Summary
Equipment Operator 2nd Class Renee Harrison, rear, directs Equipment Operator 3rd Class Sonya De Costa, both assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3's crane crew, while backing up a 40-ton hydraulic crane used to replace a 6,000-pound transformer that powers portions of Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan. One of the first battalions commissioned during World War II, NMCB 3's legacy stands strong in its ability to build and fight anywhere in the world as either a full battalion or as a group of autonomous detachments, simultaneously completing critical engineering and construction missions. For this deployment, NMCB 3 has split into nine details to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams are also conducting operations in Atsugi and Yokosuka Japan; Chinhae, Republic of Korea and China Lake, Calif. The Naval Construction Force is a vital component of the U.S. Maritime Strategy. They provide deployable battalions capable of providing disaster preparation and recovery support, humanitarian assistance and combat operations support. NMCB 3 provides combatant commanders and Navy component commanders with combat-ready warfighters capable of general engineering, construction and limited combat engineering across the full range of military operations.
