Dear Frogmen, Today’s Navy SEALs trace our lineage to the UDT (Underwater Demolition Unit) and NCDU (Naval Combat Demolition Unit) teams of World War II. Following the disaster at Tarawa in 1943, when amphibious vehicles stalled on a previously unknown reef, leading to the deaths of countless Marines, the Navy began looking into ways to detect and destroy such obstacles. Lt. Commander Draper Kauffman first came up with the idea for an elite group that would literally swim out to a reef or beach to reconnoiter or destroy any obstacle ahead of an invasion. Kauffman produced the nucleus of the training modern day SEALs go through, including “Hell Week” and Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL training (BUD/s). The Frogmen of WWII went into battle with nothing more than Navy issued swim trunks, a facemask, a knife, a pistol, and a clipboard with a charcoal pencil. During the lead up to the Normandy invasion, UDT and NCDU teams trained at Fort Pierce, Florida in amphibious landings before departing for Great Britain. On D-Day, NCDU teams, augmented with Army combat engineers, landed on Utah and Omaha beach. Wearing a full kit, including a 20-pound satchel of explosives, the Frogmen on Utah went to work blowing beach obstacles. The casualty rate among the teams was high due to the small amount of men in the units. On Omaha, the casualty rate was much higher. When the teams landed, they found infantrymen hiding behind the obstacles they needed to blow. Some of the obstacles even had teller mines attached to them. NCDU teams worked hard to not only blow the obstacles under fire, but also convince infantrymen to get away from the blast radius. By the end of the day, the teams suffered 91 casualties out of a force of 175 men, 52 percent of the force. In August 2022, we are partnering with The National WWII Museum to bring you a unique and exclusive opportunity to dive into our history in Normandy during a tour of this historic region of France. Fellow SEAL Benjamin Milligan joins the tours to bring an added level of expertise that only he can offer, having done extensive research for his recently released book By Water Beneath the Walls. Also drawing on the historical expertise and wide-ranging archival collections of our museums, you will be taken back in history to walk (and swim!) in the footsteps of our predecessors, to honor those who served before us.

VETERAN SPOTLIGHT THROUGH THEIR EYES REMEMBERING THE FALLEN IN NORMANDY George Morgan joined the US Navy at the age of 17. Morgan’s time as a lifeguard made him a perfect candidate for amphibious training, and he and a number of other qualified sailors received specialized training in underwater demolitions. Morgan learned the art of destroying beach obstacles for amphibious landings, most importantly to set the twenty-pound Tetrytol explosives to different obstacles expected in combat. During “Hell Week,” the “frogmen” swam at least eight miles a day, ran several miles, performed hours of calisthenics, and undertook various other physical and mental activities with little sleep or time to eat. After training in Florida, Morgan and two dozen other frogmen transferred to Great Britain, where they trained for the invasion of Normandy. On D-Day, Morgan and his NCDU team landed on Omaha Beach with several men losing their explosives in the choppy water. Morgan remembered G.I.s trying to hide behind the very beach obstacles he was sent to destroy. “I didn’t know if I’d see the sunset that day, I was so scared…[thinking] what in the world am I doing here?” He compared the noise on the beach to a continuous crack of lightning and slap of thunder right above you that cannot be escaped. The carnage George witnessed on Omaha remained vivid in his mind the rest of his life. GEORGE MORGAN After D-Day, George Morgan transferred to the Pacific, where he saw combat on Iwo Jima and Okinawa. On Iwo Jima, Morgan and his team collected sand from the beach for analysis prior to the invasion. He later swam to shore again to place a small light on the beach for navigational purposes. During the invasion of Borneo, later that year, Morgan was wounded when he was blown out of the water. He then had the honor of witnessing the formal surrender of Japan, from his ship in Tokyo Bay. George robert Morgan After the war, Morgan received a Fleet Appointment to Annapolis by Lt. Commander Draper Kauffman. However, after two fainting spells while on leave, UDT-SeAL Morgan was discharged from the Navy. He then went to college on the GI Bill. 1926–2018 Hear George’s’ story in his own words in the Digital Archive of The National WWII Museum.
