Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual

Story
THE ULTIMATE EVOLUTION IN COMBAT
Naval Special Warfare (NSW) is the Navy's special operations force and the maritime component of the United States Special Operations Command. Established in April 1987 in Coronado, Calif., NSW Command oversees all aspects of active duty and reserve Navy Special Operation Forces.
NSW is composed of approximately 2,200 SEALs (SEa, Air, and Land commandos), 600 SWCCs (Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen), and 3,200 technicians/support personnel. About 25 percent of this community of 5,000 are deployed to almost 30 countries worldwide on any given day.
History
During World War II, Underwater Demolition Teams (UDT) were needed to plant explosive charges to clear underwater obstructions for U.S. forces storming the beaches of Normandy. These "frogmen" set the standard for the ultimate warrior and became the pool from which the Navy SEALs grew in 1962.
Primary Mission Areas
Primary mission areas for NSW include special reconnaissance and direct action. Operators are also proficient in unconventional warfare, combating terrorism, foreign internal defense, information warfare, security assistance, personnel recovery, counter-drug operations, and hydrographic reconnaissance.
NSW forces can operate independently, integrate with other U.S. Special Operations Forces, or deploy with U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious ships.
SEAL Team Capabilities
SEAL Teams conduct a wide range of special missions in all environments and threat conditions. They infiltrate objective areas by plane, helicopter, ship, boat, or submarine.
They operate in small groups, increasing their ability to conduct clandestine, high-risk missions and provide real-time intelligence. The SEALs' "eyes on target" capability offers decision-makers immediate and virtually unlimited options in rapidly changing wartime situations.
Combating Terrorism
Since Sept. 11, 2001, NSW has proven to be America's force of choice to combat terrorism. They achieve this by gathering perishable intelligence, providing positive identification of the enemy, exploiting tactical intelligence, and conducting timely operations to either kill or capture the enemy.
NSW forces demonstrate versatility in unconventional environments. Examples include on-ground special reconnaissance/direct action missions in Afghanistan, boarding ships in the Arabian Gulf, performing the first POW rescue since World War II, and securing vital port cities in Iraq.
Deployment Schedule
NSW employs a 2-year, 4-phase deployment schedule. After a year of individual and unit-level training, a SEAL Team forms with other units into a Squadron.
This Squadron then spends six months training for a subsequent six-month deployment. The NSW Squadron includes senior leaders, SEAL Vehicle Delivery Teams and Special Boat Teams, Mobile Communications Teams, Tactical Cryptologic Support, and Explosive Ordinance Disposal.
The composite resources of the NSW Squadron provide commanders in each region with tactical forces that are completely trained, operationally focused, and integrated with command and control forward.
Dependable and deadly, NSW provides the best of the best — anytime, anywhere.

How to Play
Using the USB Headset (for PlayStation 2)
Headset Functions
•
Issue voice commands to your SEAL team during single player missions.
•
Receive Commands and Intel updates from SOCOM during single player missions.
•
Conduct 2-way conversations with other players during Online Games.
The SOCOM headset or USB headset issues voice commands. However, the headset is optional. You can also issue commands using button controls.
Issuing Voice Commands (Single Player)
To send a voice command, press and hold until you hear the mic turn on in the headset. Say the command, then release. When executed correctly, the command appears at the top of the screen, and the receiver sounds off to you.
A command consists of three basic components spoken with a normal voice into your headset microphone.
1. Say Who You Are Commanding
This is the first part of a command and the first menu displayed onscreen.
•
"FIRETEAM": Directs an order to all three members.
•
"BRAVO": Issues an order to only the two members of Bravo Element.
•
"ABLE": Directs Jester to take action.
•
"FRIENDLY": Directs an order to a civilian.
•
"ESCORTEE": Directs an order to someone traveling with your team.
•
"SUPPORT": Calls in for an air strike or other support from SOCOM.
2. Say What You Want Done
This is the second part of the command. The menu will appear to prompt you.
3. Say Where or How You Want the Order Carried Out
In some cases, you need to further define your order. It may be a map location or a type of explosive you want deployed.
Listening
You will hear three types of communication during single player games.
•
Team member communications including acknowledgement of orders or situation reports including kills, warnings and personal status.
•
Objective status reports and new Intel.
•
Warnings if you drift out of the mission area.
The Commands (Single Player)
Issuing Commands Using Button Controls
•
Press to open the team command menu.
•
Designate WHO will receive the order. Highlight your choice using the left analog stick or directional buttons.
•
Press to open the command sub-menu for the highlighted command; highlight your choice using the left analog stick or directional buttons, then press again to execute the command.
Team Command Actions (TCAs)
TCAs are one-button commands for the Fireteam or, depending on the TCA, just to Bravo. Located near the bottom of the screen, these commands appear in blue and are executed by pressing L2. These actions cannot be used everywhere in the game.
TCAs are unique Special Actions and appear only when you point the crosshairs at certain objects (i.e. vehicles) or buildings and places in the environment (i.e. open doorways).
•
L2 (tap): Give Bravo a MOVE TO CROSSHAIRS command.
•
hold L2: Give the Fireteam a FOLLOW command.
•
hold L2 (when the Fireteam is already following): Give the Fireteam a GET DOWN command.
Movement and Position Commands
You can use movement and position commands to specify exact positions or map coordinates.
Using the Crosshairs as a Pointer
Use the crosshairs to send team members to a position or alert them to something at a specific location. Position the crosshairs on the point of interest and issue your command finishing with the word "Crosshairs."
For example, position your crosshairs to point toward a location and issue the command "BRAVO... MOVE TO...CROSSHAIRS." Bravo will move into the position at which your crosshairs are positioned.
Using Nav Points
Nav Points are map coordinates marking key positions in your op area and are created prior to insertion. They have names such as Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Juliet, Romeo, Whiskey, X-Ray and Zulu, but can include others.
You can view them on the Tactical Map display by pressing SELECT and using the analog sticks to navigate and zoom the map.
Command List
Once you've selected WHO will receive the order, you can then issue movement, position and tactical commands.
•
DEPLOY: Use explosive weapons. If your SEALs are equipped with grenades, C-4 or satchel charges, they will respond.
•
FIRE AT WILL: SEALs will fire on any enemy encountered.
•
FOLLOW: You take point and your SEAL team follows behind you, assuming your body position. For example, if you go prone, they follow suit.
•
MOVE TO: SEALs move to a designated position.
•
LEAD TO: Use this command to decide if Able or Bravo will take point when moving from one objective to the next. Bravo unit leads only if you are within a certain distance of them. If you are outside that distance, they will wait until you are in range. Able teammate Killjoy will take the lead but will change to "Following" if you drift too far from him.
•
BREACH: Open door, deploy grenade and clear area on the other side.
•
OVERWATCH: Teammates will cover a designated area, calling out any enemies that they see. Place your crosshairs on the location and issue the command.
•
MOUNT: Order teammates to mount a vehicle or turret.
•
ACTION: Order teammates to perform the Special Action being highlighted by the crosshairs.
•
HOLD POSITION: Hold position until commanded otherwise.
•
HOLD FIRE: Hold fire until you countermand the order.
•
ESCORT: When traveling with an escortee who needs protection, command Bravo Element
