) BACAU, Timor-Leste (Feb. 12, 2025) Steel Worker 3rd class John Vandevender from Chesapeake, Virgina, attached to Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 3 (NMCB-3), prepares dead wire by pulling three of them together out in long lines and tapes them in to tight bundles every couple of feet to help keep them in a neat bunch and make it easier to pull through conduit. NMCB-3 serves as the stand-in engineering force for Commander U.S. 7th Fleet, executing high-quality construction operations, activities, and investments. The battalion operates at the unit-of-action level to support major combat operations in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility, with expertise in airfield, waterfront, and advanced base construction.
