Naval Special Warfare Group 11 held a change-of-command ceremony at Naval Base Coronado’s Silver Strand Training Complex on July 25, marking the transition of leadership from Capt. Christopher Wear to Capt. Stephen M. Healey.
Healey, who most recently served in a senior role within Naval Special Warfare Detachment Washington, D.C., brings a wealth of experience in both joint and naval special warfare operations. In his first address as commanding officer, Healey thanked his predecessor and affirmed his commitment to continuing the group’s legacy of operational excellence.
“I am truly honored to take command of group 11, an organization that exemplifies unwavering dedication and exceptional professionalism,” said Healey.
The group is a component of U.S. Naval Special Warfare Command and is primarily composed of Navy SEAL and Special Warfare Combat Crewmen (SWCC) units from the Navy Reserve.
