Although the invasion officially started on October 25th, D-Day, the first troops to enter on Grenada's territory were the Navy SEa Air Land teams or (SEALs). On Oct 23rd, Navy SEAL Team 6 launched a mission to reconnoiter the Point Salines airport. They were tasked to gather intelligence on the condition of the runway for an Airborne assault by U.S. Army Rangers. They were also to place signal beacons on the ground to guide the Rangers to the correct target landing zone (LZ). The SEALs static-line parachuted from the tailgate of a C-130 cargo plane. The 11 SEALs, 1 USAF Combat Controller and three Zodiac F470 rubber boats exited the aircraft, over open ocean, from an altitude of 500 ft.
Four of the SEALs, overburdened with excessive equipment and tangled in their parachutes, drowned upon landing in the water.
After a brief search for the missing SEALs, the remaining SEAL boat teams resumed their mission. Before they could gain the beach, they were forced to evade an enemy patrol boat. During the evasion, the Zodiac's gasoline-powered outboard motor was swamped and refused to start. The SEALs were forced to abort the mission and paddle to a pickup point.

The final SEAL mission was the rescue of Governor general Sir Paul Scoon, (Grenada is under the protection of Great Britain, at least in name) and his wife. This was a fitting SEAL mission called a "Snatch and Grab". The plan called for the SEALs to insert near the mansion by hovering helicopter fast rope, secure Governor General Scoon and his wife, and evacuate them and the team by helicopter to safety. Unfortunately, the mission unfolded badly. The insertion by the SEALs went as planned and the SEALs seized the mansion with no opposition. But, while the SEALs were identifying Mr. Scoon, an enemy counter-attack was organized using BTR-60PB armored cars and the SEALs were pinned down inside the building. A firefight started as enemy Soldiers tried to rush the mansion. A SEAL sniper engaged the troops from the mansion roof and killed 21 enemy Soldiers and drove them back. The Seals were trapped in the mansion for nearly 24 hours until they were relieved by a small marine company-sized unit the following day.
In the attempts to rescue the pinned down SEALs, two marine AH-1T Cobra helicopters were shot down, killing 3 marines, and reportedly a UH-60 Blackhawk was also downed killing one SEAL and one Army officer.
General Scoon, his wife, and nine aides were all safely evacuated without injury. Although the SEALs were not equipped to fight a sustained battle (no M72 LAW rockets to counter enemy armored vehicles), they relied on their training and tactical positioning to successfully complete the mission.
