It depends on the mission requirements and the location of the mission. DEVGRU, formerly known as SEAL Team Six, like the Army's "Delta Force" is primarily tasked with counter-terrorism and national security and operates worldwide. As Paladin mentioned, they are tasked with equipment and weapons development and evaluation and have special training in hostage rescue, CQB, etc.
Other than DEVGRU, the other SEAL teams comprise one of two Special Warfare Groups. One groups is based on the east coast and the other on the west coast. These teams respond to missions depending on the location of the mission and are tasked to geographic CINCs (Combined Intelligence Center).
