Description
Excerpt from Handbook of Naval Combat Underwater Demolition Team Training
The Naval Combat Demolition Units Project was initiated as a part of the U. S. Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Forces training program on 6 May 1948, as a result of a directive issued by the Commander in Chief, U. S. Fleet. The purpose of setting up the training was to prepare selected personnel in the removal of underwater obstacles. At first, the trainees were drawn entirely from the Construction Battalion. Now, qualified men are accepted from any branch of the Naval Service.
Lieutenant Commander Draper L. Kauffman was the first officer in charge of the project. With his wide range of experience in bomb disposal and demolition work as a background, a vigorous training program Was established.
