Petty Officer 3rd Class Eric Kauffman of Granville, Penn., assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 27 uses an excavator to clear a section of the Euphrates River bank to move equipment that the Seabees required to conduct construction operations. The Army's 341st Multi Role Bridge Company assisted the Seabees in this high profile joint service small craft incursion barrier project located on the Euphrates River near the city of Husaybah in western Iraq. The Seabees of NMCB 27, also known as the 'Skibees", homeported in Brunswick, Maine, are deployed to Iraq and other areas in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. The tasking of the Seabees is to conduct Marine Expeditionary Forces directed construction projects for Marines and other units operating in al-Anbar province.
