US Naval Special Warfare Development Group
This is the newest DEVGRU Command coin, and the image on the reverse side of the coin is a memorial to the lives lost on 9-11. It is a piece of steel from the Twin Towers in the shape of Neptune's Trident, and marked "PDM" for the American steel company Pittsburg Des Moines (PDM) Steel of which the Twin Towers were constructed. Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU) or frequently regretted to as SEAL Team Six is one of two primary direct action units in Joint Special Operations Command. Formed in the aftermath of Operation Eagle Claw, Development Group was built to solve a problem: America needed a unit that could operate faster, deeper, and with fewer constraints than anything that existed at the time. What emerged was a Tier 1 force under JSOC designed for the missions no one else could accomplish. The deed is all… not the glory.
