Construction Battalion
A Construction Battalion, often referred to as a "Seabee," is a specialized unit within the United States Navy responsible for building and maintaining military facilities and infrastructure. These battalions are trained in various construction skills, including carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work, enabling them to operate in diverse environments, from combat zones to humanitarian missions.
Seabees play a crucial role in supporting military operations by constructing bases, airstrips, and roads. They are also involved in disaster relief efforts, providing essential services and rebuilding communities affected by natural disasters. Their motto, "We Build, We Fight," reflects their dual mission of construction and defense.
