Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 303 History
Construction Battalion Maintenance Units (CBMUs) have played a vital role in U.S. Navy operations since World War II, with 136 units initially established. During the Vietnam War, two units, CBMU 301 and 302, were activated. Post-Vietnam, CBMU 302 was retained, and further realignments led to the formation of CBMU 202 and 303. CBMU 303 was commissioned on August 21, 1993, at U.S. Naval Station Treasure Island, California, drawing personnel from various Public Works Centers and Naval Mobile Construction Battalions. Originally headquartered at Treasure Island, it was relocated to San Diego in September 1994, with detachments spread across California and Hawaii.
CBMU 303, though relatively new, has a rich history inherited from its precursor commands. It has been actively involved in operations such as the civilian strike support at Subic Bay and deployments to Southwest Asia during Desert Shield/Desert Storm. Its members have contributed to various projects, including the Marvin Shields Memorial in Washington, honoring the only Seabee to receive the Medal of Honor. The unit specializes in a range of construction and maintenance activities, underscoring its commitment to the "one Navy" concept and its crucial role in supporting Navy operations globally.
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.
