navy seals do not specialize in any type of recovery, including SAR. they are completely combat oriented. i would stick with the air force on this one.
The Air Force has the least amount of training than any branch of the military,
Air Force basic training is 7 weeks,
Army is 13 weeks,
Air Force personnel dont even carry rifles, all they have are handguns,
So I dont think they would send the Air Force to pick up a crashed alien ship;
What if there are live hostile aliens inside?
If I was in charge I would send in the most elite units, which would be the "Navy Seals"
After the ship is recovered I imagine they would send it to an "Air Force" base for reverse engineering
Or if they wanted to be really super secret about it,
They would air-lift it to a huge Navy Aircraft Carrier in the middle of the pacific ocean
or one of their underground/underwater bases, if they even have one....
With the Air Craft Carrier holding the ufo in the center, you could have 20 to 30 Fighter Jets on board ready to fly anytime within minutes, nuclear missiles, Artillery bombardment guns, etc,
The Air Craft Carrier could have a rader covering 500 miles,
At the radius of where the Air Craft Carriers Ships Raders ends,
You could place 5 Nuclear Submarines all around the radius with 500 miles of radar coverage,
At the 500 mile radar coverage where the subs end you could place 10 Gun Ships, around the radius of the subs
If you dont call that security,
Then I dont know what planet youre living on

You are incorrect on many statements. AFSOC or Air Force Special Operations Command has some of the most highly trained operators in the world. When the Navy SEALs are incapacitated, it is usually Air Force PJ's who rescue them. They have the same level of training if not more than any special forces team in the world. Air Force PJ's are the ones who specialized in the recovery of astronauts and their space capsules. They would be a much better choice than SEALs. Not to mention, most military operations in space are under the command of Air Force Space Command. I have some great pictures of Air Force Special Forces, just so you know that they too play a ground combat role, even in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The MOD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life. However, in over fifty years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.
The MOD has no specific capability for identifying the nature of such sightings. There is no Defence benefit in such investigation and it would be an inappropriate use of defence resources. Furthermore, responding to reported UFO sightings diverts MOD resources from tasks that are relevant to Defence.
Accordingly, and in order to make best use of Defence resources, we have decided that from the 1 December 2009 the dedicated UFO hotline answer-phone service and e-mail address will be withdrawn. MOD will no longer respond to reported UFO sightings or investigate them. The ongoing programme to release Departmental files on UFO matters to the National Archive will continue.

UFOs/ETCs (Extra-Terrestrial Crafts) are handled by UNIT (UNified Intelligence Taskforce). It's not just a thing from Doctor Who it's real as confermed by the former Canadian defence minister. He didn't name it or use the turm UNIT but he did say an international military organization exactly like UNIT exists to handle UFOs/ETCs and Extra-Terrestrials.

Anybody with an interest in this area should read the book ' Eyes Only ' about the life of Clifford Stone (personally i do not think it does the great man enough justice) but it gives some insight into the military workings of this field.
