Special Boat Squadron 2 (SBR-2) Details
The Squadron was first commissioned as River Squadron TWO on 10 July 1971 with headquarters at the U.S. Naval Amphibious Base, Little Creek, Norfolk, Virginia. This command is a component of Naval Warfare Group TWO as part of the Special Operations Command. On 1 March 1979, the Squadron was reorganized and the name was changed to Special Boat Squadron TWO in order to more clearly delineate its' missions. The Squadron is composed of four subordinate Special Boat Units: Twenty, Twenty Two, Twenty Four, and Twenty Six. The missions and tasks of Special Boat Squadron TWO include the following tasks in support of warfare and amphibious operations: coastal patrol and interdiction; surveillance; the development, test and evaluation of high speed combatant craft; training of other U.S. and allied units in coastal and riverine warfare technology; and the training of the Fleet in fast patrol boat and anti-fast patrol boat tactics.
