WATCH: ‘The Men With Green Faces’ Vietnam War Navy SEAL Documentary
 
By Matt Fratus | May 11, 2021

Released in 1969 during the Vietnam War, Men With Green Faces was one of the first documentaries on the then-new training and operations of the Navy SEAL teams. When it was released, it was unlike almost any military documentary that came before it, with cameras diving into the infamous BUD/S training — Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL school — where candidates run through an obstacle course, carry inflatable boats on their heads, and perform calisthenics.

“These men are members of one of the most unique military organizations in history,” says the narrator in the opening monologue. “Behind these green faces are men who have accepted the challenge of some of the most daring assignments given to American fighting men.”

After the BUD/S footage, the cameras follow candidates through advanced training to learn the skills required to go to war with an elite Navy SEAL unit.
