Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOC-R)

The Special Operations Craft Riverine (SOC-R) is designed as a high speed boat with ample weapons and equipment capacity. Its primary mission is insertion/extraction of SEALs into a low-to-medium threat environment in a riverine area. Secondary missions include providing fire support, serving as a staging area and reconnaissance platform, acting as a waterborne guard post, and operating as an interdiction or Search and Rescue (SAR) craft. The SOC-R is quick and maneuverable, with a shallow draft, and can operate in a coastal environment as well as waterways that are located well inland. Its large capacity allows forces to conduct extended operations.
