There is no Team 6, Marcinko and a friend of mine Lt. Mike Thornton (MOH) formed them in 1980. But they were disbanded in 1987. They became the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) and are under the direct command of Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). JSOC commands DEVGRU, 1st Army SFOD-D (Delta) and 24th Special Tactics Squadron (STS24). So when people say SEAL Team 6 they are incorrect.
Look, hey man not disagreeing, but they still use the SEAL team 6 moniker everywhere after they were officially disbanded when Marcinko got shit canned and then reformed as DEVGRU ....
Oh I agree that they still use it. I was explaining why there is no T6 in the list of teams. Technically and officially Team 6 no longer exists.
Yep, sure, Np. Some of those former SEAL members themselves and the Military aficionado social media websites should stop using it too then .... It creates purposeful disinformation (i mean it's not that those guys shouldn't know or don't - they most likely all do) - i mean mainstream movies and TV shows etc based on the name is just legit propaganda.
