Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133, operate a backhoe, removing material from a simulated crater during the Airfield Damage Repair evolution at an outlying field of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC in support of Large-Scale Exercise 2021 (LSE 2021).
#LSE2021 is designed to refine how we synchronize maritime operations across multiple Fleets, in support of the Joint Force. U.S. Naval Forces provide a flexible, mobile and ready option for U.S. leaders to consider in defending American interests. In war, damage is expected and rapid repair capabilities can make all the difference in a complex area of operations like the Pacific.
In war, damage is expected and rapid repair capabilities can make all the difference in a complex area of operations like the Pacific. Seabees are the only asset in the Navy inventory capable of constructing, improving, operating, and recovering the infrastructure required to support fixed and non-fixed forward site expeditionary operations.
The Seabees conduct expeditionary airfield damage repair (ExADR) which provide unique and mission-critical damage response capabilities that ensure sustained application of Fleet firepower in a distributed maritime operations (DMO) environment.
