CORONADO, Calif. (June 15, 2021) Naval Special Warfare Leader Assessment Program (NLAP) participants discuss leadership techniques during an NLAP pilot, June 15. NLAP, run by Naval Special Warfare (NSW) Center, is NSW’s new initiative to transform how it selects and promotes future leaders, increasing precision and selectivity in the assignment process for officer and enlisted leadership. NSW Center provides initial assessment and selection and subsequent advanced training to the officers and enlisted who make up the Navy’s SEAL and Special Boat communities. These communities support the NSW mission, providing maritime special operations forces to conduct full-spectrum operations, unilaterally or with partners, to support national objectives.
