Navy Seabee battalion honored in decommissioning ceremony, is deactivated after 80 years of building and fighting

VIRGINIA BEACH — The “Gator Bees” of Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 have embodied the motto of Navy Seabees for nearly 80 years, building and fighting as called upon. But come March 31, the Virginia Beach-based battalion will be deactivated.

Sailors from Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 honored the unit during a decommissioning ceremony Thursday at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek’s Chapel.

Amphibious Construction Battalion 2 was one of two unique battalions in the country. It played a major role in maritime prepositioning force operations throughout every conflict in which the U.S. has been engaged since World War II — providing support for ship-to-shore connections and installing numerous military camps.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Why would the military want such units around?  They are so 9ld school and probably unwoke as they can be.
