Rear Admiral Collin Green, commanding officer of the Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), has commissioned an internal investigation to determine why the Navy SEAL community has been repeatedly afflicted with scandals.

“[We intend to review] what we’re doing in the schoolhouse, what we’re not doing, what we’re doing relative to leader development and hard ethical decisions, combat ethics, and seeing if we’re addressing that,” said Adm. Green.

    The Committee finds that members of the {NameGroup}, while acting with best intentions in performance of their duties in the national interests of the United States of America, did exercise poor judgement and command. Criminal matters that come to attention are not treated lightly, and will be investigated and prosecuted to the full extent of the law. This has been a regrettable and unfortunate chapter in {NameGroup} history, and will be learned from so that mistakes are not repeated.
