(CNN) — A woman qualified to become a part of the Naval Special Warfare Command crew for the first time in the organization's history, according to a press release from the US Navy Thursday.
The woman will go on to become an operator on one of the Navy's special boat crews conducting covert operations, so she cannot be identified by name for security purposes, a US Navy spokesperson said.
The Naval Special Warfare Command, which includes Navy SEALs and Special Boat crews, supports maritime "special operation forces" that "conduct full-spectrum operations" either by themselves or with other military partners, the US Navy said in a release.
