What training is harder Army Green Beret or Navy SEALs?

Answer 1

There both very difficult training programs but you really cant compare their training because there two totally different units

--------------------------

Navy SEALs have the highest percentage of dropouts during training of any elite units in the US Military. There is also a much higher level of cross-training than Rangers. The Navys unofficial attitude toward SEAL training is to push the candidates to a level where mental breakdowns would occur before physical ones. The mind is easier to condition than what SEAL and BUDS schools will do to a trainees bodies. Only 'unique' individuals will have the physical blessings to endure training on this scale without their body breaking down. Romantic notions enforced by Hollywood movies aside, Navy SEALS have a reputation as one of the very hardest special operations forces in history.

Answer 2

Training for Navy seals is very similar to Delta Force with extra added tweeks. Delta Force is modeld/based on the British S.A.S so Navy seals are technicaly based on the S.A.S too. Also Green Berets were first trained by S.A.S ( provided green berets history below), but neither Navy seals,Delta or green berets training is as long or hard as S.A.S,S.A.S training is seen as hardest most grueling training on earth. Its also the only regiment in the world u cannot just enroll, they choose u and select the best of the very best then make them better. Although, I am definitely not indicating that training for a green beret is easy. There's been green berets to attempt BUD/S(Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training) and have failed, and there has also been SEALs to fail in green beret training. I've talked to men in both, and the only major difference that I seemed to notice was that, for green berets, water is just another obstacle; for SEALs, water is sanctuary. As a SEAL, you need to be comfortable in the water.

It would be a bit unfair to call one more difficult than the other without trying both. It seems like it depends more on the individual and what suits him.

John Lofty Wiseman Part of SAS History - A Legend in his own lifetime

Trooper John Wiseman was born in Britain in 1941

John Wiseman was the first to train members of the Green Berets which was at the formation of the USA's Delta Force who are of the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) - commonly known as Delta in the U.S. Army, Delta Force by civilians, and Combat Applications Group by the Department of Defense - is a Special Operations Force (SOF) and an integral element of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).

Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism and national intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating covert enemy forces. Delta Force conducts missions similar to those attributed to the British Special Air Service (SAS), on which it was originally modelled

John Wiseman set a record being the youngest to pass SAS Selection at the very young age of 18 which is no longer possible and now cannot be beat. His service with the Special Air Service Regiment started in 1958 and served with 22 SAS for approx. 26 years. His worldwide service saw activity in every theatre of special forces operation and was

Sergeant Major, B Squadron Sabre Squadron 22 SAS

Sergeant Major 22 SAS Training Wing

Head of Operational Research 22 SAS

He set up the SP Team Counter Hi-Jack now CRW Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing, The CRW Wing is now nominally made up of the personnel drawn from a single squadron, originally designated "Pagoda", which is relieved every 6 - 9 months. The squadron is split up into two combined troops, "Red" and "Blue", with each troop made up of an assault group and a sniper team. Though the counter-terrorist teams are based at RHQ in Hereford, a specialist eight-man team is based within the outer London region (4, south London border & 4, north London border/Hertfordshire). This team rapidly responds to any situation in London as required.

He help set up the SAS Counter-Terrorist now known as 'The Team' for such teams involved in Operation Nimrod The Iranian Embassy Siege of 1980 was a terrorist siege of the Iranian embassy in London. The siege was ended when British special forces, the Special Air Service (SAS), stormed the building in Operation Nimrod. The incident brought the SAS to the world's attention as the whole episode was played out in the media. Which was undertaken from the SAS barracks Stirling Lines in Hereford

John also ran Survival Training School for 22 SAS at Hereford Stirling Lines for survival skills on land, sea, jungle, desert, arctic, and all manor of wilderness environments. Much of the JWIC Jungle Warfare Instructors Course conducted in Borneo Malaysia is built on the solid foundations laid by John Wiseman and those that followed him. The Jungle Warfare Wing (JWW) is located on the island of Borneo, close to the border with Sarawak (Malaysia) and is supported by the British Army's Brunei Garrison. JWW exists to provide a jungle training facility to meet the requirement to train jungle warfare instructors for the British SAS and other regiments.

John also ran SAS Selection Course which is the hardest course in the world to pass and out of 100 only 5% are consider fit to join the Regiment before they start the real training 'Continuation Training'. The Commanding Officer of 22 SAS is alleged to have said that, "John Lofty Wiseman is an SAS legend" a real accolade from the best.

John Lofty Wiseman has trained survival to many specialists over the years both military and civilian and has undoubtedly saved many lives by his love of all things survival. It is his principles of survival and tools which he introduced that has had the biggest impact on the survival world whose achievements cannot be overestimated!

Answer 3

It depends what you want to do. If you want to go in sea,air and land troops but trained hard,navy S.E.A.L.S {SEa, Air, and land}.If you want to be an infintry soldier and go behind lines join U.S. army rangers.Even though they still go on air and sea somtimes there lives are completly different.

Answer 4

In all cases, the units are extremely well trained for the missions that they are designed to accomplish. They are not expected to be able to do the same things, so it would not make sense to try and compare the two types of units.

Answer 5

Of course! There are overlapping some skills, but also unique skills for SEALs and Rangers. Also the SEAL would have to end Navy enlistment and enlist in the Army. Not too likely, eh?
