Effects of a Prolonged Submarine Deployment on Special Operations Forces Mission-Related Performance

Abstract

Physical exertion is an inherent element in many Special Operations Forces' (SOF) missions. It was hypothesized that a SOF unit following a prolonged submarine deployment might have a decrement in a variety of physical tasks that require aerobic endurance, anaerobic bursts or physical strength. This study was conducted to document how mission-related performance of SEAL Team One is affected following a long submarine deployment on SSN 642 Kamehameha.
