The battalion, nicknamed "Kangaroos" with the motto "Kangroo Can Do," played a crucial role in the invasion of Iwo Jima in February 1945, tasked with securing beaches and repairing airstrips under heavy Japanese fire. NCB-133 experienced significant casualties, the highest of any Seabee unit, but completed critical construction tasks, including airstrips vital for the Pacific Theater operations. After extensive contributions to the war effort, the battalion was decommissioned in December 1945. Recommissioned on August 12, 1966, as Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 133, the unit continued to play a vital role in the Naval Construction Force (NCF), participating in the Vietnam War, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and providing humanitarian assistance globally, including Hurricane Katrina relief. Throughout its history, NMCB-133 has been recognized for its contributions with numerous awards, embodying their readiness and capability to execute construction operations in various contexts, from combat to disaster recovery.
