Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 202 History
Since its inception on March 5, 1942, the Seabees have become an essential component of the U.S. Navy, participating in every major American conflict, contributing to humanitarian missions, and aiding in global community and infrastructure development under the motto “We Build, We Fight.” Originating in WWII with 136 Construction Battalion Maintenance Units (CBMUs), their presence was notably sustained through the Vietnam War with the activation of CBMU 301 and 302, and further expanded in recent realignments with CBMU 202 and 303. CBMU 202, established in February 2005 in Virginia Beach, VA, specializes in providing public works operations, maintenance, and repair services at Forward Operating Bases and Expeditionary Medical Facilities, along with Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief (HA/DR) and Defense Support Civil Authority (DSCA) missions. Initially spread across several locations, it now operates with an active detachment in Jacksonville, FL, and two reserve detachments in Jacksonville, FL, and Norfolk, VA. Historically, CBMU 202 has been instrumental in executing CONTINUING PROMISE (CP) and SOUTHERN PARTNERSHIP STATION (SPS) exercises, focusing on medical, engineering, and veterinary humanitarian assistance in Central and South America to bolster partnerships and response capabilities for Foreign Humanitarian Assistance/Disaster Relief (FHA/DR). Despite not deploying as a whole unit, CBMU 202 members have fulfilled over 30 Individual Augmentee (IA) assignments across multiple theaters, including Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq, Africa, and Guantanamo Bay, providing critical engineering and construction support to U.S. government agencies and international partners. Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist The Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist insignia is a United States Navy warfare qualification awarded to personnel assigned to units within the Naval Construction Force (Seabees), such as Naval Construction Groups, Regiments, Mobile Construction Battalions, Underwater Construction Teams, Maintenance Units, and Amphibious Construction Battalions. Eligibility extends primarily to enlisted Seabee Occupational Field ratings and Civil Engineer Corps members, but any officer or enlisted member in a qualifying unit who completes the required criteria may earn it. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency across a broad range of naval and military subjects, including naval heritage, command and control, safety, logistics, communications, weapons, military tactics, and chemical, biological, and radiological warfare. This involves preparatory coursework, Performance Qualification Standards (PQS) for both general and unit-specific knowledge, an officer-specific PQS for officers, career performance and physical fitness standards, participation in field training or operations, a written test, a preparatory oral board, and a final comprehensive oral examination. The insignia, issued in silver for enlisted personnel and gold for officers, features an armed Seabee over a crossed sword and rifle atop oak leaves, symbolizing the Seabees. Authorized by the "Seabee Combat Warfare Specialist" instruction in March 1992, the insignia designator (SCW) is added to the rating designator of those qualified. The first recipient was its designer, Commander Ross S. Selvidge, in March 1993.
