CORONADO, Calif. (Aug. 25, 2021) Rear Adm. H.W. Howard III, commander, Naval Special Warfare Command, and Naval Special Warfare Group Eight�s (NSWG-8) Command Master Chief Brandon Barker unfurl the command�s new pennant during an establishment ceremony for NSWG-8 onboard the Silver Strand Training Complex. The establishment of NSWG-8 also signaled the disestablishment of Naval Special Warfare Groups Three (NSWG-3) and Ten (NSWG-10) as their headquarters, missions, functions and tasks realigned to form NSWG-8. The creation of NSWG-8 accelerates NSW�s transformation by converging undersea operational capabilities and advanced intelligence and communications capabilities. Naval Special Warfare is the Nation�s premier maritime special operations force � a highly reliable and lethal force � and is uniquely positioned to extend the Fleet�s reach and deliver all-domain options for Naval and Joint Force commanders.
