                  SEAL's are simply the best special forces team the
                  U.S. has to
                  offer. 
                  Its men and women recruited from all branches of the
                  military and
                  trained
                  in every conceivable way to the brink of
                  perfection.  They perform
                  all the duties of the rest of the U.S. special forces
                  as well as any
                  job
                  that needs doing.  SEAL Team 8 is the section of
                  SEAL's trained
                  for
                  Warfare in Africa, and contains many personnel of SEAL
                  Team 6 (counter
                  terrorism) as well.   SEAL's often work in
                  conjunction with
                  the
                  CIA as well as through the standard military
                  authority.  They have
                  also been known, on occasion, to work with friendly
                  indigenous
                  personnel
                  on LRRP and infiltration missions, though any SEAL
                  will tell you they
                  rarely
                  need such help.  SEAL's usually operate in 4-12
                  man teams

                Originally
                      the only Special Forces group of the USAF, their
                      role has been expanded
                      to all branches of the military.  Their
                      singular function is the
                      rescue
                      of the pilots and crew of downed aircraft. 
                      They are equipped with
                      specially armed and modified Seagod helicopters or
                      AV-9's and have an
                      average
                      response time of 15 minutes (roll 1d10+10
                      minutes).  The ARRS
                      teams
                      are truly the Trauma Team International for U.S.
                      military pilots. 
                      (In fact if after leaving the Armed Forces, any
                      ARRS personnel who
                      wishes
                      employment with Trauma Team is almost certain to
                      be hired and given an
                      extra 20% bonus in pay.)
