thomas Greer, AKA Dalton Fury. A member of Delta force.
Without knowing anything about Marcinco’s prison sentence, I presume any or most of the punishment had less to do with the original violation(s) and more to do with how it was handled afterward and for any actions to minimize or cover up any wrong doing. This after seems the case in many legal/criminal issues inside and outside the military.
Marcinko was one of the best specwar officers this country has ever produced. Read his autobio "Rogue Warrior." The title describes not only him, but why Red Cell pissed off too many base commanders. He did his job too well, enjoyed embarrassing admirals too much.
14 Seal Team Six and one Force Recon Marine equals 28 of the best special forces 😅
My Uncle was the 1 Recon Marine, true story
Yes
Have you ever heard of Torture Taxis?
He wrote several books later on.
Rogue Warrior
Rogue warrior is a great read
Dick is a great guy , manny books... all of of our covert work is from him and his team. Every game character is of him splintercell Bla Bla etc....Hoo-ra
If you wanna watch another German military video You have to watch a video from the German Bundeswehr, we call it a lone fighter course, it's very exciting and it brings everything out of the soldiers' actions in Germany we say Einzelkämpfer
Hey can you react to America's war horse - sergeant reckless by the fat electrician? I think you would like it.
The few times he seen Grylls I'm mostly amazed at the stupidity..
the seal teams are tier 2 special operations units, devrgu/team 6 is a tier 1 unit. Its a more elite team
SEAL Team Six, also called Development Group or "DEVGRU." I believe now they're being called "TACDEVRON." Team Six is comprised of five teams that I know of for sure, with a sixth that's only been mentioned in a couple of books I've read, with a screening group that is known as "Green Team." Green Team recruits are chosen from SEAL teams 1-10 (excluding six) and if SEALs perform well in Green Team they will be recruited to one of the primary Team 6 groups. These main color groups are referred to now as Squadrons. The ones I know of are Blue Squadron and Gold Squadron, which are the original components of Team Six. They were named after the colors of the US Navy. Later on Red Squadron was added (This video you're watching is wrong. Red Squadron is active, see below), and then there was a Silver Squadron, and a Black Squadron added at some point. From things I have seen and read there may be a sixth Squadron called "Gray Squadron." This Gray Squadron was referenced in some of books I have, notably, "No Easy Day" by Mark Owen, and "Fearless" by Eric Blehm. All of the Squadrons have nicknames too. I only know of two so far. Red Squadron is commonly referred to as "The Tribe." This name was adopted because their insignia was a black silhouette of the head of a Native American Warrior with a pair of crossed tomahawks beneath it over top of a red background. Red Squadron at some point also adopted carrying tomahawks on missions that are made by a US knife maker called Winkler Knives. There was a bad scandal about this a few years ago where it was alleged that Red Squadron operators were scalping the dead terrorists they killed on missions. I don't know if this was ever confirmed. Later on this insignia was changed to the logo from the band Demon Hunter, a Christian metal band from America. Gold Squadron is, or was called "The Golden Knights." I believe, but have not confirmed that the Black Squadron has a nickname that is connected to Pirates in some way. From what I've come to learn Blue and Gold are the more "professional" units. Gold Squadron is supposedly the guys that are used as QRF for the Presidents, etc. If this is true, Gold Squadron would have been in close proximity when Trump met with Kim Jong Un when Trump crossed the DMZ into North Korea. Red Squadron is considered a "hit squad." The NavSpecWar will send Red Squadron for missions where the job has to be done lightning fast, and with as much violence as possible. Red Squadron was responsible for the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound when he was killed by Robert O'Neill. Robert O'Neill is also the one who hand picked DJ Shipley (GBRS Group) for Red Squadron. DJ is a second generation Navy SEAL (Father: Don Shipley, search RUclips) who was added to Red Squadron after the Bin Laden raid. The Black Squadron supposedly specializes in intelligence, covert operations, spying, and discreet assassinations. Most people think of Black Squadron as a bunch of Jason Bourne guys. This is not confirmed, and only alleged. Black Squadron is very tight lipped and I haven't found anyone that's retired from Black Squadron with a public image. Silver Squadron is supposed to be some kind of a hybrid team with better than normal SEAL team skills, but not specialized for one specific purpose, at least according to my research. I think, but not certain, that I read somewhere that Blue Squadron specializes in maritime operations like capturing pirate ships. Every single retired Gold Squadron member I have seen who has a public image have all been devout Christians. This includes Slade Cutrer (former co-founder of GBRS Group, now owns Irregular Defense) Eddie Penney, and Adam Brown. I've read more than a dozen books by SEALs and watched at least 200 hours of interviews at this point. All of this information was gathered from from books written by retired operators and various interviews on RUclips over the years from retired SEAL Team Six operators on podcasts like The Sean Ryan Show, Mike Drop Podcast, Cleared Hot, and other shows run by Tier 1 operators. If you want some good suggestions on things you could react to involving US Military you can hit me up on Discord @liamlovesliberty - I spent five and half years in the US Army as a combat medic (MOS 68W) in an Airborne Assault Unit with two combat deployments to Afghanistan before I was medically retired, and have worked alongside a few high profile units attached to USASOC.
They still have a red team in the teams
How do I send video reaction requests?
Discord or on here :)
read his biography Rogue Warrior
Some fact, some fiction, some mixture of both for plausible deniability? If you're only going to read one, Rogue Warrior. Obviously, there are some embellishments, but a good read about a crazy spec-war guy that first went to war in Viet Nam.
We started raw, but ended up using the UKs SAS unit as a model. They are the best. And we also incorporated training and tactics from Israel and the infamous Mossad. They all still work closely today when. Needed. All A symmetrical warfare. You will never know much of their training beyond the vedio. Security is Need to Know.
Oh yes red cell
You should watch Popo Medic red cell. has real video footage
Dont do it! DONT DO IT!
That was a episode of JAG 🤣🤣🤣
A RUclipsr by the name of PoPoMedic has a far better version with more in-depth raids, actual video and photos from the ops and the Navy politics that led to the units shut down. I'd recommend giving it a watch!
Does anyone actually believe that a Red Cell type Unit “no longer exists?”
Yeah, you need to read his books. Start there
It seems odd that a fully trained team seals would push a civilian that hard during what is essentially simulation
I believe its red squadron
A unit that shouldn't had been remove what so ever.
also richard marcinko is a known liar. he embellishes a lot of stuff. thats putting it kindly it is more like just making crap up.
The fact he did prison time don't surprise me as the military hates being proven wrong as in WW2 by a Sub commander "Red" Ramage spend a long time talking about the torpedoes being mostly useless command wouldn't listen. So in a perfect world pointing out faults is a great thing but you are also dealing with egos and pride
read Rouge Warrior Marcincos story
Get his books
Still there, just different name. Just like "Blackwater ".
