NMCB-4 History
The 4th U.S. Naval Construction Battalion (4th NCB) was commissioned on May 11, 1942, starting its WWII efforts with the construction of advanced bases in Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. By 1943, it had expanded its operations to Guam and, later, Okinawa and Korea, focusing on building essential military infrastructure. Post-WWII, the battalion was decommissioned but reactivated in 1951 as Naval Mobile Construction Battalion FOUR (NMCB FOUR) in Norfolk, Virginia, later making its permanent home at Port Hueneme, California. Throughout the following decades, NMCB FOUR undertook a wide range of construction projects worldwide, including significant work during the Vietnam War, deployments to Diego Garcia, Guam, Hawaii, Japan, and disaster recovery efforts following Typhoon Tip and the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. NMCB FOUR's history is marked by rapid deployments and diverse construction projects that significantly contributed to U.S. military operations and disaster relief efforts. From fortifying the perimeter of Guantanamo Bay during the Cuban Missile Crisis to extensive operations in Vietnam, the battalion demonstrated versatility and a high operational tempo. In the 1970s, they provided humanitarian assistance to Vietnamese refugees and rebuilt barracks destroyed by natural disasters. The 1980s and 1990s saw the battalion extending its services to new territories, offering both military support and humanitarian aid, illustrating the battalion's adaptability and commitment to aiding both military personnel and civilians in times of need. 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.
