I did searches before I posted the question.

I understand that in the US Military the term Special Forces is used to ID US Army Special Forces, known to most civilians as Green Berets. PJ's, Rangers, SEALs etc fall under the umbrella of Special Operations Forces...that is my understanding. In the book, written by a SEAL, the SEALs are called Special Forces. The only time I have heard SEALs called Special Forces versus Special Operations or Special Operations Forces was by civilians.

Just seems unusual for SEALs to call themselves Special Forces as it is done in this book written by a SEAL.
