More about the book
In The Finishing School, former Navy SEAL Dick Couch follows SEALs as they undergo SEAL Tactical Training. In America’s new war, special operations forces, including the Navy SEALs, are specially trained warriors who operate with precision, swiftness, and lethal force. In the constantly shifting war on terror, SEAL units—small in number, flexible, stealthy, and efficient—are vital to America’s security as they take the battle to an elusive enemy around the globe. But how are Navy SEALs made? Couch follows SEALs into the next levels of training—SEAL Tactical Training—where they master combat skills such as precision shooting, demolitions, secure communications, parachuting, diving, and first aid. From there, the men enter operational platoons, where they subordinate their individual abilities to the mission of the group and train for special operations in specific geographic environments. The Finishing School is essential reading for anyone who wants to know what goes into the making of America’s best warriors.
