After publication about the American "Green Beretches", numerous requests to tell me about similar structures of the American army. Particularly asked to tell about the detachment of Delta. However, it seemed to me more appropriate to tell about the naval analogue of the "Delta", known to most readers called "maritime seats". More precisely, the elite of "marine cats" under the code name SEAL Team 6.
It is not even that the materials on the "Delta" are much more, and those who are really interested in this topic will be able to "go to" the necessary information. The army division that lives in army laws is more predictable than the "ghost". The level of secrecy of the team is 6 such that even in the American press of materials is not so much. Most of the Americans are talking about "quotes" on the basis of knowledge gained from feature films and surrounding sometimes in the press of the interview of the former "cats". And the very existence of this detachment can always be questioned.
Pentagon publicly denies the presence of such a unit. SEAL Team 6, this is exactly what the name of this super secret unit sounds, shrouded in such a veil of the mystery, which is sometimes surprised at all the availability of messages on this topic. There are no divisions, and, for example, an interview with the fighter of this unit, "Ben Laden personally killed Usama", there is. Therefore, if you view media messages in the last 10-15 years, it becomes clear that the curtain of the secrecy is torn. The desire to make money on the Piara of their feats and tell about his own heroic life takes the top of the promises to be silent.
Yes, and an increase in the number of the unit does not contribute to the preservation of the mystery. What two knows, knows a pig. And according to the estimates of the same American, and our experts, today the number of the team 6 has grown to 300 Commandos and up to 1500 people attendants. True, the "seams" themselves do not call themselves Commandos. Moreover, they do not like this name in principle. Between themselves and in documents that sometimes "pop up", the fighters of the squad are called operatives.
From here, the competent analyst will already be able to conclude that the team 6 is not a purely fleet structure. This is rather symbiosis of the fleet exploration and the CIA. With the appropriate attitude to business. I mean not only the restrictions that are imposed by military orders and statutes, but also the opportunity to act "at its own discretion", which is given to the CIA.
The detachment began not so long ago. First of all, the name of SEAL is interesting. It occurs from a combination of three english words - Sea, Air, Land. That is how the divers team was called during the Second World War. However, it is impossible to consider the diving team that the diverse command. This is rather one of the masking methods adopted in the reconnaissance and sabotage units during the Cold War.
By the way, team 6 (Team 6) from the same song. The Americans have already understood the Americans during the formation of the detachment that Soviet intelligence officers will soon learn about the "quotes". In fact, at the time of creation of the team 6 in the United States there were only two SEAL units. Therefore, it would be logical to call a detachment team 3.
When did the "cats" appear? According to some data from open sources, the detachment was formed immediately after the failure of the special operation to save 53 hostages in the American Embassy in Tehran (Oral Claw). Let me remind you, the case was happening in 1980. And the operation of the elite special forces of the US Army ended with then full collapse. A military helicopter with special forces collided with a plane on earth and exploded. Killed 8 special forces. The Pentagon was then put in a very delicate position.
Similarly, the fleet chiefs also thought. It was necessary to urgently create a structure that could quickly and any ways to solve the problems of combating terrorism. The goal, as you can see, good, but to realize it was entrusted to a fairly ambiguous person - Commander (corresponds to the Russian fleet rank of captain of the second rank) Richard Marsinko. During the Vietnamese war, Marsinko earned a reputation as a sufficiently cruel and merciless officer. (By the way, for those who are interested in his biography: Marsinko wrote a book "Warrior-Plut".)
The headquarters of the team 6 is located in the Dam Neck branch at Oceana Naval Air Station, south of Virginia Beach. It is there that is today the majority of "sea cats". For the cover of the base there are also other army units.
Commander did not particularly care about compliance with the army charters and orders. The first detachment was formed on the principle of personal courage (especially in the Vietnamese War), friendship between fighters and ... readiness to fulfill any order of command.
How are the team members 6? Typically, the selection procedure is as follows. In the divisions of the "Marine Cotes" that regular tasks perform, after several years of service, casting is being conducted for those who want to go to the team 6. Total places in the United States are three. They are fine "tracked" by numbers. "Even rooms" are located in Virginia Beach. The base of "odd numbers" in San Diego. Third place - Hawaii. There is another "secret" of the US Fleet - the base of underwater mini-boats. Usually the discrade percentage when the test is 50 and higher.
The team of the team usually comes to one or two deadline of the contract. And often changing quite often. Although, according to some data, there are cases of return to the team several times. Such practice slightly reduces the value of the officer corps, but raises the value of sergeants.
According to memories of the officers of the unit, many soldiers and especially sergeants are inclined to exaggerate their own role. Marsinko laid this style of service. Everyone can be each.
But on the other hand, this style of service generates some brave team 6. All other SEAL units for them are "white" or "standard". Although, fairness, it should be said that they are performed by the same tasks. However, any operative from the team will always say: "If you need to take away atomic bomb from bad guys, or save the prisoners in the military zone, then we can only make ..."
This is how two detachments (assault groups) of the team 6 were created. They received the names of the American fleet. Blue and gold. By the way, at the same time "lit up" fighters from "blue". The fact is that the "Blue" group elected by his symbol "Merry Roger". It is clear that the "pirates" soon became well known. Even got the unofficial name "bad in blue".
In order for you to understand the squad preparation system, it is enough to bring a couple of examples of examples known from open sources. The state police survived several hundred protocols on team members for driving in a state of alcoholic or drug intoxication. And in the database of accidents - many acts on the write-off of technology, which was broken by operatives during their training.
Former member of the team, and now the Congressman from Montana Ryan Zinka recalls one of the exercises in which he participated in the training in the summer Olympic Games in Barcelona in 1992. Then he accompanied the commander of the exercises, the American Admiral.
"When we opened the door that I saw me with the" Pirates of the Caribbean ".
Is this my fleet? These guys are my fleet? - ADMIRAL asked me. "
Indeed, for the fleet admiral seen was shocked. Super secret, the most prepared division of the fleet special forces looked like gangsters from the Hollywood film. Long hair, earrings in the ears, beard ... and the corresponding attitude to the shape of clothing. Each of the fighters dressed to fulfill "their" task.
After this episode, the detachment has undergone severe reorganization. Team 6 team complies with "thoroughly. And at all levels. Many officers and even admirals were translated into other divisions or fired from military service. Taped this and sergeant composition. These reorganizations created SEAL Team 6 in modern form.
Today, a lot of detachment is known. All you read above is just the top of the iceberg. The fact that some detachment fighters "discovered the mouth", especially after the operation on the liquidation of Bin Laden, was the basis for initiating many criminal cases on charges of state treason. Readers, probably, remember the two names: Matt Bisonnenet (the author of two books about his team in the team) and Robert O'Neill (he says that it was he who killed Ben Laden). Both today are accused of this article.
After some tour of the story, probably, you should talk about the features of the actions of this unit in a combat atmosphere. What is the difference between the team from the "White Sea Kitics"? And they really have. And fairly significant.
The most severe Seal Team 6 "Heritage" in Afghanistan. Therefore, the analysis of actions in this country, in my opinion, will be the most indicative to understand the work of this special unit.
First of all, the principles of the work itself. Those are laid by the founder. The first, which for operatives from SEAL Team 6 is the fundamental, lies in the words of one of the former officers of this unit: "If at least for a second I felt a threat, then you will kill someone."
This principle acts strictly. As, however, in other special units. "Doubt - shoot." Moreover, none of the Commandos will pass by the already killed enemy without a control shot. For a formal report on the operation, the feeling of the threat is enough to justify any losses.
True, in official papers, if it comes to the murder of civilians, the picture is created completely perfect. For example, I will give the words of one of the commanders of the team: "Do I think something bad happened? Did I think that the murders were more than you need? Naturally. I think that the natural reaction to the threat was to eliminate it; and only then You wondered: "Do I overestimated her?" Do I think that guys deliberately killed those who did not deserve it? No, I somehow hard to believe it. "
The second principle of the team's work best expressed admiral retired, the former Supreme Commander-in-Chief of NATO James James Stavridis: "If you want a detachment to sometimes conduct activities that violate the norms of international law, the publicity is not definitely needed."
More specifically, this was written by an expert on national security issues at the University of Syracza University William Banks: "If you don't care about the battlefield of you, then you are not responsible."
I did not see these two principles as the basis for which all further actions of the detachment are superimposed. Americans often use the newest achievements of technology in order to create a picture of the "honest" war in the whole world. Remember the television proposals on the use of high-precision bombs. When the entire bomb flight is broadcast on television. Recall the frames with drones, which show the effective work of American units at any point in the world.
None of the Bowl of this and SEAL Team 6. Some operations are controlled by the headquarters in the "Dam Neck" or the center for coordinating overseas operations with drone. And, as a rule, end in collapse. And here are those that are conducted on a spent scheme are often successful.
Operations are usually held at night. Not only pistols and rifles with silencers are used, but also cold. Operatives are pierced to the places of concentration or residence (which in Afghanistan was done much more often) and simply cut out all.
I think here it is necessary to tell about one scandalous operation of "bad in blue", which was held at the very end of their stay in Afghanistan in 2008. And he entered the history of the detachment under the codenate name "Panther".
"Badish" were then in the Afghan province of Gilmend. One of the most difficult in militarily and to this time considered to be a Taliban support. The main population of the Province of Pushtun. It is in this province that the greatest plantations of opium poppy are located. Southern border province, which always delivered many troubles.
So, at the beginning of 2008, the elders of one of the Pashtun villages with a complaint appealed to the commander of the coalition with a complaint that the "cats" destroyed several peaceful dehkans. Just so, without any reason. The complaint was transferred to Captain Scott Muur who commanded the division of "Kotikov".
Moore requested from the commander of the unit directly conducted by Panther, Captain Peter Valei explanations. As always in such cases, "civilians did not kill." I'm not me, and the horse is not mine. What Moore demanded the Center for Operations to conduct its own investigation.
The result of the investigation was shocking ordinary Americans facts. "Catiks" destroyed all men in the village! Base? They had a weapon at home. In addition, "surfaced" another unlucky episode. It became known that one of the team cut the throat of the killed Afghan. As this episode commented on one of the "Blue" commanders, Captain Slabinski, "he seemed crushing the corpse" ... By the way, I also had any questions to the Slabinski itself. The fact is that, according to the testimony of some operatives, it was this commander who ordered to kill everyone without making men.
The case in the end "jammed". No teams of Slabinsky gave. And the operative that I cut the corpse, it turns out, just removed the equipment from the killed. But, until now, there are no accurate information about the number of deaths of the Afghans or the objectives of the operation, nor about the place of accurate burial of the corpses.
Up to this point, I wrote about the well-known episodes of SEAL Team 6 activities. And now it's time to affect another side of this detachment. The fact is that, except for the "blue" and "golden" mouth, the team includes another division - "black" company.
The history of this squad in Team 6 is quite interesting. Initially, it was a team of high-class snipers. And the task of this team was to ensure the actions of operatives with firing accompaniment. Accordingly, the team members were attached to fulfill the specific tasks "Blue" or "golden" companies.
The transformation of the Sniper team in the "black" company "contributed" to the Saudites. More precisely, those who organized and conducted terrorist acts in the US on September 11. Immediately after these events, it was decided that the SEAL Team 6 should be a purely reconnaissance unit. The preparation of future team operations not only does not exclude, but also fully justifies the conduct of intelligence.
Today, operatives from the "black" company are scattered around the world. They are in American embassies not only Africa, Latin America or Asia, they are in European embassies. It is possible that such specialists also have.
According to the stories of some former team members, the operatives "Black" hundreds widely use diplomatic channels not only for collecting and sending intelligence, but also to deliver weapons and equipment to the necessary countries. In addition to the official "roof", the operatives of the "black" company work under the guise of local residents. In the same Afghanistan, local media reports often appear about the capture and destruction of incomprehensible whose intelligence officers.
In addition to the operative agents, the "black" company uses technical means of intelligence. From specially equipped cars, to yachts and other alleged civil courts, which are actually floating spyware. Caplast became ordinary.
Only a few cases are known when operatives from the "black" company used weapons. According to internal orders, the use of weapons by operatives of this unit is possible only in emergency cases. And any such case is considered in detail by command as a serious PE.
But there is in the "black" company, what is no longer anywhere and what causes the envy of the other operatives. Women serve in this detachment! And women operatives work not only on their own, but, most often, a couple with men. Tandem causes fewer questions from the special service of the state where there are couples. Yes, and in case of detection of interest in one of the operatives, the work does the other. The first "playing fool". In the American intelligence services such a tactic is called "softening".
Today, the "black" company is a rather serious intelligence structure. The coming to power Donald Trump made the work of some US intelligence bodies quite problematic. And most American politicians understand that this is just the beginning. It is doubtful that the president just retreat. He has too strong position. Security service worked too well. Too small compromising is stored in "stocking".
Yes, and proclaimed by Trump, the policy of orientation on internal affairs speaks for itself. The American army, little, will minimize its operations abroad. However, nobody canceled American interests outside the United States. Business, which means, politicians will require operations to ensure the "income" leaders of other states. Wants this freak, or does not want. America wants to advertise her presence, or does not want.
Be that as it may, but today the "black" company is already quite numerous. More than hundreds of operatives. On the number of information divisions, alas, not yet. And the company is constantly increasing.
In general, the Seal Team 6 detachment continues its activities in all corners of the world. With their problems, victories and defeats. And it is impossible to reset it with accounts. Mentioned by me above Congressman from Montana Ryan Zinka somehow said an interesting phrase: "When I was in the case, we were looking for war all the time. And these guys were found." I think it is better not to say.
Physical training
The physical training of "maritime cats" is given paramount importance. This unit is not vainly considered an elite. Only 10% of recruits pass all stages of a rigid training process and receive the seal cherished emblem, which is called "Budweezer" on slang (eagle with anchor in claws, a trident and a flint pistol).
The physical training program is divided into several multi-week cycles, built on the principle of load growth. So, if in the first week of a nineteenth ends, the recruits are pressed 3 campaigns only 15 times and run 2 miles, then on the ninth week they run 6 miles and press 6 approaches 30 times. At the eighteenth week (second nine-seater cycle), soldiers are already pressed 20 approaches for 20 times. This regarding the elementary OFP. The program of "Marine Cotes" includes a large amount of special trainings, march-shots in the conditions close to combat, special attention is paid to "water procedures".
Seal's instructor say that one of the tasks that the training process sets itself is the formation of an understanding of the fact that the aquatic environment is not hostile for them. This is exactly the difference between "maritime cats" from other special forces of the United States. Water for "seal" should be a native element. For this, the fighters constantly improve their swimming skills. At the same time, they are taught to swim in extreme conditions, with long breathing delays, with cargo, with knitted hands and legs.
Training "Marine Cotes" is always teamwork. A large number of special exercises (the transfer of boats, the lift of the logs, the test of cold and others) prepare "seals" to the coordinated group work in the conditions of combat.
At the end of the test, the recruits pass the so-called "hellish week" - five-day intense shock training at the limit of physical and psychological forces. Until the end of the "Hell's week", only 50% of those cadets are withstanding, which have reached it.
Often argue about which parts of the special purpose are best prepared. No wonder the fighters of the Delta and SAS (Delta Force) and SAS (United Kingdom) are trained on similar programs.
On Friday, on April 29, 2011, Barack Obama gave an order to hold an important operation in the modern history of the United States: to take the storming house in the Pakistani city of Abbotabad, where Osama Ben Laden hid. To fulfill such a difficult task, fraught with the unpredictable episodes, the American president chose a small group from the tactical division of the Navy "Sea Catics" (Navy Seals), which during the shootout destroyed the Al-Qaida Raster (Terrorist organization prohibited in the Russian Federation - approx.) On the night of May 1.
Two years later, the attention was leaked that only two of the members of the Team 6 group, that is, those fighters from the division "Maritime Sequins", which ended up with terrorist number 1, remained alive after death in a plane crash in Afghanistan 22 of 25 -This members. According to the Corriere Della Sera newspaper, in April last year, another fighter died during an unsuccessful parachute jump. High mortality once again proves that this group consisting of the most rigid selection of fighters is subject to constant risk.
The tactical division "Maritime Catures" was created after one of the largest military failures of the United States. In 1962, after the falling off of Cuban mercenaries in the bay of pigs in Cuba, President Kennedy approved the creation of a selected division of the maritime assault that could raid deep into the enemy territory. Martial baptism they passed in Vietnam, where the nature of the area and the lack of a clearly indicated front line demanded the participation of special forces. Created according to the Special Purpose Group of the Navy Britain, "Forks" received a task, among other things, to monitor and patrol the Mekong River on their high-speed boats.
It was then that the United States began to use them for the most difficult operations that needed almost with surgical accuracy. Among the most famous success should be mentioned by the release of the transatlantic liner "Achille Lauro", as well as Captain Richard Phillips, abducted by Somali pirates, participation in landing at Granada in 1983, and also participation in the Iraq war in 2003, the largest in the history of this division . The information and about some of the failures of the "Marine Cotes" were leaked, in particular, an attempt to seize President Panama Manuel Antonio Nortega during the invasion of this country, as well as the broken operations on the release of hostages at the US Embassy in Tehran in 1980.
When the selection sifts up to 90% of candidates. During the tests, it is necessary to run 24 kilometers, sailing three kilometers in open-air water bodies and withstand large physical exertion. In general, the preparation lasts a year and a half, then another year already as part of the unit, after which the fighters go to fulfill their first combat task.
The fighters of the Sea Catuals squad usually act as part of the platoon of eight people, although, depending on the nature of the operation, they can work both in charge and in full, where everyone has its own specialization: subversive, electronics, route gasket, medical care etc.
Mysterious and Grozny Russian "Special Forces"
The activities of the Russian special forces, the eternal opponent of the "Marine Costs" during the Cold War, was always shrouded in a dense curtain of the mystery, which turned it into a kind of myth. Although the very concept of "special forces" and denotes all parts of the special purpose of the Soviet and Russian era, among them especially stand out by the level of preparation two: GRU special forces, which is structurally included in the military intelligence service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, and special forces of the FSB, which is engaged in countering terrorism.
Despite numerous videos laid out on the Internet and telling about how special forces acts, the details of its preparation are still classified. These parts were created in the 50s of the last century, in the midst of the Cold War. Initially, they were prepared to perform various secret operations, including the introduction, as well as for conducting intelligence and sabotage activities. But after the invasion of Afghanistan in 1979, special forces came out of the shadows and began to actively participate in battles.
According to those few information that we know, the special forces pay great attention to hand-to-hand combat. Basically, they use sambo struggle techniques developed in the Soviet Union. In addition, a significant part of the preparation takes place using combat cartridges and explosives, which causes one of the high mortality rates among special purposes in the world.
Nevertheless, by its structure, they are similar to other parts of the special purpose. Each special forces division consists of 8-10 fighters operating under the command of an officer. They are trained with explosive substances, aiming shooting, maintaining radio engineering and exploration on the ground.
Among the failures of the special forces and, above all, the special forces of the FSB, in carrying out anti-terrorism operations should be mentioned by the assault of secondary school in Beslan on September 3, 2004, two days before this captured by militants-Islamists. It all ended with an erratic assault, which began the anti-terrorist division "Alpha". Subsequently, military personnel of the Armed Forces and Internal Troops joined him. The result is 370 dead.
As well as SAS and Delta Force
Russian special forces and detachment "Sea seals" are sufficiently known in the world, and especially in the media, but there are other selected parts passing similar training. In particular, the Special Air Service (SAS) and Sea Special Forces (SBS) of the Royal Armed Forces of the United Kingdom were created during World War II and became a kind of prototype of special purpose divisions that appeared subsequently. Among other tests, candidates must go through the Wales mountain ranges, carrying 25 kilograms of cargo, and live a month in rainforest.
In contrast to the aforementioned forces of special purpose units, Delta detachment, as a rule, act secretively, performing more delicate tasks. In military bases, they wear civilian clothes, and their area of \u200b\u200bactivity includes the United States.
Insurance materials contain estimates of exclusively foreign media and do not reflect the position of the EOSMI's editorial office.
The US Navy has a special exercise with the US Navy: a person connects his hands behind his back, tie ankle and throw it into the pool in a depth of 3 meters.
His task is to survive for five minutes.
As it often happens in the training sessions of "Marine Costs", the overwhelming majority of recruits fail. Many immediately fall into panic and begin to scream to be pulled out. Some are trying to sail, but go under water, and they have to catch them and pump off. Over the years of workouts, even deaths were repeatedly visible.
But some people manage to cope with the task, and helps them in this knowledge of two rather contradictory rules.
The first rule is paradoxically: the more you try to keep your head over the water, the greater the likelihood that you drown.
With knitted hands and legs, it is impossible to keep yourself on the surface of the water for five minutes. Moreover, your random junction will only help you drown even faster. The focus is to afford to fall on the bottom of the pool. Then it follows with force to push the legs from the bottom and when you will throw onto the surface, to breathe quickly and start the whole process again.
(At 8 years, not knowing about the existence of the "Marine Cotoves" of the US Navy, I will fall on the sea in the goal, when I was at a depth and missed the inflatable ball for which I had previously held.) Sucked to the bottom and repelled my legs at the top and in The side of the coast. So jumps and darked up to sandings)
Oddly enough, this reception does not require superhuman forces, nor special endurance. You do not even be able to swim, rather, on the contrary, you are required to even try to do it. Do not resist the laws of physics, they should be used to save their lives.
The second lesson is a little more obvious, but also paradoxal: the more you panic, the more oxygen you need, and the higher the probability that you lose consciousness and drown. The exercise draws your survival instinct against you yourself: the more intense your desire to breathe, the smaller you have the opportunity for this. And the more intense your will to life, the greater the chance that you die.
Thus, this exercise is not physical strength, and not for the power of will. It is aimed at the ability to own itself in a critical situation. Can a person suppress his instinctive impulses? Will he be able to relax in the face of potential death? Will he be able to risk his life for the sake of doing any higher task?
The ability to own itself is much more important than the ability to swim. It is more important than physical strength, endurance or ambition. It is more important than the mind, education and how well a person looks like a luxurious Italian costume.
This is the ability - the ability is not to succumb to instincts, when most of all you want this is one of the most important skills that anyone can develop himself. And not only for service in the fleet. Just for life.
Most people believe that the accompanying efforts and remuneration are directly dependent. We believe that if we work twice as much, the result will be twice as much. And if we twice the more attention more attention to your loved ones, then we will love us twice as much as. And if we shout twice with louder, our words will be twice as more convincing.
That is, it is assumed that most of what happens in our lives is described by a linear schedule, and that the "Unit" of the effort has a "unit" of remuneration.
But let me tell you (I hoped that if you drink two times more than usually, Red Bull, then with this article it will be finished twice as fast) - so almost never happens. Most of what is happening in the world, it does not occur on linear laws. Linear dependence is observed only in the most primitive, monotonous and boring things - when driving a car, when filling out documents, when cleaning the bathroom, etc. In all these cases, if you do something within two hours, then you get twice as much as if you were done within an hour. But this is due to the fact that there is no need to think or invent.
Most often, linear dependence is not respected precisely because monotonous mechanical actions make up a smaller part of our lives. The larger part of our activity is complex, and it requires mental and emotional efforts.
Thus, the majority of activities occur on the wasting yield curve.
The law of decreasing return states that from some moment the increase in investments does not bring equivalent impact. Classic example - money. The difference between earnings at 20,000 and $ 40,000 is enormous, it completely changes life. The difference between earnings in 120,000 and $ 1,40000 means only the fact that in your car there will be more pleasant heaters for seats. The difference between earnings in the amount of 127020000 and $ 127090000 is generally within the statistical error.
The concept of reducing the return applies to most of all events that are complex or new. The more often you take a shower, the more eaten the dinner of chicken wings, the longer you hold the ritual of annual travel to the mother - the less significant is every next of these events (and my mom will forgive me).
Another example: labor productivity studies show that we are working truly effectively only in the first four or five hours of our working day. After that, there is a sharp decline in productivity - to such an extent that the difference between work for 12 hours and for 16 hours is practically not visible (if you do not count the deprivation of sleep).
The same rule is valid for friendship. The only friend is always vital. Have two friends are always better than having one. But if the 10th friends add to 9 friends, then it will change little in your life. And 21 of each other instead of 20 brings only problems with memorizing names.
The concept of reduction of recoil works in relation to sex, food, sleep, drinking alcohol, training in the simulator room, reading books, vacations, hiring employees, caffeine consumption, postponement of money, planning business meetings, studies, video games and masturbation - examples are endless. The more you do something, the less remuneration you get for each subsequent action. According to the law, almost everything works.
But there is another curve that you probably never seen and who did not hear before - this is the reverse (inverted) yield curve.
The reverse yield curve demonstrates those cases where effort and remuneration have a negative correlation, that is, the more efforts you attach to anything, the smaller you reach.
And it is this law that acts in the example with the "marine quotes". The more effort you attach to stay on the surface, the greater the likelihood that you fail. In the same way, the stronger your desire to breathe, the more likely it is that you choke.
Perhaps now you thought - well, why should we know all this? We are not going to dive into the pool with knitted legs and hands! What do we care about inverse curves?
Indeed, there are few things in the life that work under the law of an inverse curve. But those few who are are extremely important. I will even decide to argue that all the most important experiences and events in life work under the law of an inverse curve.
Efforts and remuneration are directly dependent in the performance of primitive tasks. Efforts and remuneration work under the law to reduce returns when the action is complex and multidimensional.
But when it comes to our psyche, i.e. About what is happening exclusively in our own consciousness, the relationship between effort and remuneration is reverse.
The pursuit of luck will lead you away from it even further. The search for emotional calm is only more excited. The desire for greater freedom often makes us even more feel your non-vitality. The need to be beloved prevents us from loved themselves.
Oldose Huxley once recorded: "The more often we force ourselves to do something against your own will, the less we achieve success. Knowledge and results come only to those who studied the paradoxical art do not making, combine relaxation with activities. "
Fundamental components of our psyche paradoxical. This is due to the fact that when we deliberately try to cause a certain mood, the brain automatically begins to resist it.
This is the "Law of the Inverse": Waiting for a positive result in itself is a negative factor; Readiness for a negative result is a positive factor.
It applies to most (if not all) aspects of our mental health and relationships:
Control. The more we strive to manage your own feelings and gust, the more we are experiencing about your incontinence. Our emotions are involuntary and often uncontrollable, the desire to take control even more enhances them. And vice versa, the calmer we treat our own feelings and impulses, the more opportunities we have the opportunity to send them to the right direction.
Freedom. Ironically, the constant desire for greater freedom puts more and more barriers. Readiness to take freedom in certain boundaries allows us to independently determine these borders.
Happiness. The desire to be happy makes us less happy. Happy us makes reconciliation with failures.
Safety. The desire to feel safe gives rise to uncertainty. Reconciliation with uncertainty allows us to feel safe.
Love. The more we try to make others love us, the less they will be inclined to this. And, more importantly, the less we will love themselves.
Respect. The more we demand respect for yourself, the less we will respect. The more we ourselves respect others, the more respect it will be to us.
Confidence. The more we persuade people to trust us, the less that they do it. The more we trust the other, the more we get reverse trust.
Confidence. The more we try to feel confidence, the more we worry and worry. Readiness to recognize your drawbacks allows us to feel more comfortable in your own skin.
Self improvement. The more we strive for perfection, the sharper we feel that this is not enough. At the same time, the willingness to take ourselves as it is, allows us to grow and develop, because in this case we are too busy to pay attention to secondary things.
Significance: The more significant and deep we consider our own life, the more superficial it is. The more meaning we give the lives of other people, the more important we will become for them.
All these internal, psychological experiences work under the law inverse curve, because they are all generated in the same point: in our mind. When you wish you happiness, your brain is both the source of this desire, and the object that should feel it.
When it comes to these high, abstract, existential reasoning, our brain becomes like a dog that is chasing his own tail. Dog this chase seems quite logical - in the end, if with the help of chase it gets everything else that is necessary for her dog life, then why should it be different?
However, the dog will never be able to catch his own tail. The faster she catch up, the faster her tail runs away. The dog lacks the latitude of view, she does not see that it and the tail - one.
Our task is to learn your brain chasing your own tail. Refuse chase for meaning, freedom and happiness, because they can be felt only when you stop chanting them. Learn to achieve your goal by refusing to persecute this goal. Show yourself that the only way to achieve the surface is to afford to go down.
How to do it? Refuse. Surrender. Capitulate. Not because of weakness, but due to the understanding that the world is wider than our consciousness. Recognize your fragility and limitation. Your limb in an infinite time stream. This refusal of control attempts is not talking about weakness, but about strength, because you decide to abandon those things outside your power. Please accept the fact that it is not always and not everyone will love you that there are failures in life, and that you do not always find a hint that should be done next.
Discard the fight against your own fears and uncertainty, and when you think that you will soon be drown, you will reach the bottom and can push it away from it, and there will be salvation.
Sea Catals - United States Navy Seal ( SEa A.iR and. L.and.) (literally "seals") - the legendary, as well as the main tactical unit of the Special Operations (CSO) of the Navy, which is promptly subordinated to the command of special operations (CSR) US Sun (U.S. Special Operation Command, USSOCOM).
According to many military analysts, today the United States is the most prepared and equipped division in the world, along with the elite divisions of the US Delta, Forecon, Marsoc.
This is the elite of American special forces.
United States Navy Seal are designed for:
- exploration,
- conducting special and sabotage events, search and rescue operations,
- cover the fixed forces,
- guidance of artillery fire,
- demining and mining,
- providing communications in areas where fighting is underway,
- Fighting sea terrorism and illegal intersection of the country's state borders of the country,
- Perform other tasks facing the CSO.
The main division in Seal is a separate detachment (battalion) SPN (special purpose), consisting of:
- the commander of the detachment, which, as a rule, has a rank of captain of the 3rd, sometimes Captain of the 2nd rank of the US Navy,
- Headquarters:
⚓ - Chief of Staff of the detachment in the rank of captain-lieutenant (or Lieutenant Navy) (Operations, N3),

⚓ - two deputies (Navy officers in the rank of lieutenant Navy).
The standard number of the personnel of a separate detachment of the United States Navy with the departments of collateral is up to 300 people.
The basic database of the SEAL parts of the US Navy is:
— at the US Atlantic Coast:
⚓ - V / h "Little Creek" of the Airborne Forces of the Navy (as part of the main military unit of the US Navy "Norfolk"),
⚓ - Barrison Aviation Navy in / h "Ocean" (N.P. Dam Nek, Virginia), where a separate regiment of SPN Navy is housed on combating terrorism to the sea.
— on the Pacific Coast of the United States:
⚓ - K / h "Koronado" of the Airborne Forces of the Navy (as part of the US Navy "San Diego".
Naval Special Warfare Command (Naval Special Warfare Center) (Naval Special Warfare Center) are quartered here.
It is believed that the history of the "Marine Costoves" began with the time of the Civil War (1861), when the northern troops were used to detect min swimmers.
The first special divisions of the US naval forces were created in 1943, when the Americans made an attempt to adopt the experience of the military who led at that time military actions in the Burma jungle against the Japanese, and create similar forces. It is quite justified that the first instructors of the new division were the British military. In those years, the US marine seats were active participants in the most bloody operations of World War II, including on Izodzima Island and during the Allied landing in Normandy.
The modern corpus of the Sea Special Forces was formed in 1962 after the US military aged at that time to US President John Kennedy analytical note, which explained the need to create a special unit on the basis of the US Navy, able to perform sabotage problems in the territory of the conditional opponent - Warsaw countries Treaty, Cuba and Vietnam.
Since 2001, the US government allocates about 10.5 billion $ for the needs of the headquarters of special operations. At the same time, the number of business trips (approximately 4 times) has also increased.
Admiral W. Macrein who commanded this special unit, asked the authorities many times to provide him more resources and autonomy. According to some sources, the admiral wanted to expand its forces in Africa, Asia and Latin America, as well as achieve opportunities to independently make decisions on the movements of military equipment and the living force if necessary, in order to increase flexibility and speed of operations.
The physical training of US marine seals is given paramount importance.
The main methods of training SEAL were borrowed from combat swimmers - UDT units (Underwater Demolition Teams). Until 1983, when the UDT was disbanded, the main Kosty SEAL was formed precisely from the fighters of this squad, they were trained in it who planned to become a "sea seal". 
Only 10% of recruits pass all stages of a rigid training process and get a seal cherished emblem, which on slang is called "Budweezer" (eagle with anchor in claws, a trident and a flint pistol).
The physical training program of the "Marine Costs" is divided into several multi-week cycles, which are based on the principle of increases of loads. Thus, if, in the first week of a nine-week, recruits are pressing 3 approaches 15 times and run 2 miles, then on the ninth week they run 6 miles and press 6 approaches 30 times.
At week 18 (the second nineteent cycle), the fighters are already pressed 20 approaches for 20 times.
The physical preparation program of the "Marine Costs" includes a large number of special training, marchs in conditions close to combat. 
In order to instill with "maritime cats", the understanding of the fact that the water environment is not hostile for them, special attention is paid to the actions in water. The fighters of this special unit are constantly improving their swimming skills: they are taught to swim in extreme conditions, with long breathing delays, with cargo, with knitted hands and legs.
An important importance is also the psychological training of "maritime cats", during which they are trained to maintain peace of mind in the most extraordinary situations, consciously sounding the level of stress.
Psychologists working with them determine the 4 main factors that the fighters should take into account in critical situations:
- clearly and correctly set goals;
- visualize the steps of achieving these goals;
- be able to maintain a positive attitude and conduct an internal dialogue;
- To be able to keep stress under control.
