Dick Marcinko was at the Pentagon during Operation Eagle Claw and was assigned the duty of making SEAL Team 6 a reality.

Dick Marcinko, the founder of SEAL Team 6 and author of “Rogue Warrior,” sat down with Brandon Webb for a one-on-one interview.

This is a rare opportunity to hear the history of the UDT/SEAL teams from a living legend like Dick Marcinko, the founder of SEAL Team 6 and author of Rogue Warrior. Brandon Webb sat down with Dick Marcinko for an exclusive interview prior to the book club event earlier this month. During this portion of his […]

I had a chance to sit down for an interview with Richard “Demo Dick” Marcinko for SOFREP when he was in town for our book club event in New York (photo gallery here) this month. It was great to get his candid take on why he joined the navy, UDT/SEAL training, combat in Vietnam, how SEAL […]
