Military training?

Question

Which military has the hardest training :
Army
Marines
Navy
Navy Seals
U.S Airforce

Answer 1

You forgot the Coast Guard.

Answer 2

If you mean Basic Training, then Marines.

If you mean the hardest training in the Military, that would be the Army SF and although nobody knows what it's like, I would imagine Delta Force has the hardest training of any branch. Though Delta Force is a multi-branch thing taken from SF, SEALS, RAngers, etc. it's under Army Command.

So, overall Hardest:
Army

Hardest for the average soldier:
Marines

The SEALS are not a branch of the military. They are part of the Navy. So, their basic training would be for Navy. Their training doesn't even come close to matching SF training.

Answer 3

I think it is unfair to group special force groups like the Seals with regular military branches.

The Seals are awesone, without question. But, they are a special group with a special purpose. Only a select few are even given the chance to try to become one.

With that said, I think you have to ask this question about the groups that anyone could decide to join. Everyone has the same chance to join the Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force, and the Coast Guard. Out of those, the Marines by far has the most difficult training. Twelve weeks just for boot camp...

Just my opinion.

Answer 4

I think that the Marines and the Navy Seals are the hardest to pass because they are the elite troops of the united States

Answer 5

depends on what you mean by training? Each have their pluses and minus', and there are so many different ones.

Army Special Forces ( before you get to their training you have already gone through Airborne and Ranger training.. Navy seals?

If you are talking about basic it is probably the Marines as theirs is longer, that is when you don't count Army Advanced Infantry Training!

Few people get into the Seals or the US Special Forces!

There are these: United States Army Special Forces
Underwater Demolition Team
United States Special Operations Command
United States Special Operations Forces
U.S. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance
Red Cell
Air Force Air Commandos
Delta Force
Special Air Service
Special Boat Service
Frogman
Mark V SOC
Operation Anaconda
Canadian Special Forces Canada's JTF2
Z Special Unit
United States Navy#Special warfare
United States Navy SEALs in fiction
DEVGRU.

The Seals may be the hardest, but they all have different missions to accomplish so it is hard to rate them.

Answer 6

Obviously the US Navy SEALS - their training is physically, emotionally, psychologically and in all other means mentally exhausting. (USMC Force Recon, US Army Rangers and Green Berets, USAF Para-Rescue are right there with the SEALS in all categories, but I've spoken to Recon Marines that say that SEAL training is the toughest - high praise coming from that bunch). But with the others, it depends on the individual, and what you mean by hardest. If you mean most physically demanding, cleary the USMC and the Army; and they are virtually the same. If you mean most intellectually demanding, then the Navy and Air Force (again virtually the same). If you mean which one demands the most from you militarily, then it's the Marine Corps - all discipline and polish.

Answer 7

If you want the best, I would say Green Berets. I would dare to hazard a real good guess and mostly likely I would be wrong as to the location of any Green Beret. Marines can claim to be the first in. But I believe the Green Beret can no longer see that location over his shoulder.

Answer 8

as far as basic training, marines no doubt....the army doest even yell at the privates anymore..the navy and airforce are said to be a cake walk by everyone ive talked to and your not a marine until after boot camp graduation...

Answer 9

Green Berets are in the Army.

Navy Seals
Marines
Army
Air force and Navy are about the same standards

Answer 10

Navy seals by a long shot. No one in the military will even second guess it.

Answer 11

Navy Seals, then the Army Rangers (that is coming from an Army guy).
