CAPTAIN MICHAEL G. SLATTERY,  U. S. NAVY (ret.)

  

Professor Slattery has taught History and Government courses at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina since 1995 and subsequent to his retirement from the U. S. Navy. 

The son of a Naval Officer, Captain Mike Slattery began his Navy career in 1961 by enlisting in the Naval Reserves during his senior year at Mt. Diablo High school in Concord, California.  He commenced active duty with the Pacific Submarine Force in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in 1963, and  served aboard the USS TANG (SS-563) as Quartermaster SN (SS) (qualified in submarines), until his appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland in 1964. He graduated with the Class of 1968.
 

Captain Slattery later attended and graduated from Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training (Class 56). Following BUD/S he joined Underwater Demolition Team THIRTEEN (UDT 13), where he deployed to Vietnam as Officer-in-Charge of the forward-deployed detachment conducting river reconnaissance and combat demolitions operations based out of Da Nang, Vietnam.  Subsequent assignments included two tours with SEAL Team ONE as a Platoon Commander, and later as Executive Officer; and a return to Vietnam as a SEAL advisor conducting maritime operations and clandestine actions ashore in enemy held areas. 

Upon his return from Vietnam Captain Slattery was reassigned to Basic UDT/SEAL training (BUD/S) as Senior Instructor for SEAL Tactics, Weapons, Demolitions, and Land Warfare. Other subsequent tours included: Inshore Undersea Warfare Group ONE as Executive and later Commanding Officer; Naval Special Warfare Group ONE as Operations Officer; and two Pentagon-Washington area tours with the Strategy, Plans, and Policy Division (OP-60) of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Staff (OPNAV), and the Chief of Naval Personnel as SEAL and Navy Diver program coordinator. He was then assigned to Naval Special Warfare Unit TWO as Commanding Officer of all forward deployed Navy SEALs and Special Boat Detachments assigned for special operations contingencies throughout Europe.  

Just prior to completion of his military service in September 1994 Captain Slattery served as the Chief of Staff for the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), at Fort Bragg, NC.

He also served as JSOC's Director of Exercise and Evaluation prior to his promotion to

Chief of Staff.  Other senior level major assignments included Chief of Policy and Strategy and Deputy Director of Plans, Policy, and Doctrine (J5) for the Commander and Chief of the United States Special Operations Command, MacDill Air Force Base, Tampa, Florida.
 

Captain Slattery earned a Master's Degree in Political Science from the University of South Florida in May 1990. He is a member of PHI KAPPA PHI and PI SIGMA ALPHA National Honor Societies. He is also a 1977 graduate of the Naval War College, a 1983 graduate of the National War College of National Defense University, Washington D.C., and has been designated a "proven sub-specialist" in Political and Military Strategic Planning by the JCS.
 

His personal military awards include: the Defense Superior Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Bronze Star with Combat "V" distinguishing device, two Meritorious Service Medals, the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat "V", the Navy Combat Action Ribbon, and the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry.
