| Deep in the South American Jungle, men from SEAL Team FOUR creep through the foliage, blended in with their surroundings and silently signaling their movements through hand signals. Dressed in jungle fatigues, carrying M4s with M-203s grenade launchers, two M-60s and a shotgun for close in work, these SEALS are right at home. |
| The Patrol Leader is in charge of the mission, the squad and his fire team in a firefight. His position is second in the patrol behind the point man. He plans every detail of the mission, including the navigation routes, the rally points, the lay-up points and other rendezvous points. |
| The radioman doubles as a grenadier (as do most of the men carrying the M4s). The radioman's job is to carry the squads external communication equipment, and to use it skillfully when called upon by the PL to do so. Radiomans position is third in the squad behind the Patrol Leader. |
| Assistant Patrol Leader is the seventh man in the squad having same responsibility as the Patrol Leader. |
|
The Rear Security is the second string point man. He is often a point in training. His job is that of a
shooter in a firefight, but on patrol he is the rear end point. He keeps his eyes and ears on the trail behind the squad. He travels slightly removed from the Assistant Patrol Leader (APL) and is often motionless, listening for any movement or unusual sounds from the direction the squad has just come.
