Little Creek, Virginia serves as the home and headquarters for Navy SEAL Team #2, which like Navy SEAL Team #1 is lead by a Navy Commander. Eight platoons in total make up the military force behind Navy SEAL Team #2. As far as Deployment and Training is concerned, Navy SEAL Team #2 focuses in Europe, wherein it sends platoons to Germany where they serve on Amphibious Ships which are deployed to fleets 2 and 6.
It should be noted that Navy SEAL #2 is the only SEAL Team that has arctic warfare capabilities. This is one of the most unique traits of SEAL Team #2 that sets it apart from all others.
When Navy SEAL #2 was first formed it was lead by LT. John F. Callahan and consisted almost solely of members from UDT-21. Additional statistics state that Navy SEAL #2 began with a total of ten officers and fifty general ranks.
One notable Navy SEAL who served as part of Navy SEAL Team #2 is Harry Constance who joined in 1966. Within four years Harry Constance had completed 300 missions during combat in Vietnam and also captured nearly 200 enemy prisoners. Harry Constance is in fact considered to be one of the most well recognized SEALs from his time. All his endeavors resulted in 3 bronze star medals and after being wounded in battle a Purple Heart. Harry Constance was in fact idolized by the majority of men who served not only as part of Navy SEAL Team #2, but also all other Navy SEAL Teams that were in operation at the time.

I hope you can help. I’m trying to locate a member of Seal Team 2 who went by the name of Mo.
I served in Vietnam from October 1966 till December 1968. While serving with River Patrol Section 524 out of Sa Dec, Vietnam (1967-1968) I became friends with Mo who was an Advisor to Vietnamese Mercinaries, Sa Dec.
Mo was able to get authorisation from my Division Officer to go on some operations with him and the Mercinaries. At the time I was thinking of trying out for the Seals. He also took me to Vinh Long and introduced me to team members from Seal Team Two, Detachment Juliet. I also was given a recommendation by their Commanding Officer to become a Seal.
After I left Vietnam, Mo and I wrote a few times and for some reason (I don’t remember why) we stopped. My friendship with Mo was a very important chapter in my life and I would like to renew our friendship.
If you can help, I will be most greatly appreciative. In case you need it my home phone number is (305) 257-4601 and my mailing address is PO Box 700107, Miami, FL 33170-0107.
Maybe one of the members of Seal Team 2, Detachment Juliet remember him.
Thanks again,
Jorge
What is the schedule for the 50th Seal Team Two birthday?
Frank Thornton Rudy Boesch and Robert “Eagle” Gallagher are far better known SEALs than Harry Constance. All of them are highly decorated and respected. Frank Thornton was one of the most highly decorated SEALs of the Vietnam War. John Chalus SEAL TEAM ONE 70-73
I recently read Good To Go and found it quite interesting. How an individual can remember so much and then write about it. Fascinating. I ran into a retired SEAL the other day at a Holocaust Remembrance ceremony, found Good To Go in my library and will offer it to Commander Michael Romeo to get his reaction should he choose to read it.

There is no greater force in the Military than the NAVY SEALS

I appreciate all Military and always thank the Veterans when I see one wearing his Military cap.
Thank GOD for all who have kept our Country safe.
Hello, I have a quick question for a book I’m writing. In it, two of the main characters were apart of SEAL Team #2, and in this book theres a flash back point were one of them recounts a mission where they loose contact and don’t find eachother for several years, and I would like to know if this would be an accurate scenario to which SEAL Team #2 would be deployed: A dangerous international criminal makes an attempt to purchase a Thermal Nuclear Warhead on a remote airstrip in Western Russia during the winter. These two are sent in to take the criminal out at from a cliff 1.1 Miles away, and 300 feet up using a M107 Barrett .50 Cal.
I would really appreciate the help, thanks!
Looking for somebody that served with Drifter back in’63. He was given a plaque with his picture on it signed and personally presented to him by JFK when he and his team were commissioned. His Mom sold it at a garage sale. I am trying to locate it to get it back for him but I do not know what it looks like to search EBay and other sources. He is in poor health and does not have internet access so I am trying to help him.
i want to know the team numbers and colors
Its like you read my mind! You appear to grasp so much approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I believe that you just could do with a few p.c. to force the message house a bit, however instead of that, that is magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
I watched a T.V program on the History channel tonight ,breaking down your mission on Bin Laden….It makes me proud to be an American to know that people like you guys exist. The sacrifices that you make, the countless hours of training, You guys are what America is all about, The Best of the Best. GOD BLESS You
