Builder 2nd Class Christian Guzman from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NCMB) 3's Atsugi, Japan, detail answers questions from NMCB 3’s Commanding Officer Cmdr. Gordon Meek during a one-day visit to the detachment's construction site. NMCB 3's Atsugi team is completing construction of a warehouse to provide added storage space for Naval Air Facility Atsugi. 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 9 details to perform critical construction projects in remote island areas such as Timor-Leste, Tonga, Cambodia and the Philippines. The teams will also conduct operations in Atsugi, Yokosuka and Okinawa, 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.
