The Naval Special Warfare Group (NSWG) is an elite unit of the Philippine Navy trained in special operations, sabotage, psychological and unconventional warfare. It specializes in sea, air and land (SEAL) operations ranging from reconnaissance, close combat, demolition, intelligence and underwater operations in support of overall naval operations. The unit gained prominence in a number of anti-terrorist operations, most notably against the Abu Sayyaf Group, and is known for its highly-demanding physical training program for prospective members, which usually involves a week-long sleep deprivation exercise and a swim across Manila Bay from Manila to Cavite.
