Seabees with the Gulfport, Mississippi-based NMCB-1, currently deployed to Guam, are currently supporting the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit as part of the U.S. Defense Support of Civil Authorities relief effort here. Marines with the 31st MEU and Combat Logistics Battalion 31 arrived on Tinian Oct. 29-30 in the wake of Super Typhoon Yutu as part of the U.S. DSCA mission here. The Marines arrived at the request of CNMI officials and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency to assist relief efforts in the wake of Yutu, the largest typhoon to ever hit a U.S. territory. The 31st MEU, the Marine Corps’ only continuously forward-deployed MEU, provides a flexible force ready to perform a wide-range of military operations across the Indo-Pacific region.
