Republic of Korea Navy Special Warfare Flotilla

Uncommon card · No. 104278

The Republic of Korea Navy Special Warfare Flotilla, abbreviated as WARFLOT, is a special operations force of the Republic of Korea Navy. It is commonly referred to as the Underwater Demolition Team or UDT, and sometimes as UDT/SEALs, coming from the fact UDTs are the most prominent branch of the flotilla and their close ties with US Navy SEALs. The UDT/SEALs under WARFLOT are heavily influenced and inspired by the United States Navy SEALs/Underwater Demolition Team/Special Boat Teams, which initially provided funding and expertise in the unit's creation, and still maintain a strong relationship by regularly undertaking joint combined exchange training (JCET) several times a year, utilizing American helicopter and maritime assets, and enrolling students each year in the U.S. Naval Special Warfare programs at Naval Special Warfare Center such as Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School and Special Missions Training Center school.
