    Capt. Hans Probst (Right), Commander, 30th Naval Construction Regiment (Foward), Brig. Gen. Timothy C. Hanifen (Left), commanding general, 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) and Brig. Gen. J.A. Kessler (Center), commanding general, 2nd Marine Logistics Group (Forward), stand in front of their troops at a ceremony that officially opened a newly renovated runway at Camp Taqaddum. For the first time in two years, the airfield is operating at its full capability. In the last three months, a group of Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 1 had been working feverishly to repair unusable parts of the runway. NMCB 1 is deployed to several locations in the Middle East and Afghanistan, providing responsive military construction support to U.S. military operations. NMCB 1 is part of nearly 1,200 Sailors and Marines supporting critical construction efforts in the Al Anbar province of Iraq.
