U.S. Navy SWCC Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman Badge insignia is an original badge manufactured in the U.S.A. in accordance with applicable U.S. Government specifications.
The Special Warfare Combatant-Craft Crewman (SWCC) insignia is awarded to enlisted personnel who complete SWCC training and qualification, and have been assigned to Special Boat Teams.
The U.S. Navy's Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen (SWCC) are Special Operations Forces who operate and maintain an inventory of state-of-the-art, high-performance boats used to support special operations missions, particularly those of the U.S. Navy SEALs. Individually, SEALs and SWCC go through separate specialized training programs that emphasize special operations in the maritime environment.
SWCC are trained extensively in craft and weapons tactics, techniques and procedures. Focusing on clandestine infiltration and exfiltration of SEALs and other special operations forces, SWCC provide dedicated, rapid mobility in shallow water areas where large ships cannot operate. SWCC must be physically fit, highly motivated, combat-focused, and responsive in high stress situations.
The SWCC Master Insignia incorporates a banner with three gold stars on the upper portion of the anchor from the SWCC Senior Insignia.
