U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s are Direct Action Only as "Short-duration strikes and other small-scale offensive actions", emphasize "Short Duration" as measured in hours. U.S. Army Special Forces are trained and organized (U.S. Army Special Forces Support Teams, ODBs) to conduct Long Duration Operations days, weeks, months, years as "Until the Mission Objectives are completed", reason why U.S. Army Special Forces Teams are still at Afghanistan.
Standard Operating Procedures for a "Snatch and Grab". Direct Action Team does the Snatch and Grab after 2 to 4 Teams provide Perimeter Security around Mission Objective, this was done ever since 1993 U.S. Army Special Force 1st Operational Detachment's raid to capture Somalis Warlords, to prevent the Mission Team and Target from being surrounded and trapped by Enemy Forces. One or more Team Members performing Perimeter Security face the objective, to Cover the Perimeter Security Teams "6" (backs) so they are not attacked from behind, and also to prevent any "Targets" from escaping. Lesson learned from Democrat President Clinton's 1998 Declared War Against U.S. Ally Iraq 1993 to ?, U.S. Army Special Forces Snipers (Urban Warfare, usually the M-25 Sniper Rifle) are inserted undetected before the start of the "Snatch and Grab" Mission to provide constant Intelligence of the Objective, and to provide "Overwatch".
Ever since Democrat President Clinton's 1993 Disaster, the U.S. Army Special Forces Mission Team has "On Call" extremely heavily armed Teams, Armored Vehicles, Attack Helicopters (A.H.) usually of the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (S.O.A.R.), U.S. Air Force Special Operations Wings AC-130s, CIA's MQs (Armed "Drones").
The other reason that U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s do not do this kind of Mission, is unlike U.S. Army Special Forces being fluent in the Language and knowledgeable of the Nations Cultural Anthropology (Government, Military, History, Culture, Religion, Beliefs, etc.) that they are Responsible for, U.S. Navy S.E.A.L.s are not.
