Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Maldonado, builder, and Gunnery Sgt. Javier Vega, both assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 40, conduct a perimeter security check around a new combat outpost in Diwar, Afghansitan. Active duty and reserve component Seabees assigned to Naval Mobile Construction Battalions 40 and 18 secure and fortify a combat outpost in Diwar, Afghanistan.

The combined efforts by joint forces will restrict movement of Taliban insurgents and help secure self-governing efforts in Afghanistan.
