Management Advisory: Naval Special Warfare Command Should Relocate, Reschedule, or Cancel Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Candidate Water Training When Water Bacteria Levels Exceed State Safety Standards (Report No. DODIG-2025-067)

Evaluation

This final management advisory identifies concerns found during the DoD Office of Inspector General’s “Evaluation of Medical Care Provided to Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Candidates” (Report No. DODIG‑2025‑008). We previously provided copies of the draft management advisory and requested written comments on the recommendations. We considered management’s comments on the draft management advisory when preparing the final advisory. These comments are included in the advisory.

 

The Naval Special Warfare Command (NAVSPECWARCOM) Commander agreed with the recommendations presented in this advisory; therefore, we consider the recommendations resolved and open. We will close the recommendations when management officials provide us documentation showing that all agreed‑on actions to implement the recommendations are completed.
