The U.S. Naval Construction Battalion, better known as the Seabees, participate in the annual field training exercise Operation Bearing Duel. Their nickname is a heterograph of the initials “C.B.†from the words Construction Battalion.
According to a Navy news release, Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 3 participated in a successful Field Training Exercise (FTX) at Fort Hunter Liggett, Calif.
FTX is intended to test the battalions mission readiness and small unit leadership by using real-time training including chemical, biological and radiological attacks, improvised explosive devices and the use of guerrilla tactics during attacks on the battalion.
