Notă biografică

Author Cdr. Michael P. Wood (Ret.), a former award-winning military photojournalist, examines the beginnings, training, and operations of the UDT and SEAL teams in the San Diego area through photographs provided by individual Frogs and SEAL s and the archives of Naval Special Warfare Command Historian and UDT/SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida. He served as part of the SEAL, UDT, and SEAL Delivery Vehicle teams since 1969 both as enlisted and as an officer, retiring in 2003 as a U.S. Navy commander after 34 years service.
