Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit

A Mobile Inshore Undersea Warfare Unit (MIUWU) was a component of the United States Navy's Force Protection Package tasked with providing seaward security to joint logistics over-the-shore operations from either a port or harbor complex or unimproved beach sites. The mobile inshore undersea warfare unit often made up of all USN, USNR rates including Seabees and are equipped with mobile logistics, radar, sonar, and communications equipment located within mobile elements, such as a tent, specially modified HMMWV, or truck-mountable container. Once deployed the unit is stationed until the security issue is resolved. No MIUW team member deployed returned from the Vietnam conflict.
