NWP 3-05 (MAY 2013), NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE, is intended for use by military planners and staff officers and contains information on the nature, forces, organization, and employment of naval special warfare forces.

NSW is a versatile, maritime-focused, direct action (DA)-oriented force that emphasizes innovation, stealth, precision, and aggressive action. NSW capabilities are based on a rigorous all-volunteer training and selection process stressing mental and physical toughness for SEAL and SWCC operators. NSW tactical mobility assets include combatant craft, undersea combat submersibles, and tactical ground vehicles.

NSW is an extreme-environment force operating deep at sea; through the surf; from the air; in jungles, deserts, or high mountains; and in all weather, day or night. NSW operates in all terrain but is uniquely trained and equipped to operate in maritime and riverine areas.
