Andy Stumpf: The Real Difference Between Regular SEAL Teams and DEVGRU
"The biggest difference that I noticed, and I noticed it immediately, was the access to budget. Yeah. And what the access to budget will bring to you. I got issued more gear on my first day there than I ever did in the history of my SEAL career before then and after combined."
Former Navy SEAL Andy Stumpf says the most immediate difference between conventional SEAL teams and Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) was resourcing, describing being issued more new equipment on his first day at the unit than across the rest of his SEAL career. He links the budget to newer weapons, technology, and facilities, and says DEVGRU’s charter includes testing and evaluating equipment.
