Shane, DEVGRU Naval Special Warfare Development Group

The Naval Special Warfare Development Group (formerly known as MOB 6, SEAL Team SIX, and MARESFAC) based at Dam Neck, Virginia, is responsible for U.S. counterterrorist operations in the maritime environment. Training for Six was conducted throughout the United States and abroad, both on military and civilian facilities on an extremely accelerated schedule. Exchange programs and joint training were expanded with the more experienced international teams such as Germany's GSG-9, Great Britain's Special Boat Squadrons (SBS), and France's combat divers. Soon after the departure of the unit founder, Cdr. Richard Marcinko, the unit's name; SEAL Team Six" was changed to "DevGru but only after they decided that the name MARESFAC (pronounced Mariz-fack) was just not a reasonable cover. For this reason, it was soon changed to the more plausible DevGroup for Special Weapons and Tactics Development Group
