CDR Richard Marcinko

Over his thirty-year naval career, Richard Marcinko worked his way from enlisted man to the rank of captain. During his early years, Marcinko joined the UDTs (Underwater Demolition Marcinko & HumphriesTeams), and served as a Navy SEAL during the war in Vietnam. While serving 2 tours in Vietnam, Marcinko won the Silver Star, four bronze stars with combat V, two Navy Commendation Medals, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star. Marcinko's SEAL platoon became such an enemy killing force, that the Viet Cong posted a reward of 50,000 piasters for his death.

SEAL TEAM SIXBesides serving as a Naval Attaché to Cambodia and later as Commanding Officer of SEAL Team Two, Marcinko was the founder and first Commanding Officer of two of the military's premier counter-terrorist units: SEAL Team Six and Red Cell. SEAL Team Six engaged in highly classified counter terrorist missions in Africa, Central America, the Middle East, the North Sea, and beyond.



Red CellWhile commanding RED CELL, Marcinko used his teams' expertise as Navy SEALs to test the Navy's anti-terrorist capabilities. The result: RED CELL infiltrated supposedly impenetrable US military bases, weapons storage areas, aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, and other "secure areas". As Red Cell penetrated bases and took hostages, Marcinko's unit ran roughshod over would be defenders. Nothing was immune to Red Cell's "terrorist attacks", not even the President's jet, Air Force One.

Chi ha letto qualcuno dei suoi libri
sa di chi sto parlando!!!!

Si tratta del fondatore di uno dei
reparti antiterrorismo piu
temibili al mondo il NAVY SEALS SIX TEAM
e soprattutto la RED CELL.

Marcinko è stato il Seal
piu decorato e pericoloso
delle forze militari USA!!!
Un personaggio controverso
e leggendario.
Fedele al motto "facciamolo,
prima che ce lo dicano" creò
alla fine degli anni 70 un reparto militare
efficientissimo e dotato di elementi
di provata capacita.
Costitui agli inizi degli anni 80
"Red Cell" una unita di 14 elementi
che aveva il compito di testare
le difese delle principali basi
USA in tutto il mondo.
Per la sua capacita di iniziativa
e la filosofia non convenzionale
venne estromesso dal comando
dopo una clamorosa caccia
all'uomo che impegno per
diversi giorni la polizia militare
e l'FBI.
